ICAART 2015 Special Session

Partiality, Underspecification, and Natural Language Processing (PUaNLP
2015)

Lisbon (Portugal)
  10-12 January, 2015

SCOPE

Computational and technological developments that incorporate natural
language are proliferating. Adequate coverage encounters difficult problems
related to partiality, underspecification, and context-dependency, which
are signature features of information in nature and natural languages.
Furthermore, agents (humans or computational systems) are information
conveyors, interpreters, or participate as components of informational
content. Generally, language expression depends on agents' knowledge,
reasoning, perspectives, and interactions. The session covers theoretical
work, approaches, and techniques for computational models of information
and its presentation by language. The goal is to promote intelligent
natural language processing and related models of thought, mental states,
reasoning, and other cognitive processes. Computational neuroscience of
information and language is of special interest, with existing or potential
applications to Artificial Intelligence.

TOPICS

The session invites contributions relevant to the following topics, without
limitations to them:

* Type theories for applications to language and information processing
* Computational grammar of natural language
* Computational semantics of natural languages
* Computational syntax-semantics interface
* Parsing
* Multilingual processing
* Large-scale grammars of natural languages
* Models of computation and algorithms for natural language processing
* Integration of interdisciplinary methods, e.g., formal, symbolic, model
theoretic, and other computational methods
* Computational models of partiality, underspecification, and
context-dependency
* Models of situations, contexts, and agents, for applications to language
processing
* Bio-information and natural language
* Language processing based on biological fundamentals of information and
languages
* Computational neuroscience of language

IMPORTANT DATES

* Paper Submission: November 17, 2014
* Authors Notification: November 24, 2014
* Camera Ready and Registration: December 3, 2014

PAPER SUBMISSION

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics
listed above.

system at: http://www.insticc.org/Primoris

PUBLICATIONS

All accepted papers will be published in a special section of the
conference proceedings book - under an ISBN reference and on CD-ROM support
- and submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings
Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP, EI (Elsevier Index) and Scopus.
SCITEPRESS is a member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/) and every
paper is given a DOI (Digital Object Identifier).

All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the
SCITEPRESS Digital Library.

A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and
extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in a
LNAI Series book.
