CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
6th ASIS SIG/CR Classification Research Workshop:
An interdisciplinary meeting
The American Society for Information Science Special Interest Group on
Classification Research (ASIS SIG/CR) invites submissions for the 6th
ASIS Classification Research Workshop, to be held at the 58th Annual
Meeting of ASIS in Chicago, IL. The workshop will take place Sunday,
October 8th, 1995, 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. ASIS '95 continues through
Thursday, October 12th.
The CR Workshop is designed to be an exchange of ideas among active
researchers with interests in the creation, development, management,
representation, display, comparison, compatibility, theory, and
application of classification schemes. Emphasis will be on semantic
classification, in contrast to statistically based schemes. Topics
include, but are not limited to:
- Warrant for concepts in classification schemes.
- Concept acquisition.
- Basis for semantic classes.
- Automated techniques to assist in creating classification schemes.
- Statistical techniques used for developing explicit semantic classes.
- Relations and their properties.
- Inheritance and subsumption.
- Knowledge representation schemes.
- Classification algorithms.
- Procedural knowledge in classification schemes.
- Reasoning with classification schemes.
- Software for management of classification schemes.
- Interfaces for displaying classification schemes.
- Data structures and programming languages for classification schemes.
- Image classification.
- Comparison and compatibility between classification schemes.
- Applications such as subject analysis, natural language understanding,
information retrieval, expert systems.
- Representation and access on the Internet
The CR Workshop welcomes submissions from various disciplines. Those
interested in participating are invited to submit a short (1-2 page
single-spaced) position paper summarizing substantive work that has been
conducted in the above areas or other areas related to semantic
classification schemes, and a statement briefly outlining the reason for
wanting to participate in the workshop. Submissions may include
background papers as attachments. Participation will be of two kinds:
presenter and regular participant. Those selected as presenters will be
invited to submit expanded versions of their position papers and to speak
to those papers in brief presentations during the workshop. Submitted
position papers will be refereed for acceptance for publication in the
proceedings. Some of the accepted papers will be selected for an
expanded version in the proceedings. Authors of expanded papers will be
invited to speak to their papers in brief presentations during the
workshop. All position papers (both expanded and short papers) will be
published in proceedings to be distributed prior to the workshop. The
workshop's early registration fee is $35.00 for SIG/CR members and/or
participants; $45.00 for ASIS members; $60.00 for non-members. (The
workshop is separate from the ASIS Annual, an additional registration is
required for the Annual Conference).
Previous proceedings are titled "Advances in Classification Research:
proceedings of the ... ASIS SIG/CR Classification Workshop" and are
published by Learned Information, Inc., Medford, NJ.
Submissions should be made by email, or diskette accompanied by paper
copy, or paper copy only (fax or postal), to arrive by April 15, 1995, to:
Ray Schwartz, 530 Jefferson St., #13, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030, USA

REMINDER FOR SUBMISSIONS AND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
COMPUTATIONAL LOGIC FOR NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING
A Joint COMPULOGNET/ELSNET/EAGLES Workshop
April 3-5, 1995
Edinburgh
Applications to Natural Language Processing have always been one of
the major driving forces for the development of computational
logics. Conversely, techniques devised for computational logics (and
Logic Programming in particular) have often given rise to elegant
solutions for representing and reasoning with linguistic knowledge.
However, there is a danger that questions of common interest to the
two areas are pursued independently and possibilities for cross-
fertilization are ignored.
In Europe, the Esprit Networks ELSNET and COMPULOGNET connect
researchers within the two areas of Natural Language Processing (NLP)
and Computational Logic (CL). The LRE Initiative EAGLES has one
Working Group especially concerned with linguistic formalisms. The
joint workshop of the two networks and EAGLES is intended as a forum
where NLP researchers point out open problems that are likely to
benefit from CL techniques and CL researchers present achievements
that have potential impact on NLP.
The following questions are examples where we think such a
cross-fertilization is possible:
- Can one model phenomena like presupposition and negation in natural
language in a computationally satisfactory way?
- Can non-monotonic systems of logic be adapted for applications of NLP
in areas such as belief modelling, rhetorical relations and
ellipsis?
- What kind of constraint languages are suitable for NL processing?
- Can attributive description logics developed in knowledge representation
be used to enhance the expressivity of grammars?
The workshop will consist of invited talks and presentations of
selected papers on logical processing of NLP and on CL research having
potential NL applications. Authors are invited to submit an extended
abstract (4-5 pages) no later than February 1, 1995.
