Paradigms and Grounding in Language Learning
Wednesday 21st and Thursday 22nd January
Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide
(part of the Australian NLP Fortnight)
(NOTE CORRECTED SUBMISSION ADDRESS)
This workshop is focussed on alternatives to the statistical and learning
methodologies based on tagged or bracketed corpora. Such
learning has the advantage that fast training can be performed and highly
effective systems can be developed for the type of text on
which it has trained and the grammatical formalism with which the corpus was
prepared. On the other hand, it has several
disadvantages: it assumes the very formalism which it is trying to learn, it
depends on statistics to choose between ambiguous parses, it
offers no opportunity to learn a grounded semantics.
This workshop is interested in techniques which automatically propose
segmentations, classifications and parses based on plain text or
speech corpora, whether syntactic, semantic, phonological or morphological.
We are particulary interested in language learning in
embedded environments where syntactic, semantic and pragmatic information can
be learned in a way comparable with the way in
which children learn language. We are also interested in theoretical issues
relating to the learning situation or paradigm, and
approaches which adopt an interdisciplinary approach using models from in
psycholinguistics or cognitive linguistics or cognitive
science.
Submissions should be in the ANLPF conference submission format and may be two
to four pages in length. All submissions will be reviewed. Longer papers
will be considered at the discretion of the organizers.
Papers should be submitted in final format in PostScript.
Topics may include but are not limited to:
Unsupervised paradigms language learning
Algorithms for unsupervised language learning
Statistical methods for unsupervised language learning
Self-organizing neural nets for language learning
Segmentation and Classification models
Grounded models of language and ontology
Learning or evolution/emergence of robot communication
Learning of taxonomies and semantic networks

EUROGP'98
FIRST EUROPEAN WORKSHOP ON GENETIC PROGRAMMING
PARIS, 14-15 April, 1998
Genetic Programming (GP) is a new branch of Evolutionary Computation
in which the structures in the population being evolved are computer
programs.
GP has been applied successfully to a large number of difficult
problems like automatic design, pattern recognition, robotic control,
synthesis of neural networks, symbolic regression, music and picture
generation, etc.
EUROGP'98 is the first event entirely devoted to Genetic Programming
to be held in Europe. The aims are to give European and non-European
researchers in the area of genetic programming as well as people from
industry an opportunity to present their latest research and discuss
current developments and applications. The event will be held, Tuesday
and Wednesday in the week following Easter, in the center of Paris,
Quartier Latin, a 5 minute walking distance from Notre-Dame.
The workshop is sponsored by the EvoNet, the European Network of
Excellence in Evolutionary Computation, and is one of the activities
of EvoGP, the working group on Genetic Programming of EvoNet. It will
be held in conjunction with EVOROBOT'98, the first European event on
evolutionary robotics, organised by EvoRob, the EvoNet working group
on Evolutionary Robotics. EVOROBOT'98 will be held on April 16-17 at
the same site as EUROGP'98.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Theoretical developments
Experimental results on performance and behaviour of GP runs
New algorithms, representations and operators
Novel applications of GP to real-life problems
Hybrid architectures including GP components
Comparisons with other machine learning or program-induction techniques
New libraries and implementations
Venue:
Ministere de l'Education Nationale, de l'Enseignement Superieur et
de la Recherche, 1 rue Descartes, Paris, France.
Submissions:
To submit, send your manuscript (max 10 A4 pages) to one of
the co-chairs, Wolfgang Banzhaf or Riccardo Poli, in PostScript
(preferably compressed and uuencoded) BY EMAIL (see addresses below)
not later than December 1, 1997. The papers will be peer reviewed
by at least two members of the program committee. Authors will be
notified via email on the results of the review by January 10, 1998.
The authors of accepted papers will have three weeks to improve their
paper on the basis of the reviewers' comments and will be asked to
send a camera ready version of their manuscripts in LNCS format (12
pages recommended, 15 pages max) by January 31st, 1998. The
papers accepted will appear in the workshop proceedings, published
by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, which
will be available at the workshop.
