Subject: Syntax of Predication
Workshop on Syntax of Predication (final call)
ZAS-Berlin, Nov. 2 (Fri.) - 3 (Sat.), 2001
Organized by the Project Group of Syntax of Predication, ZAS Berlin
Call for papers
This workshop is aimed to discuss the following theoretical issues in the
minimalist approach of generative grammar:
1. Is predication a syntactic relation (Rothstein 1992, Hale & Keyser 1997:
39, Bowers 2001, etc.) or not (Hornstein 2001)?
Relevantly, does syntax have a correlate of "lambda abstraction" such as
predicate operators, PrP (Bowers 1993, 2001), or/and some special
predicate-related features similar to or in contrast to case features of
arguments (Bailyn 2001, Adger & Ramchand 2001)? Even without these special
elements in computation, how is a predication relation licensed
syntactically (any (a)symmetric c-command and locality conditions? Cf.
Williams 1980)? Also, how syntactic operations interact with predication
(Moro 2000, 2001)?
2. How is non-primary predication different from primary predication
syntactically?
Relevantly, how are non-primary predicates integrated into the syntactic
structures of primary predication? What do the structural properties of
various types of non-primary predication constructions (depictive,
resultative, perceptional, epistemic verb constructions, mental attitude
verb constructions, etc.) tell us about the syntactic structures and
operations in general?
3. Considering the syntax of complex-predicate constructions, we also look
forward to discussion of notions of small clause, predication of event
subject (including Williams' (1985: 308) S-control), etc., and new
understanding of phenomena such as various types of argument-sharing,
parasitic gaps, serial verb constructions, and the Warlpiri-style
nonconfigurationality, which has been claimed to show properties of
depictive secondary predicate constructions (Speas 1990, Baker 2001, contra
Legate 2001), with respect to the basic principles of minimalist syntax.

Subject: Hybrid Intelligent Systems: HIS 2001
Dear Colleagues,
We have organised an exciting event: HIS'2001:
International Workshop on Hybrid Intelligent Systems
Venue: Adelaide, South Australia
Date: 11-12, December 2001
Workshop URL: http://his.hybridsystem.com
(Technically co-sponsored by The World Federation of Soft Computing)
HIS'01 is an International Workshop that brings together
researchers, developers, practitioners, and users of neural
networks, fuzzy inference systems, evolutionary algorithms
and conventional techniques. The aim of HIS'01 is to serve as
a forum to present current and future work as well as to
exchange research ideas in this field.
HIS'01 invites authors to submit their original and unpublished
work that demonstrate current research using hybrid computing
techniques and their applications in science, technology,
business and commercial.
Topics of interest include but not limited to:
Applications/techniques using the following, but not limited to:
* Machine learning techniques (supervised/unsupervised/
reinforcement learning)
* Artificial neural network and evolutionary algorithms
* Artificial neural network optimization using global optimization techniques
* Neural networks and fuzzy inference systems
* Fuzzy clustering algorithms optimized using evolutionary
algorithms
* Evolutionary computation (genetic algorithms, genetic
programming ,evolution strategies, grammatical evolution etc)
* Hybrid optimization techniques (simulated annealing, tabu
search, GRASP etc.)
* Hybrid computing using neural networks-fuzzy systems-
evolutionary algorithms
* Intelligent agents (architectures, environments, adaptation/learning
and knowledge management)
* Hybrid of soft computing and hard computing techniques
* Models using inductive logic programming, decomposition methods,
grammatical inference, case-based reasoning etc.
* Other intelligent techniques ( support vector machines,
rough sets, Bayesian networks, probabilistic reasoning,
minimum message length etc)
