Subject: Cognitively Plausible Models of Semantic Processing
Final Call for Participation
SEMPRO-2001: COGNITIVELY PLAUSIBLE MODELS OF SEMANTIC PROCESSING
(A workshop in conjunction with the Annual Meeting of the
Cognitive Science Society)
July 31st, University of Edinburgh
http://www.hcrc.ed.ac.uk/~sempro/
The goal of this workshop is to be a forum and a meeting point for researchers
developing models of semantic / pragmatic processing (computational and
non-computational) motivated by psychological evidence or corpus studies, with
a focus on human language processing. This year's workshop will feature
papers on:
- incrementality and underspecification in semantic processing
- lexical access and disambiguation
- anaphora resolution
- scope assignment
We would especially like to encourage the exchange of results between
psychological experimentation, computational modelling, and
corpus-based work.
INVITED SPEAKERS: Julie Sedivy (Brown), Tony Sanford (Glasgow).
ACCEPTED PAPERS:
the workshop will include both presentations and a poster session. A
preliminary list of accepted papers is available at
http://www.hcrc.ed.ac.uk/~sempro/program.html
REGISTRATION:
The registration fee will be £40 for regular participants and £20 for
students. (The fee covers coffee breaks, lunch and a copy of the
proceedings.) The preferred form of registration is to complete the
