TENTH WORKSHOP ON THE SEMANTICS AND PRAGMATICS OF DIALOGUE (SEMDIAL)
Potsdam (Germany)
September 11-13 2006
brandial06 will be the tenth in a series of workshops that aims to
bring together researchers working on the semantics and pragmatics of
dialogues in fields such as artificial intelligence, formal semantics
and pragmatics, computational linguistics, philosophy, and psychology.
The SemDial conferences are always stimulating and fun, and
Potsdam/Berlin is a great place to visit.
INVITED SPEAKERS:
- James Allen (University of Rochester, USA)
- Elisabeth Andre (University of Augsburg, Germany)
- Manfred Krifka (Humboldt University and ZAS, Germany)
- Emanuel Schegloff (University of California LA, USA)
SUBMISSIONS:
We invite papers on all topics related to the semantics and
pragmatics of dialogues, including, but not limited to:
- models of common ground/mutual belief in communication
- modelling agents' information states and how they get updated
- multi-agent models and turn-taking
- goals, intentions and commitments in communication
- semantic interpretation in dialogues
- reference in dialogues
- ellipsis resolution in dialogues
- dialogue and discourse structure
- interpretation of questions and answers
- nonlinguistic interaction in communication
- natural language understanding and reasoning in spoken dialogue systems
- multimodal dialogue systems
- dialogue management in practical implementations
- categorisation of dialogue moves or speech acts in corpora
- designing and evaluating dialogue systems
For the first time, we will have a special session (one afternoon), on
** Visual Attention and References to the Visual Situation **
separately reviewed and chaired by Massimo Poesio (University of
Essex) and Hannes Rieser (Universitaet Bielefeld). Topics of interest
include (but are not limited to): linguistic and philosophical studies
of deixis; eye-tracking studies of reference resolution in situated
language use; and computational models of deictic references and
reference interpretation. As always, especially encouraged are
interdisciplinary submissions, e.g., providing a sound theoretical
analysis based on solid empirical evidence. The Programme Committe
for this session includes John Kelleher (Dublin Institute of Technology)
and Geert-Jan Kruijff (DFKI, Saarbruecken). More PC members TBA.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Authors should submit an *anonymous* paper of at most 8 pages (for
talks with a duration of 25' plus 10' discussion) via the web-site
