Call Deadline: 01-Apr-2011 

Meeting Description:

This workshop provides a venue for work in computational 
psycholinguistics.  ACL Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Martin Kay 
described this topic as 'build[ing] models of language that reflect in some 
interesting way, on the ways in which people use language.'

The 2010 workshop follows in the tradition of several previous meetings:
(1) the computational psycholinguistics meeting at CogSci in Berkeley in 
1997
(2) the Incremental Parsing workshop at ACL 2004
(3) the first CMCL workshop at ACL 2010

in inviting contributions that apply methods from computational linguistics to 
problems in the cognitive modeling of any and all natural language abilities.

Scope and Topics

The workshop invites a broad spectrum of work in the cognitive science of 
language, at all levels of analysis from sounds to discourse. Topics include, 
but are not limited to

-incremental parsers for diverse grammar formalisms; models of 
comprehension difficulty derived from such parsers

-models of factors favoring particular productions or interpretations over 
their competitors

-models of semantic interpretation, including psychologically realistic notions 
of word and phrase meaning

-models of human language acquisition, including the prediction of 
generalizations and time course in acquisition

-applications of cognitive models of language, e.g., in tutoring systems, 
human evaluation, clinical and cognitive neuroscience settings 

Call For Papers

This call solicits 8-page, full papers reporting original and unpublished 
research that combines cognitive modeling and computational linguistics.  
Accepted papers are expected to be presented at the workshop and will be 
published in the workshop proceedings. They should emphasize obtained 
results rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of 
completion of the reported results.  A paper accepted for presentation at the
workshop must not be presented or have been presented at any other 
meeting with publicly available proceedings.  If essentially identical papers 
are submitted to other conferences or workshops as well, this fact must be 
indicated at submission time.

To facilitate double-blind reviewing, submitted paper should not include any 
identifying information about the authors.

Submissions must be formatted using ACL 2011 style files available at

http://www.acl2011.org/latex/
http://www.acl2011.org/word/

Contributions should be submitted in PDF via the submission site:

https://www.softconf.com/acl2011/CogModCL

The submission deadline is 11:59PM Eastern Time on April 01, 2011.

Pathway to Journal Publication

All accepted CMCL papers will be published in the workshop proceedings 
as is customary at ACL. However, CMCL presenters whose work holds 
broad interest for the wider cognitive science community will be encouraged 
to prepare extended versions of their papers (16 pages in APA format). If 
approved by a second round of reviewing, these extended papers will 
appear in a forthcoming issue of TopiCS, a Journal of the Cognitive Science 
Society, entitled entitled ''Models of Language Comprehension''.  These 
expanded papers will need to be substantially adapted to address the 
broader TopiCS readership. The Program Committee will be assisted by 
additional experts, as needed, to apply this and other review criteria.

Submission deadline: April 01, 2011
Notification of acceptance: April 25, 2011
Camera-ready versions due: May 06, 2011
