Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 23-Nov-2015 

Meeting Description:

Computational and technological developments that incorporate natural language are proliferating. Adequate coverage encounters difficult problems related to partiality, underspecification, and context-dependency, which are signature features of information in nature and natural languages. Furthermore, agents (humans or computational systems) can participate in informational content, or influence its flow as information conveyors and interpreters.

The session covers theoretical work, advanced applications, approaches, and techniques for computational models of information and its presentation by language (artificial, human, or natural in other ways). The goal is to promote intelligent natural language processing and related models of thought, mental states, reasoning, and other cognitive processes.

2nd Call for Papers:

The session invites contributions relevant to the following topics, without limitations to them:

- Type theories for applications to language and information processing
- Computational grammar
- Computational semantics
- Computational syntax-semantics interface
- Parsing
- Multilingual processing
- Large-scale grammars of natural languages
- Models of computation and algorithms for natural language processing
- Integration of interdisciplinary methods, e.g., formal, computational, model theoretic, graphical, diagrammatic, statistical, and other related methods
- Computational models of partiality, underspecification, and context-dependency
- Models of situations, contexts, and agents, for applications to language processing
- Bio-information and natural language
- Language processing based on biological fundamentals of information and languages
- Computational neuroscience of language

Important Dates:

- Paper submission: November 23, 2015
- Authors notification: December 9, 2015
- Camera ready and registration: December 17, 2015

Paper Submission:

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the topics listed above.

Instructions for preparing the manuscripts (in Word and Latex formats) are available at ICAART 2016 website (http://www.icaart.org/). Please, check the page Guidelines and Templates:

Papers should be submitted electronically via the web-based submission system at: http://www.insticc.org/Primoris

Publications: 

The publication rules for PUaNLP are the same as for ICAART conference. Regular Papers classified as Full Papers will be assigned a 12-page limit in the Conference Proceedings, while Regular Papers classified as Short Papers have an 8-page limit.
