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.


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
