Meeting Description:

Computational linguistics studies natural language in its various
manifestations from a computational point of view, both on the theoretical
level (modeling grammar modules dealing with natural language form and
meaning, and the relation between these two) and on the practical level
(developing applications for language and speech technology). Right from the
start in the 1950ties, there have been strong links with computer science and
logic - one can think of Chomsky's contributions to the theory of formal
languages and automata, or Lambek's logical modeling of natural language
syntax. The workshop assesses the place of computer science logic in present
day computational linguistics. It intends to be a forum for presenting new
results as well as work in progress.

Final Call for Papers:

The workshop focuses mainly on logical approaches to computational processing
of natural language, and on the applicability of methods and techniques from
the study of artificial languages (programming/logic) in computational
linguistics. We invite participation and submissions from other relevant
approaches too, especially if they can inspire new work and approaches.

The topics of LACompLing2017 include, but are not limited to:

- Computational theories of human language
- Computational syntax
- Computational semantics
- Computational syntax-semantics interface
- Interfaces between morphology, lexicon, syntax, semantics, speech, text,
pragmatics
- Computational grammar
- Logic and reasoning systems for linguistics
- Type theories for linguistics
- Models of computation and algorithms for linguistics
- Language processing
- Parsing algorithms
- Generation of language from semantic representations
- Large-scale grammars of natural languages
- Multilingual processing
- Data science in language processing
- Machine learning of language
- Interdisciplinary methods
- Integration of formal, computational, model theoretic, graphical,
diagrammatic, statistical, and other related methods
- Logic for information extraction or expression in written and spoken
language
- Language theories based on biological fundamentals of information and
languages
- Computational neuroscience of language
