Full Title: 12th International Conference on Computational Semantics
Short Title: IWCS
Date: 19-Sep-2017 - 22-Sep-2017
Location: Montpellier, France
Contact Person: Christian Retoré

Web Site: http://www.lirmm.fr/iwcs2017
Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Semantics
Call Deadline: 15-Apr-2017
Meeting Description:
The aim of the IWCS conference is to bring together researchers interested in
the computation, annotation, extraction, and representation of meaning in
natural language, whether from a lexical or structural semantic perspective.
IWCS embraces both symbolic and statistical approaches to computational
semantics, and everything in between.
Topics of Interest:
The areas of interest for the conference include all computational aspects of
meaning of natural language within written, spoken, or multimodal
communication. Papers are invited on topics in these and closely related
areas, including the following:
- Representation of syntax-semantics interface
- Representing and resolving semantic ambiguity
- Shallow and deep semantic processing and reasoning
- Hybrid symbolic and statistical approaches to representing semantics
- Alternative approaches to compositional semantics
- Inference methods for computational semantics
- Recognizing textual entailment
- Deep learning and semantics
- Learning by reading
- Methodologies and practices for semantic annotation
- Machine learning of semantic structures
- Statistical semantics
- Computational aspects of lexical semantics
- Semantics and ontologies
- Semantic web and natural language processing
- Semantic aspects of language generation
- Semantic relations in discourse and dialogue
- Semantics and pragmatics of dialogue acts
- Multimodal and grounded approaches to computing meaning
- Semantics-pragmatics interface
Final Call for Papers:
12th International conference on Computational Semantics (IWCS)
University of Montpellier 19-22 September 2017
http://www.lirmm.fr/iwcs2017
Deadline: 15 April 2017
Two types of submissions are solicited:
Long papers:
Long papers should describe original research and must not exceed 10 pages,
references excluded. The program committee may accept as a short paper a paper
intially submitted as a long paper. Long papers will be published in the
conference proceedings and the ACL Anthology, and will have a full oral
presentation at the conference. When accepted as short papers they will be
offered the same publication and presentation possibilities as accepted short
papers.
Short papers:
Short papers typically are system descriptions with demonstration or project
descriptions, or ongoing research, and must not exceed 5 pages, references
excluded. Accepted short papers will be published in the conference
proceedings and the ACL Anthology, and will have a lightning talk at the
conference, followed by a poster/demo session for discussion.

- Submisssion: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwcs2017
- Deadline: 15 April 2017
A Remark on Dual Submission Papers that have been or will be submitted to
other meetings or publications must indicate this at submission time. Authors
of papers accepted for presentation at IWCS 2017 must notify the program
chairs by the camera-ready deadline as to whether the paper will be presented.
All accepted papers must be presented at the conference to appear in the
proceedings. We will not accept for publication or presentation papers that
overlap significantly in content or results with papers that have been or will
be published elsewhere.
Preprint servers such as arXiv.org and workshops without published proceedings
are not considered as prior publications for this purpose. Authors should
state in the online submission form the name of the workshop or preprint
server and title of any such non-archival version, so that reviewers can be
informed appropriately.
Please follow the information for authors for instructions on formatting your
paper. http://www.lirmm.fr/iwcs2017/iwcs_instructions.php
Papers should be electronically submitted in PDF format via easychair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwcs2017
There will be a separate call for papers for the IWCS workshops to be held on
Tuesday, September 19.
