Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Psycholinguistics 

Call Deadline: 03-Sep-2017 

Meeting Description:

This workshop provides a venue for work in computational psycholinguistics:
the computational and mathematical modeling of linguistic generalization,
development, and processing. 

This workshop provides a venue for work in computational psycholinguistics:
the computational and mathematical modeling of linguistic generalization,
development, and processing. We invite contributions that apply methods from
computational linguistics to problems in the cognitive modeling of any and all
natural language-related abilities. The 2018 workshop follows in the tradition
of earlier CMCL meetings at ACL 2010, ACL 2011, NAACL-HLT 2012, ACL 2013, ACL
2014, NAACL 2015 and EACL 2017.

CMCL 2018 will be co-located with the new Society for Computation in
Linguistics at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the Linguistic Society of America in
Salt Lake City, Utah.

Call for Papers: 

Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics (CMCL) 2018
https://cmclorg.github.io

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

Important Dates:

Submission deadline: 3 September 2017
Notification of acceptance: 1 October 2017
Camera-ready versions due: 1 November 2017
Workshop: 7 January 2018

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 and on both
learning and processing. We are interested in any papers that use NLP to model
human behavior, that use behavioral corpora to evaluate NLP, or that conduct
behavioral experiments to test the cognitive-plausibility of NLP model
predictions. Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Incremental parsers for diverse grammar formalisms
- Stochastic models of factors encouraging one production or interpretation
over its competitors
- Models of cognitively-plausible semantic or pragmatic interpretation and/or
composition
- Models of human language acquisition, including phonology, morphology,
syntax, and semantics
- Models of human language adaptation in a changing linguistic environment
- Quantitative measures of comprehension difficulty
- Models of generalization in language learning
- Development and evaluation of NLP systems using cognitive principles and
measurements (e.g. plausibility of different artificial neural network
architectures for human cognition)
- Models of linguistic information propagation and language change in
communication networks
- Psychologically motivated models of grammar induction or semantic learning

Submissions are especially welcomed that combine computational modeling work
with experimental or corpus data to test theoretical questions about the
nature of human language acquisition, comprehension, and/or production.

Submissions:

We solicit three categories of papers: regular workshop papers, extended
abstracts and cross-submissions. Only regular workshop papers will be included
in the proceedings as archival publications. All submissions should be in PDF
format submitted to our EasyChair page:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cmcl2018

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

Submissions are limited to 8 content pages (plus unlimited pages for
references) and should follow the two-column ACL format. We strongly recommend
the use of the official ACL 2017 style templates:

LaTeX: http://acl2017.org/downloads/acl17-latex.zip

Microsoft Word: http://acl2017.org/downloads/acl17-word.zip

If essentially identical papers are submitted to multiple conferences or
workshops, this fact must be indicated at submission time. Please do not
submit the same work to both CMCL and SCiL or to both LSA and SCiL - these
meetings are being held jointly, and your submission will be returned without
review.

The submission deadline is 11:59PM Pacific Time on September 3, 2017.
