Meeting Description: 

Workshop in connection with the visiting period of Professor Martha Palmer at
the University of Florence

Exciting developments in distributional semantics are revolutionizing the
field of computational lexical semantics.  Current conferences abound in
approaches to word sense disambiguation and semantic role labeling that use
word embeddings and/or deep learning to present striking performance
improvements. 

Moreover, lexical resources are day by day increasing in the direction of a
multilingual and multimodal enrichment, creating ontologies which represent
lexical meaning integrating data from different languages with images and
videos. 

In this workshop, we wish to explore these recent advances in the context of
NLP tasks that rely directly on rich semantic representations, and that aim to
push the boundaries of our ability to reason with text-based inferences and
with a multimodal integrated perspective on the representation of lexical
meaning. 

Attendance to the workshop is free, however registration is appreciated to
arrange spaces and materials.
