Subject: 7th International Conference on Meaning and Knowledge Representation

 
Full Title: 7th International Conference on Meaning and Knowledge Representation 
Short Title: MKR2018 

Date: 04-Jul-2018 - 06-Jul-2018
Location: Dublin, Ireland 
Contact Person: Brian Nolan
Meeting Email: mkr2018Dublin at gmail.com
Web Site: http://www.fungramkb.com/events/2018/index.html 

Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics; Linguistic Theories; Semantics 

Call Deadline: 18-Mar-2018 

Meeting Description:

Natural language understanding systems require a knowledge base provided with
formal representations reflecting the structure of human beings' cognitive
system. Although surface semantics can be sufficient in some other systems,
the construction of a robust knowledge base guarantees its use in most natural
language processing applications, thus consolidating the concept of resource
reuse. 

This conference deals with meaning and knowledge representation in the context
of natural language understanding from the perspective of theoretical
linguistics, computational linguistics, cognitive science, knowledge
engineering, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, text
analytics or linked data and semantic web technologies.

Following the success of previous editions, the Seventh International
Conference on Meaning and Knowledge Representation will take place in
Blanchardstown (Ireland), July 4, 5 and 6, 2018, organized by ITB (Institute
of Technology Blanchardstown, Dublin. Ireland).
