North American Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
NASSLLI 2018
June 23 - 29 2018
Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh PA
 
The eighth North American Summer School for Logic, Language, and Information
(NASSLLI) will be hosted by Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, from
June 23 - June 29, 2018. The summer school is aimed at graduate students and
advanced undergraduates in the fields of Linguistics, Computer Science,
Cognitive Science, Logic, Philosophy, and other related areas. NASSLLI brings
these disciplines together with the goal of producing excellence in the study
of how minds and machines represent, communicate, manipulate and reason with
information. NASSLLI 2018 will consist of a series of courses and workshops,
most running daily from Monday June 25 - Friday June 29.  In addition, there
will be intensive training in a small set of foundational topics the weekend
prior to the start of courses (Saturday June 23 - Sunday June 24).

Call for Course and Workshop Proposals:

The due date for submissions has been extended October 9, 2017.
Decisions will be circulated on Dec. 1, 2017

We invite proposals for courses and workshops that address topics of relevance
to NASSLLI's central goal. Appropriate areas for courses include but are not
limited to: semantics; pragmatics; computational linguistics; cognitive
science; formal methodologies for the study of language and information;
methods for data collection and analysis; logic and its applications; game and
decision theory and their applications; formal epistemology. We particularly
encourage submissions which illustrate cross-disciplinary approaches,
especially courses showing the applicability of computational methods to
theoretical work, and the use of theoretical work in practical applications.
Courses involving a hands-on component (e.g. actual experience with NLP tools,
coding, or machine learning algorithms) will be very welcome. NASSLLI welcomes
a variety of approaches and methodologies (logics, cognitive and computational
modeling, machine learning, experimental approaches) as long as the material
is relevant to language, information or communication. All courses should be
accessible to a heterogeneous audience of motivated graduate students. By
default, courses and workshops meet for 90 minutes on each of five days.
Classes may be co-taught by up to two people. (See below for more information
on workshop organization.)

Workshop schedules are identical to course schedules, but usually consist of a
series of presentations by different researchers; they may also include panel
discussions. A workshop will be more accessible if its program is bracketed by
broader-audience talks that introduce and summarize the week's presentations.
Please note that NASSLLI cannot provide reimbursement for travel and
accommodation for workshop presenters. Workshop proposals must include
information about how the organizers expect these expenses to be covered.

Course and workshop proposals from women and underrepresented minorities are
particularly encouraged.

Submission Details:

Submissions should be submitted using EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nasslli2018

and should indicate:

- Person in charge of the workshop/course and affiliation(s).
- Type of event (bootcamp course, one week course or workshop).
- Course/workshop title.
- An outline of the course/workshop up to 500 words. 
- Special equipment (if any) needed to teach the course. 
- A statement about the instructor's experience in teaching (including in
interdisciplinary settings).
- Anticipated travel costs. 

Workshop proposals must include (a) acknowledgement of the organizers'
understanding that NASSLLI will not provide reimbursement for invited
participants and (b) an explanation of how these costs will be covered.
