Meeting Description:

13th International Conference on Computational Semantics (IWCS) 
University of Gothenburg, Sweden
23-27th May 2019

IWCS is the bi-yearly meeting of SIGSEM [1], the ACL special interest group on
semantics [2]; this year's edition is hosted by the Centre of Linguistic
Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP) [3] at the Department of Philosophy,
Linguistics and Theory of Science (FLoV) [4] and will be held at the
Wallenberg Conference Centre of University of Gothenburg [5].

The aim of the IWCS conference is to bring together researchers interested in
any aspects of the computation, annotation, extraction, and representation of
meaning in natural language, whether from a lexical or structural semantic
perspective. IWCS embraces both symbolic and machine learning approaches to
computational semantics, and everything in between. The main conference will
be run from 25-27 May 2019, preceded by workshops on 23-24 May.


Call for Papers:

Paper submission deadline: 15 January, 2019

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 meaning 
- 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 
- recognising textual entailment 
- 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 

Submission Information:

Proposals for workshops should contain:

- A title and brief (2-page max) description of the workshop topic and
content.
- An estimate of the audience size

- The names, postal addresses, and email addresses of the organisers, with
one-paragraph statements of their research interests and areas of expertise.
- A list of potential members of the program committee, with an indication of
which members have already agreed.
- A description of special requirements for technical needs.

Proposals should be submitted by email to

iwcs2019 at easychair.org

as soon as possible, but no later than 10 November 2018.

After Acceptance:

Organisers of accepted workshops must provide descriptions of their workshops,
for inclusion in the conference registration material, by 5 January 2019. The
description must be provided in two formats: an ASCII version that can be
included with the email announcement, and an HTML version that can be included
on the conference home page. These descriptions should be mailed to:
iwcs2019 at easychair.org

The final workshop materials must be received by the IWCS organisers by 2 May
2019. This includes the detailed proceedings (camera-ready versions of
papers), which will be made available electronically, as well as a short
workshop program, which will be printed together with the main conference
program.

Finances:

Workshops must be financially self-supporting. The conference organisers will
establish registration rates so as to provide the room, audio-visual
equipment, internet access, snacks for breaks, and the workshop proceedings.

Important Dates:

10 November 2018: Workshop proposal submissions due
24 November 2018: Workshop proposal notification of acceptance
5 January 2019: Workshop description mailed to IWCS organisers
2 May 2019: Workshop material due to IWCS organisers
23-24 May 2019: Workshop date

Local Organisation:

Local Chairs: Stergios Chatzikyriakidis, Simon Dobnik
Workshops: Asad Sayeed
Student Track: Vlad Maraev and Kathrein Abu Kwaik
Hackathon: TBA
