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.

Submission Deadline:

Authors must submit by 15th January; however, we will allow resubmission of
updated versions until 18 January. Please submit at least a sufficient
abstract to allow sensible reviewer assignment by the 15. See Instructions for
Authors https://sites.google.com/view/iwcs2019/instructions-for-authors for
full instructions.

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 Requirements

Three types of submission are solicited: long papers, student papers and short
papers. All types of papers should be submitted not later than 15 January,
2019.

Long papers should describe original research and must not exceed 10 pages
plus references. They will be published in the conference proceedings and in
the ACL Anthology, and will have a full oral presentation at the conference.

Student papers should describe original research but the first author must be
a student or at least 2/3 of the work on a paper should be completed by
students. Papers should not exceed 8 pages plus references. In contrast to
long papers, the reviewers will give special support to authors in terms of
mentoring and guidance. The papers will have a full oral presentation at the
conference in a special student session and will be published in the
conference proceedings and in the ACL Anthology.

Short papers (typically system or project descriptions, or ongoing research)
must not exceed 5 pages plus references. They will be published in the
conference proceedings and in the ACL Anthology, and will have a lightning
talk at the conference, followed by a poster/demo session for discussion.

Papers should be electronically submitted in PDF format via the EasyChair
system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwcs2019. Please make sure
that you select the right track when submitting your paper. Contact the
organisers if you have problems using EasyChair.

Please follow the information for authors for instructions on formatting your
paper, given on the conference webpage
