Web Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information

Host Institution: Brandeis University
Website: https://www.brandeis.edu/nasslli2020/

Dates: 11-Jul-2020 - 17-Jul-2020
Location: Waltham, Massachusetts, USA

Focus: The first Web Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (WeSSLLI) is a fully virtual school replacing North American Summer School in Logic Language and Information in 2020. It will be a fully virtual school, with five classes and no parallel sessions.  The WeSSLLI Virtual Student Session, merged with ESSLLI Virtual Student Session, and the WeSSLLI courses and workshops will take place July 11-17, and the co-located Virtual SemDial (WatchDial) will follow on July 18-19.

The NASSLLI summer school has been providing outstanding interdisciplinary educational opportunities to graduate students and advanced undergraduates in the fields of Linguistics, Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Logic, Philosophy, and other related areas. NASSLLI, and now WeSSLLI, 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.

The organizing effort is lead by the Brandeis interdisciplinary programs in Linguistics and Computational Linguistics, in collaboration with the departments of Computer Science and Philosophy.

We hope to hold the next NASSLLI in the summer of 2021 at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts (in the Boston area).
