Meeting Description:

***As NASSLLI 2020 has been moved to 2021, the NASSLLI 2020 Student Session
has been postponed accordingly. Instead, a Virtual Student Session will be
held during the Web Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information
(WeSSLLI) in 2020.*** 

The Web Summer School for Logic, Language, and Information (WeSSLLI) presents
a cross-disciplinary perspective on how information is represented,
communicated, and manipulated by human minds and by machines. WeSSLLI
represents a community that recognizes that advances in modeling and analyzing
the performance of these tasks, as well as automating them, require the
contributions of multiple interrelated disciplines.

  A Virtual Student Session will be held during the WeSSLLI 2020 summer
school, consisting of a series of talks during the weekend of July 11 - July
12, immediately preceding WeSSLLI courses. The Virtual Student Session
provides students the opportunity to present their own research in a setting
where they can receive feedback from peers and established researchers.

Call for Papers: 

***Please note that the submission link in our recent call for papers,
https://linguistlist.org/issues/31/31-1488.html, is incorrect. The correct one
is: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wesslli2020vss***

EXCITING NEWS! The ESSLLI 2020 Student Session
(https://www.esslli.eu/programme/student-session.html) will merge with the
WeSSLLI 2020 Virtual Student Session (except for the reviewing process). The
authors whose submissions are accepted to the WeSSLLI Virtual Student Session
now have the opportunity to publish their work in a special Springer volume
together with the best papers of the ESSLLI Student Sessions 2019 and 2020.
Authors may also be interested in the ESSLLI Student Session if they prefer to
submit a 4-page or 8-page paper rather than a 2-page abstract. See submission
details for more information.

====================

Graduate and advanced undergraduate students* are invited to submit abstracts
of no more than two pages in any of the fields related to the school,
including but not limited to:
+ semantics
+ pragmatics
+ computational linguistics
+ cognitive science
+ formal methodologies for the study of language and information, including
methods for data collection and analysis for any subfield of linguistics
(e.g., syntax, phonology, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, etc.)
+ logic and its applications
+ game and decision theory and their applications
+ formal epistemology
+ philosophy of language
+ philosophy of mind

Abstracts should represent original and unpublished work (or works in
progress). All co-authors must be students and no one should be the first (or
sole) author on more than one submission, or a co-author on more than two
submissions. Minorities, women, and students from underrepresented groups are
especially encouraged to apply.

* That is, individuals enrolled in an academic program in 2020 who will not
have been awarded their Ph.D. by the time of the summer school.

SUBMISSION DETAILS:
Submission link (corrected):
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wesslli2020vss

Abstract requirements:
+ File Format: pdf
+ Length: up to 2 pages (US Letter), including figures, tables, references
+ Margins: 1-in, one column
+ Font: 12pt Times New Roman (including figures, tables, references)

process)

Submission deadline: May 4, 2020, 11:59pm AOE (anywhere on Earth,
UTC-12)
Notification of acceptance: June 5, 2020

As the ESSLLI and WeSSLLI student sessions now have the same submission
deadline, authors may be interested in the ESSLLI Student Session if they
prefer to submit a 4-page or 8-page paper (see details on the ESSLLI Student
Session web page) rather than a 2-page abstract.

The authors whose abstracts are accepted to the WeSSLLI Virtual Student
Session will have a chance to win a poster prize, a Springer book voucher,
originally offered to ESSLLI Student Session by Springer. They are also
welcome to submit a revised, extended up-to-12-page paper after their
acceptance, which will get published in the ESSLLI Student Session's online
proceedings. The best papers may be eligible for publication a special
Springer volume in the LNCS series together with the best papers of the
Student Sessions 2019 and 2020.

The author(s) of each accepted submission will be given a dedicated web space
to present the content however they like (e.g. attach downloadable files,
create web pages to represent text, tables, formulas, graphics, slides and/or
videos). During the Virtual Student Session, authors of accepted submissions
can interact with the audience both synchronously (via Zoom) and
asynchronously (via comments within their web spaces). Detailed instructions
and technical support will be provided after the notification of acceptance.
