Meeting Description:

Natural language understanding systems require a knowledge base
provided with formal representations reflecting the structure of human
beings' cognitive system. Although surface semantics can be sufficient
in some other systems, the construction of a robust knowledge base
guarantees its use in most natural language processing applications,
thus consolidating the concept of resource reuse. This conference
deals with meaning and knowledge representation in the context of
natural language understanding from the perspective of theoretical
linguistics, computational linguistics, cognitive science, knowledge
engineering, artificial intelligence, natural language processing,
text analytics or linked data and semantic web technologies.

Following the success of previous editions, the 10th International
Conference on Meaning and Knowledge Representation (MKR 2023) will
take place in Santiago (Chile), July 19, 20 and 21, 2023, organized by
the Faculty of Linguistics and Literature, Pontificia Universidad
Católica. In addition, the event will include a previous workshop, on
July 17 and 18, about topics related to knowledge representation and
natural language processing.

Call for Papers:

We invite 20-minute (plus 10-minute discussion) presentation proposals
on the following general and/or specific topics, in English or
Spanish. The MKR 2023 conference it’s a hybrid event, although
face-to-face proposals will be prioritized. Authors may submit more
than one abstract, but each conference participant will only be
allowed to present once. Co-authored works may be presented by any of
the participating co-authors.

General topics:
1.      At the crossroads between functionalist, cognitivist and/or
constructionist approaches.
2.      Division of labour of lexical semantics and constructional
semantics.
3.      Role of metaphor and metonymy and other cognitive operations
in meaning construction and grammar.
4.      Relationship between semantics, pragmatics, and discourse in
meaning construction and/or meaning representation.
5.      Cognitive modelling and construal.
6.      Linked data and semantic web technologies.
7.      Knowledge representation and conversational agents
8.      Artificial Intelligence and natural language processing (NLP)
9.      Functional-cognitive approaches to language aware software
10.     Human Language Technologies

5.      Parsing, NER, POS tagging
6.      Lexicon Application and Generation
7.      Lexical Constructional Model (LCM) and FunGramKB specific
topics
8.      Meaning construction and meaning representation in the LCM.
9.      Syntactic representation in the LCM.
10.     Connections between the LCM and FunGramKB.
11.     Lexico-grammatical knowledge in FunGramKB.
12.     Terminology in FunGramKB.
