*****************************************************
             Student Session - LACL'2005
     Logical Aspects of Computational Linguistics
*****************************************************
              Deadline : March 15, 2005

LACL'2005 is the 5th edition of a series of international conferences
on logical and formal methods in computational linguistics.  It
addresses in particular the use of proof theoretic and model theoretic
methods for describing natural language syntax and semantics, as well
as the implementation of natural language processing software relying
on such models.

*** STUDENT SESSION ***

For the first time, LACL'2005 will feature a student session.
Students (not having defended yet their PhD thesis or defending it in
2005) are invited to submit short papers (2 or 3 pages) on the same
topics as LACL.  Submitted papers may present only partial but
promising work.

This student session offers a good opportunity for students to
acquaint themselves with the world of research : digest writing
exercise, feedback from the program committee, oral presentation
exercise, feedback from LACL attendants.

Students whose articles will be selected for the student session will
benefit from reduced registration fees for the LACL conference.

*** PAPER SELECTION ***

Submitted articles will be reviewed by a program committee made of a a
group of experienced researcher as well as a group of chosen PhD
students.  Each article will be reviewed by at least one experienced
researcher and one of these PhD students.

*** PAPER PRESENTATION ***

Students whose papers will be selected will present their work in a
poster session at the LACL conference.  The papers will also be
grouped and edited as an INRIA research report.

*** TOPICS ***

Computer scientists, linguists, mathematicians and philosophers are
invited to present their work on the use of logical methods in
computational linguistics and natural language processing, in natural
language analysis, generation or acquisition.

  * LOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF SYNTACTIC FORMALISMS:
     - categorial grammars,
     - minimalist grammars,
     - dependency grammars,
     - tree adjoining grammars,
     - model theoretic syntax,
     - formal language theory for natural language processing,
     - data-driven approaches,
  * LOGIC FOR SEMANTICS OF LEXICAL ITEMS, SENTENCES, DISCOURSE
    AND DIALOG:
     - discourse representation theory,
     - Montague semantics,
     - compositionality,
     - dynamic logic,
     - game semantics,
     - situation semantics,
     - generative lexicon,
  * APPLICATIONS OF THESE MODELS TO NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING:
     - software for natural language analysis,
     - software for acquiring linguistic resources,
     - software for natural language generation,
     - software for information extraction,
     - question answering and human computer interaction in
       natural language,
     - evaluation and scalability

*** SUBMISSION FORMAT ***

Papers are be 2 to 3 pages long, including bibliography and possible
figures and appendices.  Articles, in PDF format, should be sent by
email to lacl at labri.fr, with the keywords "student session" in the
mail subject.

*** IMPORTANT DATES ***

- Paper submission deadline : March 15th, 2005
- Notification of acceptance : March 31st, 2005
- Camera-ready papers due : April 15th, 2005
- Student session : during LACL (April 28-30th, 2005)

committee, group of chosen PhD students (in the course of being
defined).

*** ORGANIZING COMMITTEE ***
