[Corpora-List] DEADLINE EXTENDED: Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics CMCL 2012

[David Reitter]

Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics (CMCL-2012)

A workshop to be held June 7, 2012
at the North American Association for Computational Linguistics meeting (NAACL-HLT) 
in Montreal, Quebec


        http://www.psy.cmu.edu/~cmcl/


Submission deadline: 30 March 2012  *EXTENDED DEADLINE!*


FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

Workshop Description

This workshop provides a venue for work in computational
psycholinguistics. ACL Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Martin Kay
described this topic as "build[ing] models of language that reflect in
some interesting way on the ways in which people use language." The
2012 workshop follows in the tradition of several previous meetings:

	•  the computational psycholinguistics meeting at CogSci in Berkeley in 1997
	•  the Incremental Parsing workshop at ACL 2004
	•  the first two CMCL workshops at ACL 2010 and ACL 2011

in inviting contributions that apply methods from computational
linguistics to problems in the cognitive modeling of any and all
natural language abilities.

The workshop is sponsored by the Association for Computational Linguistics 
and the Cognitive Science Society.


Scope and Topics

The workshop invites a broad spectrum of work in the cognitive science
of language, at all levels of analysis from sounds to
discourse. Topics include, but are not limited to

	• incremental parsers for diverse grammar formalisms
	• derivations of comprehension difficulty predictions, or
       predictions regarding generalization in language learning
	• stochastic models of factors encouraging one production or
       interpretation over its competitors
	• models of semantic interpretation, including psychologically
       realistic notions of word meaning, phrase meaning, and
       composition
	• models and empirical analysis of the relationship between
       mechanistic psycholinguistic principles and pragmatic or
       semantic adaptation, usually in dialogue
	• models of human language acquisition
	• models of linguistic information propagation and language
       evolution in communication networks


Submissions

This call solicits full papers reporting original and unpublished
research that combines cognitive modeling and computational
linguistics. Accepted papers are expected to be presented at the
workshop and will be published in the workshop proceedings. They
should emphasize obtained results rather than intended work, and
should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported
results. A paper accepted for presentation at the workshop must not be
presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly
available proceedings. If essentially identical papers are submitted
to other conferences or workshops as well, this fact must be indicated
at submission time. No submission should be longer than necessary, up
to a maximum 8 pages plus two additional pages containing references.

To facilitate double-blind reviewing, submitted manuscripts should not
include any identifying information about the authors.

Submissions must be formatted using NAACL 2012 style files available at

	    http://www.naaclhlt2012.org/conference/conference.php

Contributions should be submitted in PDF via the submission site:

	   http://www.psy.cmu.edu/~cmcl/submit

The submission deadline is 11:59PM Eastern Time on March 30, 2012.  
We have extended the deadline in response to popular demand.


Best Student Paper

The best paper whose first author is a student will receive the 
Best Student Paper award, sponsored by the Cognitive Science Society.  
The award includes a one-year membership to the society and a cash prize.


Publication

All accepted CMCL papers will be published in the workshop proceedings
as is customary at ACL conferences.
