CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

'Towards a Formal Distributional Semantics' Workshop (TFDS)
Hosted by the Tenth International Conference on Computational Semantics
(IWCS)
University of Potsdam, Germany
March 19, 2013
http://clic.cimec.unitn.it/**roberto/IWCS-TFDS2013<http://clic.cimec.unitn.it/roberto/IWCS-TFDS2013>

The workshop aims to foster the integration of formal and distributional
semantics, building on their complementary strengths. Its focus is on
combining distributional representations with model-based theories in a way
that gives formal semantics a better handle on lexical semantics, while
still preserving the aspects of formal semantics that have made it useful
as a description of meaning in natural languages. From model-based
theories, we wish in particular to retain the tight syntax-semantics
interface for phenomena such as quantification, scope, modification and
semantic roles, the notions of truth and extension, and the modelling of
inference, at both the levels of lexical items and propositions. More
generally, the workshop is open to new ideas about aspects of meaning
beyond the level of truth values, and on how distributional semantics may
contribute to the notion of intension.
