FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

*** EXTENDED DEADLINE for 1000 word abstracts: NOW May 23, 2013 ***

Production of Referring Expressions: Bridging the gap between cognitive and
computational approaches to reference (PRE-CogSci 2013)

31 July 2013, Berlin, Germany.

Website: http://pre2013.uvt.nl/
Email: precogsci2013 at gmail.com

This workshop is organized as part of the 35th Annual Meeting of the
Cognitive Science Society (CogSci 2013), and is a follow-up to successful
workshops on the production of referring expressions in Amsterdam (
http://pre2009.uvt.nl) and Boston (http://pre2011.uvt.nl).

Invited speakers:

- Herb Clark (Stanford)
- Noah Goodman (Stanford)

Topics:

We invite submissions on all topics related to reference production, and
particularly encourage work that combines experimental, computational and
theoretical approaches. Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

- collaborative reference, referring expressions in interactive settings,
audience/recipient design
- non-determinism in reference production: how to algorithmically model
non-determinism and individual variation in human reference production?
- interaction between comprehension and production of referring expressions

- visual scene perception and its influence on the production of referring
expressions
- psychologically plausible computational models of reference production
- when and how do human speakers produce complex descriptions (e.g.,
plurals, quantified descriptions, relational descriptions)?
- vagueness: the use of vague (e.g. gradable) predicates in referring
expressions
- referential over- and underspecification: why and how do speakers produce
over- or underspecified descriptions?
- common ground, cooperativeness and shared/private information in
reference
- realization of referring expressions (including speech and gesture)
- how do social and contextual factors influence reference production
- data-collection and experimental evaluation method

Extended abstract submission:
Paper selection will be based on extended, 1000-word abstracts. The only
accepted format for submitted abstracts is PDF. Abstracts should be
submitted via EasyChair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=precogsci2013. Deadline: May
19, 2013

Final submission:
Upon acceptance, authors are invited to prepare a 4-6 page paper using the
CogSci author kit. Final versions need to be submitted as PDF. Papers will
be published in on line proceedings, and the authors retain the
copyrights. Deadline: July 15, 2013

Special issue:
Following previous issues of the PRE-Cogsci workshop, a Special Issue
was/is edited (PRE-CogSCi 2009: Topics in Cognitive Science. PRE-CogSCi
2011: Language and Cognitive Processes). Similar options are being
considered for the present issue of the workshop; one possibility currently
under discussion is a research topic for the Open Access journal Frontiers
in Psychology.

Financial support:
We gratefully acknowledge financial support from:
- the (Dutch) NWO-VICI project Bridging the gap between psycholinguistics
and computational linguistics: the case of Referring Expressions (Krahmer,
2009 – 2013),
- the (British) EPSRC project RefNet: An Interdisciplinary Network
Focussing on Reference, (Bard and van Deemter, 2012-2015), and
- the Cognitive Science society,

Satellite event:
RefNet plans to organize a cross-pollination meeting, probably on the day
before the PRE-CogSci 2013 workshop, in which researchers will interact
with practitioners in Human-Computer Interaction, Robotics, and
Geographical Information Systems, to discuss challenges involving reference
that come from real applications. More information about this event will be
made available in due course.
