CALL FOR PAPERS

Natural Language Processing in Artificial Intelligence - NLPinAI 2020
22 - 24 February 2020 - Valletta, Malta

Special Session within the 12th International Conference on Agents and
Artificial Intelligence - ICAART 2020
http://www.icaart.org

-------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE
Computational and technological developments that incorporate natural
language are proliferating. Adequate coverage encounters difficult problems
related to partiality, underspecification, and context-dependency, which
are signature features of information in nature and natural languages.
Furthermore, agents (humans or computational systems) are information
conveyors, interpreters, or participate as components of informational
content. Generally, language processing depends on agents' knowledge,
reasoning, perspectives, and interactions.

The session covers theoretical work, applications, approaches, and
techniques for computational models of information and its presentation by
language (artificial, human, or natural in other ways). The goal is to
promote intelligent natural language processing and related models of
thought, mental states, reasoning, and other cognitive processes.

TOPICS
We invite contributions relevant to the following topics, without being
limited to them:

- Type theories for applications to language and information processing
- Computational grammar
- Computational syntax
- Computational semantics of natural languages
- Computational syntax-semantics interface
- Interfaces between morphology, lexicon, syntax, semantics, speech, text,
pragmatics
- Parsing
- Multilingual processing
- Large-scale grammars of natural languages
- Interfaces between morphology, lexicon, syntax, semantics, speech, text,
pragmatics
- Models of computation and algorithms for natural language processing
- Computational models of partiality, underspecification, and
context-dependency
- Models of situations, contexts, and agents, for applications to language
processing
- Information about space and time in language models and processing
- Models of computation and algorithms for linguistics
- Data science in language processing
- Machine learning of language
- Interdisciplinary methods
- Integration of formal, computational, model theoretic, graphical,
diagrammatic, statistical, and other related methods
- Logic for information extraction or expression in written and spoken
language
- Language processing based on biological fundamentals of information and
languages
- Computational neuroscience of language
