FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
HPSG-2004
11th International Conference on
Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar
Centre for Computational Linguistics
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
3-6 August 2004
http://www.ccl.kuleuven.ac.be/hpsg2004/
The 11th International Conference on HPSG will take place in Belgium
on 3-6 August 2004, hosted by the Centre for Computational Linguistics
of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. The conference will include a
workshop on SEMANTICS in GRAMMAR ENGINEERING.
MAIN CONFERENCE (4-6 August 2004)
Abstracts are solicited for 30-minute presentations (followed by 10
minutes discussion) which address linguistic, foundational, or
computational issues relating to the framework of Head-Driven Phrase
Structure Grammar.
INVITED SPEAKERS
Jonathan Ginzburg
Henriette de Swart
WORKSHOP on SEMANTICS in GRAMMAR ENGINEERING (3 August 2004)
Semantic formalisms, such as Minimal Recursion Semantics (MRS),
Constraint Language for Lambda Structures (CLLS), and the LFG "Glue"
Semantics, among others, have been designed to meet the demands of
both theoretical linguistics and natural language processing. The aim of
the workshop is to provide a forum for the discussion of empirical and
formal approaches to semantics and the syntax-semantics interface in the
development of (large-scale) computational grammars.
INVITED SPEAKER
Ann Copestake
We solicit abstracts (for 30+10 minute presentations) focusing on:
-- the modeling and implementation of aspect, situation types, semantic
argument structure, semantic decomposition, word sense disambiguation,
anaphora resolution, etc.,
-- the use of semantic formalisms in grammars for applications such as
machine translation, information extraction, dialogue, etc.,
-- the relationship between semantic representation and disambiguation,
-- other themes relevant to the role of semantics in grammar
engineering.
SUBMISSION DETAILS
For both the main conference and the workshop,
we invite E-MAIL submissions of abstracts for presentations,
to consist of two parts
1) a separate information page in plain text format, containing
- author name(s)
- affiliation(s)
- e-mail and postal address(es)
- title of paper
2) an extended abstract of not more than 5 (five) pages, including all
figures and references. Abstracts should preferably be in PDF format.
All abstracts should be sent to
gosse at let.rug.nl
Abstracts for the main conference should mention 'HPSG-04' and abstracts
for the workshop should mention 'workshopHPSG-04' in the subject
line.
All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers.
Authors are asked to avoid self-references in the abstracts.
IMPORTANT DATES
Abstract submission deadline: February 15, 2004
Notification of acceptance: April 15, 2004
PUBLICATION
The results of the conference will be published on-line by CSLI
publications. A call for papers for contributions to the on-line
proceedings will be issued after the conference. On-line proceedings
