CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
COMPUTATIONAL LOGIC FOR NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING
A Joint COMPULOGNET/ELSNET/EAGLES Workshop
April 3-5, 1995
Edinburgh
Applications to Natural Language Processing have always been one of
the major driving forces for the development of computational
logics. Conversely, techniques devised for computational logics (and
Logic Programming in particular) have often given rise to elegant
solutions for representing and reasoning with linguistic knowledge.
However, there is a danger that questions of common interest to the
two areas are pursued independently and possibilities for cross-
fertilization are ignored.
In Europe, the Esprit Networks ELSNET and COMPULOGNET connect
researchers within the two areas of Natural Language Processing (NLP)
and Computational Logic (CL). The LRE Initiative EAGLES has one
Working Group especially concerned with linguistic formalisms. The
joint workshop of the two networks and EAGLES is intended as a forum
where NLP researchers point out open problems that are likely to
benefit from CL techniques and CL researchers present achievements
that have potential impact on NLP.
The following questions are examples where we think such a
cross-fertilization is possible:
- Can one model phenomena like presupposition and negation in natural
language in a computationally satisfactory way?
- Can non-monotonic systems of logic be adapted for applications of NLP
in areas such as belief modelling, rhetorical relations and
ellipsis?
- What kind of constraint languages are suitable for NL processing?
- Can attributive description logics developed in knowledge representation
be used to enhance the expressivity of grammars?
The workshop will consist of invited talks and presentations of
selected papers on logical processing of NLP and on CL research having
potential NL applications.
