THE SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL
ISSUES IN MACHINE TRANSLATION (TMI95)
July 5-7 1995
University of Leuven
Centre for Computational Linguistics
Leuven, Belgium
The Sixth International Conference on Theoretical and
Methodological Issues in Machine Translation (TMI95) will be held
from July 5 to 7 1995 at the University of Leuven, Belgium. It
will precede the Fifth edition of the MT Summit, hosted by the EC
in Luxembourg from July 10 to 14.
TMI95 will focus on three major topics: computational semantics
for MT, MT of spoken language, and the use of
sublanguage/controlled language for MT.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
Perhaps the most famous criticism of traditional Artificial
Intelligence is that computer programs use symbols that are
arbitrarily interpretable (see Searle, 1980 for the Chinese Room and
Harnad, 1990 for the symbol grounding problem). We could, for example,
use the word "apple" to mean anything from a "common fruit" to a
"pig's nose". All the computer knows is the relationship between this
symbol the others that we have given it. The question is, how is it
possible to move from this notion of meaning, as the relationship
between arbitrary symbols, to a notion of "intrinsic" meaning. In
other words, how do we provide meaning by grounding computer symbols
or representations in the physical world?
The aim of this colloquium is to take a broad look at many of the
important issues in relating machine intelligence to the world and to
make accessible some of the most recent research in integrating
information from different modalities. For example, why is it
important to have symbol or representation grounding and what is the
role of the emerging neural network technology?
One approach has been to link intelligence to the sensory world
through visual systems or robotic devices such as MURPHY. Another
approach is work on systems that integrate information from different
modalities such as vision and language. Yet another approach has been
to examine how the human brain relates sensory, motor and other
information. It looks like we may be at long last getting a handle on
the age old CHINESE ROOM and SYMBOL GROUNDING problems. Hence this
colloquium has as its focus, "grounding representations.
The colloquium will occur over one day and will focus on three themes:
(1) Biology and development; (2) Computational models and (3) Symbol
grounding.
The target audience of this colloquium will include Engineers and
Scientists in Neural Networks and Artificial Intelligence,
Developmental Psychologists, Cognitive Scientists, Philosophers of
mind, Biologists and all of those interested in the application of
Artificial Intelligence to real world problems.
