Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics

Call Deadline: 15-Mar-2005

Meeting Description:

LACL'2005 is the 5th edition of a series of international conferences on
logical and formal methods in computational linguistics. It addresses in
particular the use of proof theoretic and model theoretic methods for
describing natural language syntax and semantics, as well as the
implementation of natural language processing software relying on such models.

For the first time, LACL'2005 will feature a student session. Students (not
having defended yet their PhD thesis or defending it in 2005) are invited
to submit short papers (2 or 3 pages) on the same topics as LACL. Submitted
papers may present only partial but promising work.

Call for papers

Student Session - LACL'2005
Logical Aspects of Computational Linguistics

Deadline : March 15, 2005

LACL'2005 is the 5th edition of a series of international conferences on
logical and formal methods in computational linguistics.  It addresses in
particular the use of proof theoretic and model theoretic methods for
describing natural language syntax and semantics, as well as the
implementation of natural language processing software relying on such models.

STUDENT SESSION

For the first time, LACL'2005 will feature a student session. Students (not
having defended yet their PhD thesis or defending it in 2005) are invited
to submit short papers (2 or 3 pages) on the same topics as LACL.
Submitted papers may present only partial but promising work.

This student session offers a good opportunity for students to acquaint
themselves with the world of research : digest writing exercise, feedback
from the program committee, oral presentation exercise, feedback from LACL
attendants.

Students whose articles will be selected for the student session will
benefit from reduced registration fees for the LACL conference.

PAPER SELECTION

Submitted articles will be reviewed by a program committee made of a a
group of experienced researcher as well as a group of chosen PhD students.
 Each article will be reviewed by at least one experienced researcher and
one of these PhD students.

PAPER PRESENTATION

Students whose papers will be selected will present their work in a poster
session at the LACL conference.  The papers will also be grouped and edited
as an INRIA research report.

TOPICS

Computer scientists, linguists, mathematicians and philosophers are invited
to present their work on the use of logical methods in computational
linguistics and natural language processing, in natural language analysis,
generation or acquisition.

 * LOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF SYNTACTIC FORMALISMS:
    - categorial grammars,
    - minimalist grammars,
    - dependency grammars,
    - tree adjoining grammars,
    - model theoretic syntax,
    - formal language theory for natural language processing,
    - data-driven approaches,
 * LOGIC FOR SEMANTICS OF LEXICAL ITEMS, SENTENCES, DISCOURSE
   AND DIALOG:
    - discourse representation theory,
    - Montague semantics,
    - compositionality,
    - dynamic logic,
    - game semantics,
    - situation semantics,
    - generative lexicon,
 * APPLICATIONS OF THESE MODELS TO NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING:
    - software for natural language analysis,
    - software for acquiring linguistic resources,
    - software for natural language generation,
    - software for information extraction,
    - question answering and human computer interaction in
      natural language,
    - evaluation and scalability

SUBMISSION FORMAT

Papers are be 2 to 3 pages long, including bibliography and possible
figures and appendices.  Articles, in PDF format, should be sent by email
to lacl at labri.fr, with the keywords ''student session'' in the mail subject.
