Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 01-Jun-2018 

Meeting Description:

Formal tools coming from logic and category theory are important in both
natural language semantics and in computational semantics. Moreover, work on
these tools borrows heavily from all areas of theoretical computer science. In
the other direction, applications having to do with natural language has
inspired developments on the formal side. The workshop invites papers on both
topics. Specific topics includes all areas of the computer science/linguistics
border.

Invited Speakers: 

Ann Copestake, University of Cambridge 

A workshop affiliated with Federated Logic Conference (FLoC) 2018 
Endorsed by the Association for Computational Linguistics Special Interest
Group on Computational Semantics. 

We are grateful to Jesus College, Oxford, for their support of our workshop. 


Call for Papers:

Fifth Workshop on Natural Language and Computer Science 
NLCS '18 
July 7-8, 2018

Formal tools coming from logic and category theory are important in both
natural language semantics and in computational semantics. Moreover, work on
these tools borrows heavily from all areas of theoretical computer science. In
the other direction, applications having to do with natural language has
inspired developments on the formal side. The workshop invites papers on both
topics. Specific topics includes, but are not limited to: 

- Logic for semantics of lexical items, sentences, discourse and dialog 
- Continuations in natural language semantics 
- Formal tools in textual inference, such as logics for natural language
inference 
- Applications of category theory in semantics 
- Linear logic in semantics 
- Formal approaches to unifying data-driven and declarative approaches to
semantics
