Meeting Description:

ACL 2018 Workshop on
Cognitive Aspects of Computational Language Learning and Processing (CogACLL)

July 19, 2018
Melbourne, Australia

https://sites.google.com/view/cognitivews2018

Invited Speaker: Prof. Robert Berwick (MIT, USA)

This workshop is endorsed by SIGNLL, the Special Interest Group on Natural
Language Learning of the Association for Computational Linguistics.

This will be the eighth edition of related workshops, first held with ACL
2007, EACL 2009, EACL 2012 , EACL 2014, EMNLP 2015, ACL 2016 and as a
standalone event in 2013. The workshops aim to be a forum for the
interdisciplinary discussion of cognitive aspects of language acquisition,
processing and loss in normal and clinical conditions and to draw together
practitioners of  computational and cognitive communities to discuss common
long term goals, promote knowledge and resource sharing and possible
collaborations  between the communities. It has relevance for cognitive
sciences work in the fields of speech and language processing, machine
learning, artificial intelligence, linguistics, psycholinguistics, psychology,
etc.

Call for Papers:

ACL 2018 Workshop on
Cognitive Aspects of Computational Language Learning and Processing (CogACLL)

Deadline for Long Submissions: April 8, 2018 (11:59pm GMT -12)
Deadline for Short Paper Submissions and Demonstrations: April 15, 2018 
(11:59pm GMT -12)   

The best papers will be invited for submission to a special issue of Journal
on Natural Language Engineering. 

Papers are invited on, but not limited to, the following topics:

- Computational learning theory and analysis of language learning and
organization
- Computational models of first, second and bilingual language acquisition
- Computational models of sentences and discourse processing
- Computational modeling of factors that influence language acquisition and
use
- Physiologically realistic models linking language learning and use with
specific brain regions
- Computational models of the evolution of language
- Resources and tools for investigating models of human language processes
- Empirical and theoretical comparisons of the learning environment and its
impact on language processes
- Cognitively oriented neural network and Bayesian models of language
processes
- Computational methods for acquiring various linguistic information (related
to speech, lexicon, syntax and semantics) and  relevance to research on human
language acquisition
- Investigations and comparisons of supervised, unsupervised and
weakly-supervised methods for learning

We invite three different submission modalities:

- Regular long papers (8 content pages + 1 page for references): Long papers
should report on original, solid and finished research including new
experimental results, resources and/or techniques.

- Regular short papers (4 content pages + 1 page for references):Short papers
should report on small experiments, focused contributions, ongoing research,
negative results and/or philosophical discussion.

- Demonstration (2 pages): Resource and System demonstration papers should
describe and document the demonstrated system or resources. We encourage the
demonstration of both early research prototypes and mature systems, that will
be presented in a separate demo session. 

Submission and reviewing will be electronic, managed by the START system:

       https://www.softconf.com/acl2018/CogCL/  

Submissions must be uploaded onto the START system by the submission
deadlines:

Long Papers: April  8, 2018 (11:59pm GMT -12 hours)
Short Papers and Demonstrations: April  15, 2018 (11:59pm GMT -12 hours)

Important Dates:

April  8, 2018     Long Paper submission deadline
April  15, 2018   Short Paper and Demonstrations submission deadline
May   7,  2018    Notification of acceptance
