Meeting Description:
Computational linguistics studies natural language in its various
manifestations from a computational point of view, both on the theoretical
level (modeling grammar modules dealing with natural language form and
meaning, and the relation between these two) and on the practical level
(developing applications for language and speech technology). Right from the
start in the 1950s, there have been strong links with computer science, logic,
and many areas of mathematics - one can think of Chomsky's contributions to
the theory of formal languages and automata, or Lambek's logical modeling of
natural language syntax. The symposium assesses the place of logic,
mathematics, and computer science in present day computational linguistics. It
intends to be a forum for presenting new results as well as work in progress.
SCOPE of LACompLing
The symposium focuses mainly on logical approaches to computational processing
of natural language, and on the applicability of methods and techniques from
the study of artificial languages (programming/logic) in computational
linguistics. We invite participation and submissions from other relevant
approaches too, especially if they can inspire new work and approaches.

The symposium focuses mainly on logical approaches to computational processing

The topics of LACompLing2021 include, but are not limited to:
- Computational theories of human language
- Computational syntax
- Computational semantics
- Computational syntax-semantics interface
- Interfaces between morphology, lexicon, syntax, semantics, speech, text,
pragmatics
- Computational grammar
- Logic and reasoning systems for linguistics
- Type theories for linguistics
- Models of computation and algorithms for linguistics
- Computational approaches of computational linguistics for domain specific
areas
- Language processing
- Parsing algorithms
- Generation of language from semantic representations
- Large-scale grammars of natural languages
- Multilingual processing
- Computational theories and systems of reasoning in natural language
- Data science in language processing
- Machine learning of language
- Interdisciplinary methods
- Integration of formal, computational, model theoretic, graphical,
diagrammatic, statistical, and other related methods
- Logic for information extraction or expression in written and / or spoken
language
- Language theories based on biological fundamentals of information and
languages
- Computational neuroscience of language
LACompLing2021 is especially interested in topics on the interconnections
between Logic, Language, and Argumentation, e.g.:
- Formal languages of reasoning and argumentation
- Algorithms related to natural language of argumentation - theories,
implementations, applications
- Formal models of argumentations
- Logic of preferences
- Beliefs, attitudes, persuasions - theories and applications
