CALL FOR PAPERS

The 7th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING AND
COGNITIVE SCIENCE
(NLPCS 2010), http://www.iceis.org/Workshops/nlpcs/nlpcs2010-cfp.htm

8-9th June 2010, Funchal Madeira, Portugal

Co-Chairs : Bernadette SHARP (1) and Michael ZOCK (2)
 (1) Staffordshire University, United Kingdom,b.sharp at staffs.ac.uk
 (2) CNRS - LIF, Marseille, France, michael.zock at lif.univ-mrs.fr

AIM OF THE WORKSHOP

The aim of this workshop is to foster interactions among researchers
and practitioners in Natural Language Processing (NLP) working within
the paradigm of Cognitive Science.  Research into NLP involves
concepts and methods from many fields including artificial
intelligence, linguistics, computational linguistics, statistics,
computer science, and most importantly cognitive science. Because it
is impossible to cover all aspects of NLP this workshop emphasises the
contribution of cognitive science to language processing, including
conceptualisation, representation, discourse processing, meaning
construction, ontology building, and text mining.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 - Cognitive and Psychological Models of NLP
 - Computational Models of NLP
 - Evolutionary NLP
 - Situated (embodied) NLP
 - Multimodality in speech / text processing
 - Text Summarization and Information Extraction
 - Natural Language Interfaces and Dialogue Systems
 - Multi-Lingual Processing
 - Pragmatics and NLP
 - Speech Processing
 - Tools and Resources in NLP
 - Ontologies
 - Text Mining
 - Electronic Dictionaries
 - Evaluation of NLP Systems

These topics can be addressed from any of the following perspectives:
full automation by machines for machine (traditional NLP or HLT),
semi-automated processing, i.e. machine-mediated processing (programs
assisting people in their tasks), simulation of human cognitive
process.

IMPORTANT DATES:

Regular Paper Submission: March 8, 2010
Authors Notification: April 6, 2010
Final Paper Submission and Registration: April 21, 2010

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS:

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for oral presentation
in any of the areas listed above. Only full papers in English will be
accepted, and the length of the paper should not exceed 12 pages (7000
words). Instructions for preparing the manuscript (in Word and Latex
format) are available at the ICEIS web site
http://www.iceis.org/Submission_Guidelines.htm. Postscript/RTF
versions of the manuscript should be submitted through ICEIS web-based
paper submission procedure.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Professor Patrick W. Hanks

WORKSHOP FORMAT

The workshop will comprise of invited talks and oral
presentations. The proceedings of the workshop will be published in
the form of a book.
