What is "Semantic, Logics, Information Extraction and AI"?

Traditionally, the study of information extraction, knowledge processing
and language processing is performed by computer scientists,
specializing in the application of computers to the processing of a
natural language and large structured or semi-structured data-bases.

Today, people working in information extraction, knowledge processing,
and particularly in language processing often work as members of
interdisciplinary teams, including linguists (specifically trained in
linguistics), language experts (persons with some level of ability in
the languages relevant to a given project), statisticians, and computer
scientists. In general, computational linguistics draws upon the
involvement of linguists, computer scientists, experts in artificial
intelligence, mathematicians, logicians, cognitive scientists, cognitive
psychologists, psycholinguists, anthropologists and neuroscientists,
among others.

Information extraction as part of knowledge processing and language
processing, as well, must become more connected to the cognitive
sciences through the development of cognitive semantic
theories. Information extraction as part of knowledge processing is
connected to artificial intelligence through the development of methods
and algorithms for all aspects of language analysis and their computer
implementation. We can see language analysis divided into two parts:
theoretical analysis and application. The theoretical aspect includes
standard areas studied in linguistics methods as semantics, syntax, and
morphology or numerical methods as those used in information retrieval
or text-mining. Semantic theories guide the development of lexical
theories, syntactic theories and morphology. Semantic theories can be
based on some specific features of computation, but at the present stage
of research, there is a gap between linguistic analysis and computer
applications in two senses: there are many computer applications without
linguistic theoretical support and, conversely, there are a number of
theoretical methods with no computer implementation. Semantic as part of
computational linguistic and language processing is very related to the
logic and to logics. If we accept the hypothesis that there is a logic
of language and logics of natural languages, the upstream of each
algorithm or method representing the basis of a AI system of language
analysis is a logic and a semantic. The downstream of semantic analysis
can be found in translation, automatic text generation and even
automatic annotation of texts or information retrieval. Generally, the
knowledge processing and particularly, the information extraction must
take into account this epistemological chain for to lead to effective,
robust and reliable systems.

What is the GOAL of the track?

This track is intended to present works ranking from logical,
mathematical, and statistical models in syntax and semantics (logic of
objects, topological theories of time and space, lexical associations,
etc.) as foundations of the design and analysis to knowledge processing
and natural language processing systems and especially to information
extraction.


Who might be interested?

Special tracks, held in parallel with the general conference, are an
integral part of the conference. They provide researchers in focused
areas the opportunity to meet and present their work, and offer a forum
for interaction among the broader community of artificial intelligence
researchers.

Topics of interest are in all areas related to artificial intelligence.

What kind of studies will be of interest?

Papers and contributions are encouraged for any work relating to
Semantic, Logics and Information Extraction in AI. Topics of interest
may include (but are in no way limited to):


1. Philosophy of language - new developments,
2. Cognitive semantics,
3. Logics of language,
4. Language modeling,
5. Computational linguistics (lexicology; morphology; syntax;
   semantics),
6. Information extraction,
7. Domain ontologies, linguistic ontologies,
8. Knowledge processing,
9.  Translation,
10. Text-mining.

Note: We invite original papers (i.e. work not previously submitted, in
submission, or to be submitted to another conference during the
reviewing process).

Invited Speaker : To be announced

Interested authors should format their papers according to AAAI
formatting
guidelines<http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php>. The
papers should be original work (i.e., not submitted, in submission, or
submitted to another conference while in review). Papers should not
exceed 6 pages (4 pages for a poster) and are due by November 17,
2014. For FLAIRS-28, the 2015 conference, the reviewing is a double
blind process. Fake author names and affiliations must be used on
submitted papers to provide double-blind reviewing. Papers must be
submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference system, which can be
accessed through the main conference web site
(http://www.flairs-28.info/). Note: do not use a fake name for your
EasyChair login - your EasyChair account information is hidden from
reviewers. Authors should indicate the [your track name] special track
for submissions. The proceedings of FLAIRS will be published by the
AAAI. Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a form
transferring copyright of their contribution to AAAI. FLAIRS requires
that there be at least one full author registration per paper.

Papers will be refereed and all accepted papers will appear in the
conference proceedings, which will be published by AAAI Press.
