SECOND CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
PRESENTATION
LACL'2014 is the 8th international conference on logical and formal
methods in computational linguistics. This conference addresses the
use of type theoretic, proof theoretic and model theoretic methods for
describing natural language syntax and semantics, as well as the
implementation of natural language processing software relying on such
models. It will be held at IRIT, Toulouse, France, from 18 to 20 June
2014 (with support from IRIT, Universit Paul Sabatier et INP de
Toulouse)
Scope:
Computer scientists, linguists, mathematicians and philosophers are
invited to present their work on the use of logical methods in
computational linguistics and natural language processing, in natural
language analysis, generation or acquisition.
Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not
limited to:
* logical foundation of syntactic formalisms
o categorial grammars
o minimalist grammars
o dependency grammars
o tree adjoining grammars
o model theoretic syntax
o formal language theory for natural language processing
o data-driven approaches
* logics for semantics of lexical items, sentences, discourse and dialog
o discourse theories
o Montague semantics
o compositionality
o dynamic logics
o game semantics
o situation semantics
o generative lexicon
o categorical semantics
* applications of these models to natural language processing
o software for natural language analysis
o software for acquiring linguistic resources
o software for natural language generation
o software for information extraction
o inference tasks
o evaluation
o scalability
