IWCS 2017: Computational Semantics

19-22 Sep 2017
Montpellier, France

12th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTATIONAL SEMANTICS (IWCS)
University of Montpellier 19-22 September 2017
http://www.lirmm.fr/iwcs2017

LAST CALL FOR PAPERS

Long and short paper submission deadline: 15 April 2017

The aim of the IWCS conference is to bring together researchers interested 
in the computation, annotation, extraction, and representation of meaning 
in natural language, whether from a lexical or structural semantic 
perspective. IWCS embraces both symbolic and statistical approaches to 
computational semantics, and everything in between.

This year the IWCS conference takes place in Montpellier, the 8th largest 
French city, nearby the Mediterranean Sea, with the oldest faculty of 
medicine of the Western World.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

The areas of interest for the conference include all computational aspects 
of meaning of natural language within written, spoken, or multimodal 
communication. Papers are invited on topics in these and closely related 
areas, including the following:

 	? representation of meaning
 	? syntax-semantics interface
 	? representing and resolving semantic ambiguity
 	? shallow and deep semantic processing and reasoning
 	? hybrid symbolic and statistical approaches to representing semantics
 	? alternative approaches to compositional semantics
 	? inference methods for computational semantics
 	? recognizing textual entailment
 	? deep learning and semantics
 	? learning by reading
 	? methodologies and practices for semantic annotation
 	? machine learning of semantic structures
 	? statistical semantics
 	? computational aspects of lexical semantics
 	? semantics and ontologies
 	? semantic web and natural language processing
 	? semantic aspects of language generation
 	? semantic relations in discourse and dialogue
 	? semantics and pragmatics of dialogue acts
 	? multimodal and grounded approaches to computing meaning
 	? semantics-pragmatics interface

SUBMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS

Two types of submission are solicited:

Long papers:

 	? formatting instructions  http://www.lirmm.fr/iwcs2017/iwcs_instructions.php
 	? submisssion: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwcs2017
 	? deadline 15 april 2017
Long papers should describe original research and must not exceed 10 pages references excluded ? see formatting instructions. The program committee may accept as a short paper a  paper intially submitted as a long paper if the committee thinks it is better suited. When fully accepted, long papers  will be published in the conference proceedings and in the ACL Anthology, and will have a full oral presentation at the conference. When accepted as short papers they will be offered the same publication and presentation possibilities as accepted short papers.

Short papers

 	? formatting instructions  http://www.lirmm.fr/iwcs2017/iwcs_instructions.php
 	? submisssion: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwcs2017
 	? deadline 15 april 2017
Short papers typically are system description with demonstration or project descriptions, or ongoing research and  must not exceed 5 pages references excluded ? see formatting instructions. Accepted  short papers will be published in the conference proceedings and in the ACL Anthology, and will have a lightning talk at the conference, followed by a poster/demo session for discussion.



A REMARK ON DUAL SUBMISSION PAPERS that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or publications must indicate this at submission time. Authors of papers accepted for presentation at IWCS 2017 must notify the program chairs by the camera-ready deadline as to whether the paper will be presented. All accepted papers must be presented at the conference to appear in the proceedings. We will not accept for publication or presentation papers that overlap significantly in content or results with papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere.

Preprint servers such as arXiv.org or HAL and workshops without published proceedings are not considered as prior publications for this purpose. Authors should state in the online submission form the name of the workshop or preprint server and title of any such non-archival version, so that reviewers can be informed appropriately.


Please follow the information for authors for instructions on formatting your paper. http://www.lirmm.fr/iwcs2017/iwcs_instructions.php
Papers should be electronically submitted in PDF format via easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwcs2017

There will be  separate call for papers for the IWS workshops to be held on Tuesday September 19.
