Call for Papers
13th International Conference on Computational Semantics (IWCS)
University of Gothenburg, Sweden
23-27th May 2019
https://sites.google.com/view/iwcs2019/home
Important dates:
- Submission deadline (long, short, and student papers): 15th January, 2019
- Notification of acceptance: 1st March 2019
- Camera-ready due: 1st April 2019
All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 ("anywhere on Earth").
IWCS is the bi-yearly meeting of SIGSEM, http://sigsem.org the ACL special
interest group on semantics [2]; this year's edition is hosted by the
Centre of Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP),
http://clasp.gu.se at the Department of Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory
of Science (FLoV), http://flov.gu.se/english and will be held at the
Wallenberg Conference Centre of University of Gothenburg
https://www.gu.se/english/conferences/conference-packages/wallenberg .
The aim of the IWCS conference is to bring together researchers interested
in any aspects of the computation, annotation, extraction, and
representation of meaning in natural language, whether from a lexical or
structural semantic perspective. IWCS embraces both symbolic and machine
learning approaches to computational semantics, and everything in between.
The main conference will be run from 25-27 May 2019, preceded by workshops
on 23-24 May.
Submission Deadline
Authors must submit by 15th January; however, we will allow resubmission
of updated versions until 18th January. Please submit at least a
sufficient abstract to allow sensible reviewer assignment by the 15th. See
Instructions for Authors
https://sites.google.com/view/iwcs2019/instructions-for-authors for full
instructions.
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
* recognising textual entailment
* 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

Submission Requirements
Three types of submission are solicited: long papers, student papers and
short papers. All types of papers should be submitted not later than 15th
January, 2019.
Long papers should describe original research and must not exceed 10 pages
plus references. They will be published in the conference proceedings and
in the ACL Anthology, and will have a full oral presentation at the
conference.
Student papers should describe original research but the first author must
be a student or at least 2/3 of the work on a paper should be completed by
students. Papers should not exceed 8 pages plus references. In contrast to
long papers, the reviewers will give special support to authors in terms
of mentoring and guidance. The papers will have a full oral presentation
at the conference in a special student session and will be published in
the conference proceedings and in the ACL Anthology.
Short papers (typically system or project descriptions, or ongoing
research) must not exceed 5 pages plus references. They 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.
Papers should be electronically submitted in PDF format via the EasyChair
system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwcs2019. Please make
sure that you select the right track when submitting your paper. Contact
the organisers if you have problems using EasyChair.
Please follow the information for authors for instructions on formatting
your paper, given on the conference webpage
