LACL 2016 20th anniversary edition Logical Aspects of Computational Linguistics LORIA Nancy, December 5-7 2016 SUBMISSION DEADLINE JUNE 15 2016 http://lacl.gforge.inria.fr/ PRESENTATION LACL'2016 is the 20th anniversary of the international conference on Logical Aspects of Computational Linguistics that was launched in Nancy in 1996. The scope of this conference is the use of type theoretic, proof theoretic and model theoretic methods for describing natural language syntax, semantics and pragmatics as well as the implementation of natural language processing software relying on logical formalisation. As 20 years ago LACL will also take place at Loria in Nancy. 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, in particular categorial grammars and other type theoretic grammars, parsing as deduction, model theoretic syntax - Logical frameworks for lexical semantics; - Logical semantics of sentences, discourse and dialogue; - Applications of these logical frameworks to natural language processing tasks (automated analysis, generation, acquisition, textual inference) - Applications of the logical formalisation of language faculty to cognitive sciences INVITED SPEAKERS Maria ALONI (ILLC, Universiteit van Amsterdam) Johan BOS (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen) Shalom LAPPIN (Göteborgs universitet) Louise McNALLY (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona) SUBMISSIONS Articles should be written in the LaTeX format of LNCS by Springer (see authors instructions at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0). There will be two kinds of papers: - Regular (long) papers between 12 and 16 pages --- authors willing to submit lengthier papers should contact the committee. - Short papers (work in progress, position papers) between 4 and 8 pages. Submission is exclusively admitted electronically, in PDF format, through the EasyChair system. The submission site is https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lacl2016 It is expected that each accepted paper be presented at the meeting by one of its authors. PROCEEDINGS Accepted papers will be published as a volume of the FoLLI subline of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Here are the links to the first and last editions so far: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BFb0052147 http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-43742-1 IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: June 15, 2016 Notification of acceptance: September 1, 2016 Camera ready copies due: September 20, 2016 Conference dates: December 5-7 2016 PROGRAMME COMMITTEE AND CONTACTS Christian Retoré PC chair (Université de Montpellier, LIRMM-CNRS) christian.retore@lirmm.fr Maxime Amblard, main organizer (Université de Lorraine,) maxime.amblard@loria.fr Philippe de Groote, publicity chair (LORIA/INRIA, Nancy Grand Est) philippe.degroote@loria.fr Sylvain Pogodalla, local chair (LORIA/INRIA, Nancy Grand Est) sylvain.pogodalla@loria.fr Nicholas Asher (IRIT/CNRS, Toulouse) Denis Béchet (LINA/CNRS Université de Nantes) Daisuke Bekki (Ochninamizu University, Tokyo) Raffaella Bernardi (Università di Trento) Gemma Boleda (Università di Trento) Raffaella Bernardi (University of Trento) Heather Burnett (LLF/CNRS, Paris) Wojciech Buszkowski (Poznan University) Stergios Chatzikyriakidis (Göteborg University) Robin Cooper (Göteborg University) Marcus Egg (Humboldt-universität zu Berlin) Annie Foret (IRISA, Université Rennes 1) Nissim Francez (Technion, Haifa) Makoto Kanazawa (NII, Tokyo) Greg Kobele (University of Chicago) Marcus Kracht (University of Bielefeld) Hans Leiss (Universität München) Robert Levine (Ohio State University) Zhaohui Luo (Royal Holloway College, University of London) Alda Mari (IJN/CNRS Paris, & University of Chicago) Michael Moortgat (Universiteit Utrecht, UiL OTS) Richard Moot (LaBRI/CNRS, Bordeaux) Glyn Morrill (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona) Larry Moss (University of Indiana) Valeria de Paiva (Nuance Communications, Cupertino) Carl Pollard (The Ohio State University) Jean-Philippe Prost (LIRMM/CNRS, Université de Montpellier) Myriam Quatrini (I2M, Aix-Marseille Université) Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh (Queen Mary College, University of London) Sergei Soloviev (IRIT, Université Toulouse III) Stephanie Solt (Zentrum für Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft, Berlin) Edward Stabler (Nuance Communications, Cupertino) Mark Steedman (University of Edinburgh) Jakub Szymanik (ILLC, Universteit van Amsterdam) Isabelle Tellier (Lattice, Université Paris 3) Laure Vieu (IRIT/CNRS) Marek Zawadowsky (University of Warsaw) ?
