It will be held as one of the workshops of the 8th JSAI International Symposia on AI (isAI2016) (https://www.ai-gakkai.or.jp/isai/) sponsored by the Japan Society for Artificial Intelligence (JSAI) (https://www.ai-gakkai.or.jp/isai/). Aims and Topics: ================ We invite submissions to this year's workshop on topics in formal syntax, semantics and pragmatics, and related fields, including but in no way limited to the following: - Formal syntax, semantics and pragmatics of natural language - Model-theoretic and/or proof-theoretic semantics of natural language - Computational Semantics - Game-theoretic/Bayesian approaches to pragmatics - Nonclassical Logic and its relation to natural language (especially Substructural/Fuzzy/Categorical/Topological logics) - Formal Philosophy of language - Scientific methodology and/or experimental design for linguistics The first day of LENLS will include an Unshared Task on Theory and System analysis with FraCaS, MultiFraCaS and JSeM Test Suites, for which there are more specific submission details at http://www.compling.jp/fracas_task/index.html (http://www.compling.jp/fracas_task/index.html). Submissions: ============ Abstracts (anonymous, up to 4 pages, including figures and references, A4 size, with 12 point font) must be submitted electronically in PDF format at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lenls13 When the abstract is accepted, the author is expected to submit a full paper (10-14 pages) before the workshop. The online proceedings of the workshop will be available at the conference site. Selected Papers: ================ We also plan to publish a selection of the accepted/invited papers as a portion of a volume "JSAI-isAI selected papers", which will be published from `Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence' series (Springer Verlag). Important dates: ================ Abstract submission deadline (EXTENDED): September 10, 2016 Notification of acceptance: September 30, 2016 Deadline for camera-ready copy: mid-October, 2016 Unshared Task: Theory and System analysis with FraCaS, MultiFraCaS and JSeM Test Suites: November 13, 2016 LENLS13: November 14-15, 2016 Sponsor: ======== LENLS is being organized by an alliance of "Establishment of Knowledge-Intensive Structural Natural Language Processing and Construction of Knowledge Infrastructure" (http://nlp.ist.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp/CREST/?en) project, funded by JST CREST Programs "Advanced Core Technologies for Big Data Integration" (http://www.jst.go.jp/kisoken/crest/en/research_area/ongoing/areah25-6.html).
