Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics 2017 (CMCL-2017)
=================================================================
A workshop to be held April 3, 2017 in conjunction with the
2017 European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
(EACL 2017) in Valencia, Spain
http://cmcl2017.osu.edu
Submission system now open. See below for link.
REMINDER: Deadline for submissions: 16 January 2017
Workshop Description
--------------------
This workshop provides a venue for work in
computational psycholinguistics: the computational and mathematical
modeling of linguistic generalization, development, and processing. We
invite contributions that apply methods from computational linguistics
to problems in the cognitive modeling of any and all natural
language-related abilities. The 2017 workshop follows in the tradition
of earlier CMCL meetings at ACL 2010, ACL 2011, NAACL-HLT 2012, ACL
2013, ACL 2014, and NAACL 2015.
Scope and Topics
----------------
The workshop invites a broad spectrum of work in the cognitive science
of language, at all levels of analysis from sounds to discourse and on
both learning and processing. Topics include, but are not limited to:
* incremental parsers for diverse grammar formalisms
* stochastic models of factors encouraging one production or
interpretation over its competitors
* models of semantic/pragmatic interpretation, including
cognitively-plausible meaning and composition
* models of human language acquisition, including phonology,
morphology, syntax, and semantics
* models of human language adaptation in a changing linguistic
environment
* derivations of quantitative measures of
comprehension difficulty, or predictions regarding
generalization in language learning
* application of cognitive models and measurements to the
development and evaluation of NLP systems (e.g., cognitive
plausibility of different artificial neural network
architectures)
* models of linguistic information propagation and language change
in communication networks
* psychologically motivated models of grammar induction or
semantic learning
Submissions are especially welcomed that combine computational
modeling work with experimental or corpus data to test theoretical
questions about the nature of human language acquisition,
comprehension, and/or production.
Submissions
-----------
We solicit three categories of papers: regular workshop papers,
extended abstracts and cross-submissions. Only regular workshop papers
will be included in the proceedings as archival publications. All
submissions should be in PDF format and made through the Softconf
website:
https://www.softconf.com/eacl2017/cmcl2017/
To facilitate double-blind reviewing, submitted manuscripts (regular
short and long papers as well as extended abstracts) should not
include any identifying information about the authors, except for cross-
submissions, which can include author information in the text.
Submissions must be formatted using ACL 2017 submission guidelines at:
http://eacl2017.org/index.php/calls/call-for-papers
Submission style templates are available at:
http://eacl2017.org/images/site/eacl-2017-template.zip
If essentially identical papers are submitted to multiple conferences
or workshops, this fact must be indicated at submission time.
The submission deadline is 11:59PM Pacific Time on January 16, 2017.
Regular Workshop Papers
This call solicits full papers (8 content + 2 bibliography pages) and
short papers (4 content + 2 bibliography pages) reporting original and
unpublished research that combines cognitive modeling and
computational linguistics. Accepted papers are expected to be
presented at the workshop and will be published in the workshop
proceedings. They should emphasize obtained results rather than
intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of completion of
the reported results. A paper accepted for presentation at the
workshop must not be presented or have been presented at any other
meeting with publicly available proceedings.
Extended Abstracts
Preliminary but interesting ideas or results that have not been
published before may be submitted as extended abstracts, with length
of 2 to 4 pages plus references, following the ACL 2017 formatting
requirements. Reviewing will be double-blind, and thus no author
information should be included in the papers; self-reference that
identifies the authors should be avoided or anonymized. Accepted
abstracts will be presented as posters, but will not be included in
the workshop proceedings.
Cross-Submissions
In addition to unpublished work, we also solicit papers on related
topics that have appeared in a non-NLP venue (e.g., papers at
CogSci). These papers will be presented as posters, but do not count
as CMCL workshop papers and will not be included in the
proceedings. Interested authors need to submit their papers in PDF
format through the same Softconf website with a note on the original
venue. Papers in this category do not need to follow the ACL format
and the selection is solely determined by the organizing committee.
Invited Speakers
----------------
We are pleased to welcome Raquel Fernández from the University of
Amsterdam and Anders Søgaard from the University of Copenhagen as CMCL
invited speakers in 2017.
Best Student Paper
------------------
The best regular workshop paper whose first author is a student will
receive the Best Student Paper award.
Student Travel Grants
---------------------
Thanks to the generosity of its sponsors, CMCL is able to provide a
small number of student travel awards ($200 each) for accepted,
first-authored student papers this year.
