(Apologies for cross-posting.) CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd Workshop on Natural Language Processing and Automated Reasoning (NLPAR 2015) https://sites.google.com/site/nlpar2015/ Collocated with the 13th International Conference on Logic Programming and Nonmonotonic Reasoning 2015 in Lexington, Kentucky, USA, September 27-30, 2015. AIMS AND SCOPE Natural Language Processing (NLP) has been of interest for a long time; to the Artificial Intelligence community in general and to the Logic Programming and Automated Reasoning community in particular. NLP approaches that are based on logical inference promise a deeper understanding of natural language than possible with purely statistics-based methods. A deep understanding is beneficial and necessary in most areas of NLP, for example word and entity recognition; word sense disambiguation; parsing and syntactical disambiguation; and reasoning over the semantics and pragmatics of words, phrases, sentences, and whole discourses. This workshop aims to bring together researchers with a common interest in addressing the challenges of natural language processing using automated reasoning methods. This edition will feature an invited talk by Jerry Hobbs, the winner of the 2013 Lifetime Achievement Award of the Association of Computational Linguistics, who has been doing pioneering research on the interface between natural language, logical inference, and common sense knowledge over the past 40 years. As submissions to this workshop, theoretical results, reports about systems and experiments, and work that combines logical inference and statistical methods, are welcome. Topics include but are not limited to: * Morphology * Named Entity Recognition * Syntax * Coreference Resolution * Semantics * Discourse * Pragmatics * Ontologies for NLP * Controlled Natural Language * Question Answering * Recognizing Textual Entailment * Natural Language Generation * Text Summarization * Machine Translation INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS NLPAR 2015 aims to present original scientific research, and will not accept any paper which, at the time of submission, has already been published or accepted for publication in a journal or previous conference. Submissions must be written in English and formatted according to the Springer LNCS/LNAI author instructions. http://www.springer.com/comp/lncs/Authors.html Papers must present original research and not exceed 12 pages including title page, references and figures. Paper submission and peer review is electronic and managed through the following easychair webpage. https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nlpar2015 Proceedings will be published online after the workshop, we intend to publish them as CEUR workshop proceedings on CEUR-WS.org. IMPORTANT DATES * Paper submission: June 22, 2015 * Notification: July 27, 2015 * Final version: August 17, 2015 * Workshop: September 27, 2015 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Marcello Balduccini (Drexel University, USA) Katya Ovchinnikova (KIT, Karlsruhe & ICT, Uni Heidelberg, Germany) Peter Schueller (Marmara University, Turkey) Email Contact: nlpar2015@easychair.org PROGRAM COMMITTEE Chitta Baral (Arizona State University, USA) Johan Bos (University of Groningen, Netherlands) Vinay Chaudhri (SRI International, USA) Esra Erdem (Sabanci University, Turkey) Katrin Erk (University of Texas at Austin, USA) Christian Fermüller (TU Wien, Austria) Michael Gelfond (Texas Tech University, USA) Kentaro Inui (Tohoku University, Japan) Yuliya Lierler (University of Nebraska at Omaha, USA) Lenhart Schubert (University of Rochester, USA) Rolf Schwitter (Marcquarie University, Australia) Mark Steedman (University of Edinburgh, UK) Luis Tari (GE Global Research, USA) INVITED SPEAKERS Jerry Hobbs (UCS/ISI, USA) |
