ICoS Traditional inference tools (such as theorem provers and model builders) are reaching new levels of sophistication and are now widely and easily available. A wide variety of new tools (statistical and probabilistic methods, ideas from the machine learning community) are likely to be increasingly applied in computational semantics. Most importantly of all, computational semantics seems to have reached the stage where the exploration and development of inference is one of its most pressing tasks --- and there's a lot of interesting new work which takes inferential issues seriously. The First Workshop on Inference in Computational Semantics (ICoS-1) intends to bring researchers from areas such as Computational Linguistics, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science,and Logics together, in order to discuss approaches and applications of Inference in natural language semantics. ICoS-1 is endorsed by SIGSEM, the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)
Special Interest Group (SIG) on computational semantics.
Location ICoS-1 will be held at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) at the University of Amsterdam during the 11th European Summer School on Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI'99), which will be held in Utrecht, approximately 30km from Amsterdam. More information on the ILLC including instructions how to get there can be found here. Program The following people will give invited presentations:
The program committee for ICoS-1 consists of the following people:
Submissions We ask you to limit the final version of your research paper to 15 pages at most (11pt, a4paper, one column). System descriptions should be no longer than 6 pages (11pt, a4paper, one column). To yield a uniform layout for
the workshop proceedings, we
encourage you to use LaTeX and use
\bibiographystyle{alpha} for citations.
The final versions should be sent to icos1@wins.uva.nl. Note that the final version is due July 21, 1999.
In addition to the workshop proceedings, we plan to publish a special
issue of the Journal of Language and Computation devoted to
ICoS-1. Shortly after the workshop, authors will be contacted by the
editors for special issue, inviting them to contribute; we may ask you
to incorporate comments/discussions/.. arising during ICoS-1 into
your paper. Details on the publication schedule for the special issue
as well as formatting instructions will be announced at the workshop.
As it is very hard to get accommodation in Amsterdam during the summer, it is imperative that you Further information on finding accommodation can be found here.
If you have any questions, please contact the
local organizers at icos1@wins.uva.nl. |
