CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
First workshop on
INFERENCE IN COMPUTATIONAL SEMANTICS
ICoS-1
http://www.illc.uva.nl/~mdr/ICoS/
Institute for Logic, Language and Computation
Amsterdam, August 15, 1999
(Early registration deadline: August 1, 1999)
Endorsed by SIGSEM, the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)
Special Interest Group (SIG) on computational semantics.
ABOUT ICoS
Traditional inference tools (such as theorem provers and model
builders) are reaching new levels of sophistication and are now widely
and easily available. In addition, 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 for natural language. Indeed, computational
semantics has 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 together researchers from areas such as Computational
Linguistics, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, and Logic, in
order to discuss approaches and applications of inference in natural
language semantics.
