Announcing an international interdisciplinary conference on:
THE COGNITIVE BASIS OF SCIENCE
Earnshaw Hall, University of Sheffield, UK 2 pm Wednesday 28 June to 2
pm Saturday 1 July 2000
Sponsored by the Hang Seng Centre for Cognitive Studies, University of
Sheffield
The conference will address such questions as the following: What is it
about human cognition which either enables us, or fits us, to do
science? Do scientific abilities have some sort of distinctive innate
basis? (Is there a science "module"?) Or are scientific abilities
socially constructed out of general-learning mechanisms? How do
different elements of our cognition fit together to underpin
scientific reasoning? To what extent are there continuities between the
cognitive processes involved in child development, those engaged in by
hunter-gatherer communities, and those which are distinctive of
scientific enquiry? How fundamental is the concept of "cause" in
scientific reasoning, and how do we come by it? (Is the concept of "ca=
use" innate?) How important is simplicity as a constraint on scientific
explanation, and to what extent does its use in science reflect some
more general cognitive constraint? What place do the emotions have in an
adequate account of scientific activity?
Participants will include the following: =
Atran, Scott (Anthropology, CNRS Paris & Michigan)
Butterworth, George (Cognitive Science, Sussex)
Carruthers, Peter (Philosophy, Sheffield)
Chater, Nick (Psychology, Warwick)
Evans, Jonathan (Psychology, Plymouth)

I. OVERVIEW
The problem of automatic summarization poses a variety of tough challenges
in both NL understanding and generation. A spate of recent papers and
tutorials on this subject at conferences such as ACL/EACL, AAAI, ECAI,
IJCAI, and SIGIR point to a growing interest in research in this field.
Several commercial summarization products have also appeared. There have
been several workshops in the past on this subject: Dagstuhl in 94, ACL/EACL
in 97, and the AAAI Spring Symposium in 98. All of these were extremely
successful, and the field is now enjoying a period of revival and is
advancing at a much quicker pace than before. ANLP/NAACL'2000 is an ideal
occasion to host another workshop on this problem.

"Integrating Information from Different Channels
===============================================
in Multi-Media-Contexts"
=======================
to be held as part of ESSLLI 2000 at Birmingham (UK), August 6-18, 2000
URL: http://www.lili.uni-bielefeld.de/~wicic
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
In everyday situations agents must combine information from different
sources: Reference and predication can be based both on gestural and
spoken information. Inferences demand extracting information from
diagrams and the text built around them. Focus of attention is often
indicated by visual, gestural or acoustic means.
The growing number of researchers interested in multimodal information
reflects its practical relevance, not least in the construction of
man-machine interfaces. In order to model complex multimodal
information, a notion of composite signal is called for in which
the different "threads of information" are integrated. Understanding
composite signals may be necessary for all fields of science dealing
with information, whether empirically or formally oriented. Research
in this area is bound up with logical, linguistic, computational and
philosophical problems like
- assessing the semantic contribution of information from
different sources,
- compositionality in the construction of information
- extending the notions of reference, truth and entailment in
order to capture the content of "mixed information states" and
- experimentally measuring the activity on different channels or
- investigating timing problems concerning "interleaving
threads" of information.
Despite their foundational flavour, emerging theories in this area
have applications in domains as diverse as discourse analysis
(monitoring and back-channelling behaviour), styles of reasoning,
robotics (reference resolution by pointing) and Virtual Reality
(integration of gesture and speech).
Consequently, the workshop is addressed to scholars from different
fields: We welcome experimental researchers investigating
e.g. gesture, eye movement or other means of focussing in relation to
speech. At the same time workshop contributions of linguists,
logicians or computer scientists are invited who work on the
description and the formal modelling of complex signals. Finally, work
concerning the simulation of production or understanding of complex
signals, Virtual Reality type, neural net like or other, is also
encouraged.

1. Workshop Outline
Currently, we can identify a number of trends in the community dealing
with multimodal/multimedia language resources:
- The number of resources is increasing rapidly.
- Due to multimedia extensions and rich annotations the structural
complexity of the resources is entering new dimensions.
- The quantity of data to be handled is increasing enormously due to
multimedia extensions, demanding new solutions.
- The development of technology makes us assume that more and more of
these resources will be available on the Internet.
The joint EC/NSF funded EAGLES/ISLE [1] initiative aims to create
standards and guidelines that can be applied to natural interactivity
and multimodal language reources (e.g. speech, gesture, facial
expressions, manual languages) that support the creation, use, re-use
of and access to such resources. As part of this initiative, the
workshop will address current trends and discuss structures which
could simplify and assist the creation and use of annotated
multimodal/multimedia resources, the process of finding suitable
resources, and accessing them, for instance, via the Web. The workshop
will address two related areas: annotation schemas and
meta-descriptions for multimodal/multimedia language resources.
