First Call for Papers
CATALOG'04
EIGHTH WORKSHOP ON THE SEMANTICS AND PRAGMATICS OF DIALOGUE (SEMDIAL)
Pompeu Fabra University
Barcelona
June 19-21 2004
(Apologies for Multiple Postings)
Workshop URL: <http://www.upf.edu/catalog04>http://www.upf.edu/catalog04
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Catalog'04 will be the eighth in a series of workshops that aims to bring
together researchers working on the semantics and pragmatics of dialogues
in fields such as artificial intelligence, formal semantics and pragmatics,
computational linguistics, philosophy, and psychology. The Dial/Log
conferences are always stimulating and fun and Barcelona, which will host
ACL 2004 immediately following Catalog'04, is a great place to visit.
Barcelona will also host, during the summer of 2004, its 'Forum 2004', a
huge cultural fair full of events, exhibits, and performances
(<http://www.barcelona2004.org/eng/>http://www.barcelona2004.org/eng/). So
mark your calendar now.
INVITED SPEAKERS:
Massimo Poesio (University of Essex),
Michael Tannenhaus (University of Rochester),
Two other speakers to be announced
We invite abstracts on all topics related to the semantics and
pragmatics of dialogues, including, but not limited to:
- models of common ground/mutual belief in communication
- modelling agents' information states and how they get updated
- multi-agent models and turn-taking
- goals, intentions and commitments in communication
- semantic interpretation in dialogues
- reference in dialogues
- ellipsis resolution in dialogues
- dialogue and discourse structure
- interpretation of questions and answers
- nonlinguistic interaction in communication
- natural language understanding and reasoning in spoken dialogue systems
- multimodal dialogue systems
- dialogue management in practical implementations
- categorisation of dialogue moves or speech acts in corpora
- designing and evaluating dialogue systems

CALL FOR PAPERS
NLP for Multimedia Applications
http://www.dfki.de/~declerck/esslli04.htm
16-20 August, Nancy
organised as part of the European Summer School on Logic, Language and
Information
ESSLLI 2004 (http://esslli2004.loria.fr/) 9-20 August, 2004 in Nancy
Workshop Organizers:
Thierry Declerck (declerck@dfki.deb)
Elisabeth André (andre@informatik.uni-augsburg.de)
Workshop Purpose:
The Workshop aims to provide a discussion platform between advanced PhD
students and researchers, who are interested in the topics typically
addressed at ESSLLI,
and possible multimedia applications involving research results from
Language Processing. The submissions should not necessarily describe
achieved work, but can
present advanced ideas on how to combine NLP and Multimedia applications.
Workshop Topics:
The workshop will explore some issues on the role natural language
processing (NLP) can play
within the increasing number of multimedia (MM) applications that more and
more are
influencing our everyday life. Multimodality can be addressed as well, as
long as multimedia
aspects are considered. Main questions to be addressed will be:
- How to integrate multimedia input including natural language (spoken or
written);
- How to combine natural language with other media in order to generate
high quality multimedia output;
- How to make use of NL for efficient access to MM archives, Including
interactive retrieval;
- Multimedia segmentation, indexing, summarization, and presentation;
- Multimedia and multimodal interaction;
- How to extend multilingual NLP applications (like Question Answering etc)
into a multi-source and multimedia setting;
- Representation (and reasoning about) of multimedia/multimodal discourse
and context
The workshop will also investigate the type of formalisms and standards to
be used for this
integration task. Contributions on basic research and on running or
achieved projects dealing
with the topics are welcome.
Papers addressing one or more of the following topics are also welcome, but
there should be
some clear possible relationships to NLP, including logical issues:
MPEG, multimedia/multimodal content, coding schemes, metadata, knowledge
representation for
multimedia content (multimedia ontologies), semantic annotation of
multimedia content or search,
retrieval and Web applications.
