*CALL FOR PAPERS*

Fourth Workshop on Natural Language and Computer Science
NLCS '16
July 10, 2016
New York, NY
http://www.indiana.edu/~iulg/nlcs.html

A workshop affiliated with the 30th Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in 
Computer Science (LICS 2016)

Paper submission deadline:  May 10, 2016.


AIMS AND SCOPE

Formal tools coming from logic and category theory are important in both 
natural language semantics and in computational semantics. Moreover, work 
on these tools borrows heavily from all areas of theoretical computer 
science. In the other direction, applications having to do with natural 
language has inspired developments on the formal side. The workshop 
invites papers on both topics. Specific topics include, but are not 
limited to:

  • logic for semantics of lexical items, sentences, discourse and dialog
  • continuations in natural language semantics
  • formal tools in textual inference, such as logics for natural language 
inference
  • applications of category theory in semantics
  • linear logic in semantics
  • formal approaches to unifying data-driven and declarative approaches to 
semantics
