Third Workshop on Natural Language and Computer Science NLCS '15 July 5, 2015 Kyoto, Japan http://www.indiana.edu/~iulg/nlcs.html
A workshop affiliated with 42nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming (ICALP 2015) and 30th Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS 2015)
Endorsed by the Association for Computational Linguistics Special Interest Group on Computational Semantics
Paper submission deadline: April 2, 2015
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 includes, 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
