CALL FOR PAPERS
WLSS98 is organized by Centro per l'Elaborazione del
Linguaggio ed Informazione (CELI), Istituto di Linguistica
Computazionale (ILC), Istituto per la Ricerca Scientifica e
Tecnologia (ITC-IRST) and Scuola Normale Superiore (Pisa),
and will take place in Pisa on the 6-7 April 1998.
WLSS workshops aim at bringing together Italian and
international scholars, active in both theoretical and
applicative domains of research in lexical semantics, with
the goals of:
- providing an overview of the state of the art and
exchanging information on ongoing and planned activities;
- bridging the gap and enhance the trade-off between
theoretical models of lexical knowledge and applications in
NLP systems.
These goals are justified:
- by the increasingly central position that lexical
knowledge, and in particular lexical semantics, is assuming
within the general architecture of cognitive systems, both as
a dynamic module which interact with other non-linguistic
sources of knowledge, and as a component playing a major role
in interfacing syntax and semantics;
- by the fact that lexical resources (such as tagged corpora,
computational dictionaries, Machine Readable Dictionaries,
WordNets) are among the most crucial aspects of practical NLP
systems. Issues concerning the structure, the representation,
the development, and the acquisition of lexical knowledge are
thus of the uttermost importance when building NLP systems.
Lexical systems also play a crucial role in the design and
construction of multilingual systems, a key feature at least
for applications designed to operate in a distributed, non-
centralized environment such as the World Wide Web.
This second edition of WLSS will focus on the portability and
reusability of lexical systems, and on the issue of word
sense disambiguation and semantic tagging. We also encourage
the submission of papers concerning more general issues about
linguistic lexical semantics and its interaction with
computational lexicography.
Abstracts are invited for 30-minute talks. Here follows a non-
exhaustive list of topics which could be addressed:
* Lexical resources for semantic tagging and word sense
disambiguation.
* Use of lexicons and thesauruses to improve information
retrieval / extraction techniques.
* Automatic acquisition and management of lexical resources.
* Reusability and tuning of existing lexical resources for
novel tasks.
* Trade offs between generic and domain specific lexical
resources.
* Multilingual lexical resources.
* Description and evaluation of existing tools and systems.
* Evaluation of different representation formats.
* Issues in computational lexical semantics and
computational lexicography.
* Issues in the design, construction and use of lexical
resources.
* Architecture for a cognitive plausible lexicon
* Lexical representation and the interface with syntactic
processes

ESSLLI-98 Workshop on
MUTUAL KNOWLEDGE, COMMON GROUND AND PUBLIC INFORMATION
August 24 - 28, 1998
A workshop held as part of the
10th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
(ESSLLI-98)
August 17 - 28, 1998, Saarbrueken, Germany
** SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS **
ORGANISERS: Wolfgang Heydrich and Hannes Rieser (Hamburg/Bielefeld)
Web site: http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~esslli98/workshops.html
BACKGROUND
The topic of the workshop is in the common focus of several disciplines:
cognitive science, linguistic pragmatics & semantics, philosophical logic,
AI, and psychology. It concerns research in areas like discourse analysis,
coordination, presupposition and accomodation, as well as the formal
reconstruction of dialogue and interaction. There are obvious connections
to problems of group-epistemology and general (philosophical) concepts like
intersubjectivity. The topic constitutes a field of discussion where
empirical and formal methodologies meet (from controlled experiments and
discourse analysis to, say, non-well-founded set theory).
We invite contributions from all the fields mentioned above, which may
focus on:
- foundational problems (epistemic logic, social ontology, set theory),
- descriptive and experimental work in psychology, linguistics and
ethnomethodology,
- applications in models of agent's behaviour based on e.g., intention
analysis, Gricean accounts or speech act theory,
- computer simulation implementing the concepts mentioned.
WORKSHOP FORMAT:
The workshop will consist of five sessions (90 min. each) of presentation
and discussion of contributed papers. It will take place during the second
week of the Summer School and will be open to all members of the LLI
community.
SUBMISSIONS:
All reserchers in the area, but especially Ph.D. students and young
reserachers, are encouraged to submit a two-page abstract (hard copies or
by e-mail) to one of the following addresses:
