Second Call for Workshop Proposals Deadline: Jan 31
16th International Conference on Computational Semantics (IWCS) Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Germany 22-24 September 2025 https://iwcs2025.github.io/ IWCS is a biennial conference on computational semantics. This year's edition is organized by Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. The conference is endorsed by SIGSEM, the ACL Special Interest Group on Computational Semantics. The aim of IWCS is to bring together researchers interested in any aspects of the computation, annotation, extraction, representation, and learning of meaning in natural language, whether this is from a lexical or structural semantic perspective. IWCS embraces both symbolic and machine learning approaches to computational semantics, and everything in between. The conference and workshops will take place 22-24 September 2025. === WORKSHOP PROPOSALS === We invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with IWCS 2025. Accepted workshops will have the option to publish their proceedings in the ACL Anthology. We solicit proposals in all areas of computational semantics, in other words all computational aspects of meaning of natural language within written, spoken, signed, or multi-modal communication. Workshops are invited on these closely related areas, including the following: * design of meaning representations * syntax-semantics interface * representing and resolving semantic ambiguity * shallow and deep semantic processing and reasoning * hybrid symbolic and statistical approaches to semantics * distributional semantics * alternative approaches to compositional semantics * inference methods for computational semantics * recognizing textual entailment * learning by reading * methodologies and practices for semantic annotation * machine learning of semantic structures * probabilistic computational semantics * neural semantic parsing * computing meaning with large language models * computational aspects of lexical semantics * semantics and ontologies * semantic web and natural language processing * semantic aspects of language generation * generating from meaning representations * semantic relations in discourse and dialogue * semantics and pragmatics of dialogue acts * multimodal and grounded approaches to computing meaning * semantics-pragmatics interface * applications of computational semantics === FINANCES === Workshops must cover their own costs for invited speakers as well as organizers' traveling costs. === SUBMISSION INFORMATION === Proposals for workshops should contain: * A title and brief (max two pages) description of the workshop topic and content; * The names, affiliation and email addresses of the organisers; * An estimate of the expected audience size; * If the workshop has been held before, a note specifying where previous workshops were held, how many submissions the workshop received, how many papers were accepted and how many attendees the workshop attracted; * Whether you plan a half-day or full-day workshop; * Whether or not the workshop proceedings should be published in the ACL Anthology. Proposals should be submitted on OpenReview: https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/SIGSEM/IWCS/2025/Workshop_Proposals The person submitting the proposal will need an OpenReview account. Please note OpenReview's moderation policy, where newly created accounts with an institutional email address are approved automatically, but other email addresses can take up to two weeks to approve. === IMPORTANT DATES === 31 January 2025 Workshop proposal submissions due 07 February 2025 Workshop proposal notification of acceptance 24 September 2025 Workshop date === CONTACT === For questions, contact: [email protected] Kilian Evang, Laura Kallmeyer, Sylvain Pogodalla (the IWCS 2025 program chairs) -- Dr. Kilian Evang · Institut für Linguistik · Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf Universitätsstr. 1 · 40225 Düsseldorf, Germany · https://kilian.evang.name
