Fifth Workshop on Natural Language and Computer Science NLCS '18 July 7-8, 2018 Oxford, UK http://www.indiana.edu/~iulg/nlcs.html A workshop affiliated with Federated Logic Conference (FLoC) 2018 Endorsed by the Association for Computational Linguistics Special Interest Group on Computational Semantics. We are grateful to Jesus College, Oxford, for their support of our workshop. 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 INVITED SPEAKERS Ann Copestake, University of Cambridge Aurelie Herbelot, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona PROGRAM COMMITTEE Ash Asudeh, University of Oxford/Carleton University Simon Charlow, Rutgers University Valeria de Paiva, Nuance.com Thomas Graf, State University of New York, Stony Brook Martha Lewis, University of Oxford Larry Moss, Indiana University, Bloomington Christian Retoré, Université de Montpellier Mehrnoosh Sadrzadeh, Queen Mary University of London Annie Zaenen, Stanford University PAPER SUBMISSIONS Extended abstracts of up to 10 pages may be submitted through Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nlcs18 ORGANIZERS Ash Asdeh University of Oxford/Carleton University Email: ash.asudeh at ling-phil. ox. ac.uk Valeria de Paiva Nuance.com Email: Valeria.dePaiva at nuance .com Larry Moss Indiana University Email: lsm at cs.indiana . edu IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission: May 1, 2018 Notification: May 15, 2018 Electronic versions due: May 31, 2018 -- Valeria de Paiva http://vcvpaiva.github.io/ http://research.nuance.com/author/valeria-de-paiva/ http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~vdp/
