*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
