What is “AI, Cognitive Semantics, Computational Linguistics and
Logics” ? Traditionally, the study of computational linguistics has been performed by computer scientists, specializing in the application of computers to the processing of a natural language. Today, computational linguists often work as members of interdisciplinary teams, including linguists (specifically trained in linguistics), language experts (persons with some level of ability in the languages relevant to a given project), and computer scientists. In general, computational linguistics draws upon the involvement of linguists, computer scientists, experts in artificial intelligence, mathematicians, logicians, cognitive scientists, cognitive psychologists, psycholinguists, anthropologists and neuroscientists, among others. Computational linguistics must become more connected to the cognitive sciences through the development of cognitive semantic theories. Computational linguistics is connected to artificial intelligence through the development of methods and algorithms for all aspects of language analysis and their computer implementation. We can see language analysis divided into two parts: theoretical analysis and application. The theoretical aspect includes standard areas studied in linguistics: semantics, syntax, and morphology. Semantic theories guide the development of syntactic theories and morphology. Semantic theories can be based on some specific features of computation, but at the present stage of research, there is a gap between linguistic analysis and computer applications in two senses: there are many computer applications without linguistic theoretical support and, conversely, there are a number of theoretical methods with no computer implementation. Another epistemological feature of the present stage of research is that most computational linguistic methods are focused on statistical approaches. The advantage of these methods is that they are easy to apply but the drawback is that they distort the qualitative and genuine cognitive features of language. The goal of this track is to provide an international forum for discussing the latest approaches in subfields of computational linguistics related to cognitive semantics and to artificial intelligence. Its aim is also to exchange ideas concerning the way of building efficient systems of language analysis based on cognitive semantic models. Its mission is to prove the increase of interaction between modeling in cognitive semantics and computer implementation: a good system analysis requires a good semantic model as framework. On the other hand, the need for semantic models other than those based on statistical methods has to be proved. What is the GOAL of the
track? This track is intended to present works ranking from logical and mathematical models in syntax and semantics (logic of objects, topological theories of time and space etc.) as foundations of the design and analysis to natural language processing systems. Who might be interested? Special tracks, held in parallel with the general conference, are an integral part of the conference. They provide researchers in focused areas the opportunity to meet and present their work, and offer a forum for interaction among the broader community of artificial intelligence researchers. Topics of interest are in all areas related to artificial intelligence. What kind of studies
will be of interest? Papers and
contributions are encouraged for any work relating to AI, Cognitive Semantics, Computational
Linguistics and Logics. Topics of interest may include (but are in no way
limited to) 1. cognitive semantics, 2. logics of language, 3. language modeling, 4. computational
linguistics (lexicology; morphology; syntax; semantics). Note: We invite original papers (i.e. work not previously submitted, in submission, or to be submitted to another conference during the reviewing process). Jean-Pierre DESCLES, professor, Paris-Sorbonne University, France Interested authors should format their papers
according to AAAI
formatting guidelines. The papers should be original work (i.e., not
submitted, in submission, or submitted to another conference while in
review). FULL Papers should not exceed 6 pages; SHORT papers (for poster
presentations) should not exceed 4 pages; Abstracts (for poster
presentations, maximum of 300 words) are also invited. All submissions are
due by November 21st, 2011. For FLAIRS-25, the 2012 conference,
the reviewing is a double-blind process. Please replace author names and
affiliations with Xs on submitted papers to provide double-blind reviewing.
Papers must be submitted as PDF through the EasyChair
conference system, which can be accessed through the main conference web site
(http://www.flairs-25.info/). When
making a submission, authors should indicate the [your track name] special
track. The proceedings of FLAIRS will
be published by the AAAI.
Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a form transferring
copyright of their contribution to AAAI. FLAIRS requires
that there be at least one full author
registration per paper. Conference: May 23th – 25th, 2012 Paper submission deadline: November 21st, 2011. Notifications: January 20th, 2012. Camera ready version due: February 20th, 2012. Papers will be refereed and all accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, which will be published by AAAI Press. Ismail Biskri, Université de Québec à Trois
