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. 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. 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). Professor Daniel Vanderveken, Department of
Philosophy, Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, Canada 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). Papers
should not exceed 6 pages (2 pages for a poster) and are due by November 22nd,
2010. For FLAIRS-24, the 2011 conference, the reviewing is a double blind
process. Fake author names and affiliations must be used 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-24.info/).
Note: do not use a fake name for your EasyChair login - your EasyChair
account information is hidden from reviewers. Authors should indicate the AI,
Cognitive Semantics, Computational Linguistics and Logics special track for
submissions. 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.
Please, check the website http://www.flairs-24.info/ for further information. Conference: May 18th – 20th, 2011 Paper submission deadline: November 22nd, 2010. Notifications: January 21st, 2011. Camera ready version due: February 21st, 2011 Papers will be refereed and all accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, which will be published by AAAI Press.
