Workshop on LOGICS and ONTOLOGIES for NATURAL LANGUAGE (LogOnto 2014) http://emap.fgv.br/logonto-2014/ 27 September, 2014 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Paper submission deadline: May 22, 2014 (extended to May 30) AIMS AND SCOPE Formal tools coming from logic, ontologies and automated reasoning are important for natural language processing, lexical semantics and in general for computational semantics. The workshop invites papers on formal approaches on dealing with semantics, as well as on the combination between logical methods and statistical methods for acquiring and using ontologies for computational semantics, especially for languages less endowed with lexical resources. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: - logic for semantics of lexical items, sentences, discourse and dialog - ontologies for applications in Portuguese - formal tools in ontology creation, re-use and evaluation - formal tools in textual inference, such as logics for natural language inference - description and modal logics in semantics - formal approaches to unifying data-driven and declarative approaches to semantics IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: May 22, 2014 (extended to May 30) Author notification: June 30, 2014 Electronic versions of papers due: July 15, 2014 Workshop: September 22, 2014 SUBMISSIONS Please submit extended abstracts of 4--6 pages using EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=logonto2014 ORGANIZERS Valeria de Paiva, Nuance Comms Alexandre Rademaker, IBM-Research and Emap, FGV PROGRAM COMMITTEE Gerard de Melo, Tsinghua University Valeria de Paiva, Nuance Comm, USA Hugo Oliveira, Coimbra University, PT Francis Bond, Nanyang Technological University,Singapore Claudia Freitas, PUC-Rio, BR Alexandre Rademaker, IBM and FGV, BR
