by GRLMC

*To be removed from our mailing list, please respond to this message with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line* **************************************************************************** ****** 3rd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON STATISTICAL LANGUAGE AND SPEECH PROCESSING SLSP 2015 Budapest, Hungary November 24-26, 2015 Organised by: Laboratory of Speech Acoustics Department of Telecommunications and Telematics Budapest University of Technology and Economics http://alpha.tmit.bme.hu/speech/ Research Group on Mathematical Linguistics (GRLMC) Rovira i Virgili University http://grammars.grlmc.com/SLSP2015/ **************************************************************************** ****** AIMS: SLSP is a yearly conference series aimed at promoting and displaying excellent research on the wide spectrum of statistical methods that are currently in use in computational language or speech processing. It aims at attracting contributions from both fields. Though there exist large, well-known conferences and workshops hosting contributions to any of these areas, SLSP is a more focused meeting where synergies between subdomains and people will hopefully happen. In SLSP 2015, significant room will be reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career and particular focus will be put on methodology. VENUE: SLSP 2015 will take place in Budapest, on the banks of the Danube and an extensive UNESCO World Heritage site. The venue will be the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. SCOPE: The conference invites submissions discussing the employment of statistical models (including machine learning) within language and speech processing. Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not limited to: anaphora and coreference resolution authorship identification, plagiarism and spam filtering computer-aided translation corpora and language resources data mining and semantic web information extraction information retrieval knowledge representation and ontologies lexicons and dictionaries machine translation multimodal technologies natural language understanding neural representation of speech and language opinion mining and sentiment analysis parsing part-of-speech tagging question-answering systems semantic role labelling speaker identification and verification speech and language generation speech recognition speech synthesis speech transcription spelling correction spoken dialogue systems term extraction text categorisation text summarisation user modeling STRUCTURE: SLSP 2015 will consist of: invited talks peer-reviewed contributions INVITED SPEAKERS: Xavier Carreras (Xerox Research Centre Europe, Meylan, FR), Low-rank Matrix Learning for Compositional Objects, Strings and Trees Sebastian Riedel (University College London, UK), Embedding Probabilistic Logic for Machine Reading Steve Young (University of Cambridge, UK), Open-domain Statistical Spoken Dialogue Systems PROGRAMME COMMITTEE: Steven Abney (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA) Roberto Basili (University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy) Jean-François Bonastre (University of Avignon, France) Jill Burstein (Educational Testing Service, Princeton, USA) Nicoletta Calzolari (National Research Council, Pisa, Italy) Kevin Bretonnel Cohen (University of Colorado, Denver, USA) W.

[SIPTA] 2nd CfP: Special Issue on Logics for Preferences, Uncertainty and Vagueness

by Thomas Lukasiewicz

****************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS * IfCoLog Journal of Logics and their Applications * Special Issue on Logics for Reasoning about Preferences, Uncertainty and Vagueness http://lat.inf.tu-dresden.de/PRUV-SI15/ ****************************************************************** PRUV 2014 was the first Workshop on Logics for Reasoning about Preferences, Uncertainty, and Vagueness. This workshop was associated to the Vienna Summer of Logic. The aim of PRUV is to bring together people from different communities (such as the Artificial Intelligence and the Semantic Web community, among others), including theorists and practitioners, working on logics for reasoning about preferences, uncertainty, and vagueness. Making researchers aware of and fruitfully discuss the most recent application areas, new challenges and the existing body of work on logics for reasoning about preferences, uncertainty, and vagueness, respectively is the main goal of the meeting. After a successful workshop, the IfCoLog Journal of Logics and their Applications now invites submissions to a special issue on the topics of PRUV. == Submission Deadline == ** June 21st, 2015 ** == TOPICS == We welcome submissions relating logic with preferences, uncertainty and vagueness. Some logics of interest are: - first order logic, - propositional logic, - logic programming, - answer set programming, - description logics, - modal logic, - dynamic logic, - temporal logics, - defeasible logics, - agent logics. Formalisms for handling preferences, uncertainty and vagueness include, but are not limited to - probability measures, - Bayesian networks, - possibility measures, - preference networks, - CP-networks, - rough sets, - fuzzy set theory. == PUBLICATION == All accepted papers will be published in a special issue of the IFCOLOG Journal of Logics and their Applications (http://www.collegepublications.co.uk/journals/ifcolog/) == SUBMISSION GUIDELINES == Submissions must be prepared in LaTeX using the IfCoLog style (http://lat.inf.tu-dresden.de/PRUV-SI15/ifcolog.cls) All submitted manuscripts must contain original material not previously published or currently under review in any other journal. Submissions extending results previously published at a conference or workshop are welcome. Submissions will be made via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pruvsi15 More information is available at the special issue webpage http://lat.inf.tu-dresden.de/PRUV-SI15/
