CALL FOR PARTICIPATION WORKSHOP ON LANGUAGE, COGNITION AND
COMPUTATIONAL MODELS
Paris, May 28-29, 2013
https://sites.google.com/site/lccmodels/home
We are pleased to invite you to:
The Workshop on Language, Cognition and Computational Models,
which will be held in Paris at the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS)
and at the Institut des Systèmes Complexes de Paris, on May 28th
and 29th 2013.
The goal of this event is to provide a venue for the
multidisciplinary discussion of theoretical and practical
research for computational models of language and cognition. The
event centers around recent advances on computational models for
language acquisition, processing and evolution.
The first day will mainly address language evolution and some of
the computational models that have been proposed to investigate
possible avenues for this phenomenon. The second day will address
more varied issues, ranging from the origins of language to
recent trends in machine translation. All the talks will address
key questions dealing with cognitive, formal and/or computational
issues related to language evolution and/or language processing.
The event is open to students, researchers and anyone interested
in related topics. Attendance is free but people who plan to
attend are kindly requested to register preferably before May 1st
to help with the planning of the event. The registration form is
available at
https://sites.google.com/site/lccmodels/registration
The workshop is funded by the cluster of labs (labex) Transfers.
It is organized thanks to the support of Lattice, Ecole Normale
Supérieure, Paris Sciences et Lettres, the Institut des Systèmes
Complexes de Paris-Ile de France, the Institute of Informatics of
the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil).
