MOL 2013 - The 13th Meeting on the Mathematics of Language

MoL is devoted to the study of mathematical structures and methods that are of importance to the description of language. Contributions to all areas of this field are welcome. Specific topics within the scope of our 13th meeting include, but are not limited to the following:
generative capacity, computational complexity, and learnability of grammar formalisms
formal and computational syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and phonology;
formal analysis of linguistic theories and frameworks
model-theoretic and proof-theoretic methods in linguistics
mathematical foundations of statistical and stochastic approaches to language analysis
formal models of language use and language change
This year we are actively seeking contributions addressing the theoretical underpinnings of the main tasks and methods of natural language processing, such as speech analysis, (shallow) parsing, POS tagging, named entity recognition, natural language understanding, and machine translation.
