NLPCS 2014 - 11th International Workshop on Natural Language Processing and Cognitive Science

The workshop will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from the fields of natural language processing, computational linguistics and cognitive science to their ideas and investigations. Given the breadth of the topic, we welcome papers from many perspectives, including but not limited to computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology, language learning, artificial intelligence, etc.
The aim of this workshop is to foster interactions among researchers and practitioners in Natural Language Processing (NLP) by taking a Cognitive Science perspective.
The aim of this workshop is to foster interactions among researchers and practitioners in Natural Language Processing (NLP) by taking a Cognitive Science perspective.
Hence, topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Computational Models of NLP
Cognitive and Psychological Models of NLP
Emotion and Language Processing
Evolutionary NLP
Discourse Processing
Pragmatics and NLP
Social Cognition of Language
Embodied and Situated NLP
Multimodality in Speech / Text Processing
Text Summarisation and Information Extraction
Natural Language Interfaces and Dialogue Systems
Translation and Machine Translation
Multi-Lingual Processing
Speech Processing
Tools and Resources in NLP
Corpus Linguistics
Text mining
Ontologies
These topics can be addressed from any of the following perspectives: full automation by machines for machine (traditional NLP or Human Language Technology), semi-automated processing, i.e. machine-mediated processing (programs assisting people in their tasks), and simulation of human cognitive process.
