SEM 2015 - Fourth joint conference on lexical and computational semantics

We are pleased to announce that SIGLEX and SIGSEM, special interest groups of the ACL, are organizing the fourth joint conference on lexical and computational semantics: *SEM (pronounced "starsem"). This time *SEM will be collocated with NAACL in Denver, Colorado.
*SEM brings together researchers interested in the semantics of natural languages and its computational modeling. The conference embraces symbolic and probabilistic approaches, and everything in between; theoretical contributions as well as practical applications are welcome. The long-term goal of *SEM is to provide a stable forum for the growing number of NLP researchers working on all aspects of semantics.
