Call For Papers - CFP

Constraints are widely used in linguistics, computer science, and psychology. How they are used, however, varies widely according to the research domain: knowledge representation, cognitive modelling, problem solving mechanisms, etc. These different perspectives are complementary, each one adding a piece to the puzzle. For example, linguistics proposes in-depth descriptions implementing constraints in order to filter out structures by means of description languages, constraint ranking, etc. The constraint programming paradigm, on the other hand, shows that constraints have to be taken as a systematic whole and can thus play a role in building the structures (or can even replace structures). Finally, psycholinguistics experiment have been made, investigating the role of constraint systems for cognitive processes in comprehension and production, as well as addressing how they can be acquired.

CSLP is open to submissions on topics including, but not limited to:

Constraints in human language comprehension and production

Context modelling and discourse interpretation

Acquisition of constraints

Constraints and learning

Cross-theoretical view of the notion of constraint

New advances in constraint-based linguistic theories

Constraint satisfaction (CS) technologies for NLP

Linguistic analysis and linguistic theories biased towards CS or constraint logic programming (CLP)

Application of CS or CLP for NLP

CS and CLP for other than textual or spoken languages, e.g., sign languages and biological, multimodal human-computer interaction, visual languages

Probabilistic constraint-based reasoning for NLP and context comprehension

CSLP accepts two kinds of submissions:

full papers (12 pages including references) reporting completed, significant research,

short papers (6 pages including references) reporting ongoing work and partial results.

Previously published papers cannot be accepted. The submissions will be reviewed by the international program committee. One author for each accepted paper must attend the workshop in order to present the paper.
