NLPCS 2013

10th International Workshop on

Natural Language Processing and Cognitive Science

15-16 October, 2013 (workshop), 17-18 October, 2013 (tutorials, to be confirmed)

CIRM, Marseille, France, https://sites.google.com/site/nlpcs2013/home/

The aim of this workshop is to foster interactions among researchers and practitioners in Natural

Language Processing (NLP) by taking a Cognitive Science perspective. What characterises this kind of

approach is the fact that NLP is considered from various viewpoints (linguistics, psychology,

neurosciences, artificial intelligence,...), and that a deliberate effort is made to reconcile or integrate

them into a coherent whole.

We believe that this is necessary, as the modelling of the process is simply too complex to be addressed

by a single discipline. No matter whether we deal with a natural or artificial system (people or

computers) or a combination of both (interactive NLP), systems rely on many types of very different

knowledge sources. Hence, strategies vary considerably depending on the person (novice, expert), on

the available knowledge (internal and external), and on the nature of the information processor: human,

machines or both (human-machine communication).

This being so we are interested in theoretical or applied work (including simulations). Hence, any of the

following aspects are welcomed: structure, representation and processing of information by different

agents (natural, artificial or both) and in different communication modes.
