Location: Leuven, Belgium
Deadline: Friday 1 March 2024

The Student Session of the 35th European Summer School in Logic, Language, and Information (ESSLLI) will take place at ESSLLI 2024, on 29 July - 9 August 2024 in Leuven, Belgium. This is an excellent opportunity for students to receive valuable feedback from expert readers and to present their work to a diverse audience.

We invite submissions of original, unpublished work from students in any area related to Logic & Language, Language & Computation, or Logic & Computation in the form of long (8 pages) or short (4 pages) papers (including references, figures, etc.). Submissions will be reviewed by several experts in the field. Accepted long papers will be presented as talks, while short papers will be presented as posters. Short papers are especially suited for smaller or in-progress research works.

For both long and short papers, the best contributions (submission plus presentation) will receive an award. In previous years Springer has supported the ESSLLI Student Session by offering prizes of vouchers for Springer books. We aim to offer the same prizes this year. Such prizes will be awarded based on the content and quality of the paper and the presentation at ESSLLI . The ideas presented should be novel and promising. The presentation at ESSLLI should be adapted to the wide variety of backgrounds that ESSLLI participants come from: everybody should be able to learn/understand something new.

15 - 17 July 2024, Formal Ethics 2024 (FE2024), Greifswald, Germany

Date: 15 - 17 July 2024
Location: Greifswald, Germany
Deadline: Friday 1 March 2024

“Formal Ethics” is a common denominator for the application of tools from logic, decision theory, game theory, and social choice theory to the analysis of concepts and theories in moral and political philosophy. It is a rapidly growing field of research that goes back to the work of Kenneth Arrow, Amartya Sen, John Harsanyi, Georg Henrik von Wright, and others. The field has recently gained new impetus with formal work on freedom and responsibility, welfare economics and population ethics, deontic logic and natural language semantics, value theory, and the evolution of norms and conventions.

Invited speakers: Justin Bruner (University at Buffalo), Fabrizio Cariani (University of Maryland) and Anne Schwenkenbecher (Murdoch University).

Formal Ethics 2024 will feature a single track for contributed talks of 40-45 minutes. Authors should submit an extended abstract (1000 words max, pdf format) via Easychair. Submissions in all areas of formal ethics, broadly construed, are welcome. Contributions need not be formal in nature but should show familiarity with applying formal tools and results to ethical investigations. We welcome and strongly encourage submissions from members of underrepresented groups, as well as early career researchers and students. All submissions should be prepared for anonymous review.

28 February - 1 March 2024, Computational approaches to metaphor & figurative language (DGfS 2024), Bochum, Germany

Date: 28 February - 1 March 2024
Location: Bochum, Germany
Deadline: Friday 1 September 2023

Workshop at the Annual Conference of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS 2024).

Figurative and non-literal language, such as metaphor, metonymy, or personification, poses a special challenge for computational analysis, since these expressions are not used with their usual, ordinary meanings, as represented in corpus data or recorded in lexical resources, but with different, derived meanings.

We aim to bring together computational linguists working on the automatic analysis of non-literal language. A special focus will be on non-conventionalized usages, such as novel metaphors or innovative forms of metonymy. In addition, we are particularly interested in approaches applicable to languages other than English, for example low-resource languages or domains.

Date: 26 - 28 June 2024
Location: Salamanca, Spain
Deadline: Friday 15 March 2024

Computational and technological developments that incorporate natural language and reasoning methods are proliferating. Adequate coverage encounters difficult problems related to the phenomena of partiality, underspecification, perspectives of agents, and context dependency. These phenomena are signature features of information in nature, natural languages, and reasoning.

The session covers theoretical work, applications, approaches, and techniques for computational models of information, language (artificial, human, or natural in other ways), reasoning. The goal is to promote computational systems and related models of language, thought, reasoning, and other related processes.

We invite contributions relevant to the session topics, without being limited to them, across approaches, methods, theories, implementations, and applications. The papers must consist of original, relevant, and previously unpublished, sound research results related to any of the topics of the Special Session CLIRAI.

DCAI Special Session papers must be formatted according to the Template of Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (LNNS), Springer, with a maximum length of 10 pages in length, including figures and references. All accepted, registered, and presented papers will be published by the series Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems (LNNS), Springer. At least one of the authors of an accepted paper will be required to register and attend the symposium to present the paper in order to include it in the conference proceedings.

1 - 5 July 2024, 14th Panhellenic Logic Symposium (PLS14), Thessaloniki, Greece

Date: 1 - 5 July 2024
Location: Thessaloniki, Greece
Deadline: Friday 22 March 2024

The Panhellenic Logic Symposium (PLS), a biennial scientific event established in 1997, aims to promote interaction and cross-fertilization among different areas of logic. Originally conceived as a way of bringing together the many logicians of Hellenic descent throughout the world, it has evolved into an international forum for the communication of state-of-the-art advances in logic. The symposium is open to researchers worldwide who work in logic broadly conceived.

The Scientific Committee invites all researchers in the areas of the conference to submit their papers for presentation at PLS14. Areas of interest include (but are not limited to) Computability theory, Model theory, Set theory, Proof theory, Categorical logic, Philosophical logic, Nonclassical and modal logics, and Logic in Computer Science. Accepted papers will appear in an informal, electronic proceedings volume, which will be posted on the event's webpage. During the actual event, each accepted paper should be presented by at least one of its authors.

Graduate students and early-career researchers are invited to submit a short, 1-page abstract on preliminary work that may not be ready for a full talk yet. Those accepted will be able to present their work in poster form in a special poster session. The session will also feature a mentoring component in which senior researchers will discuss the posters and provide feedback to the authors.

30 - 31 March 2024, 4th Tsinghua Interdisciplinary Workshop on Logic, Language and Meaning (TLLM IV): "The Connectives in Logic and Language", Beijing, China

Date: 30 - 31 March 2024
Location: Beijing, China
Deadline: Saturday 25 November 2023

The propositional connectives – and, or, not, if-then, etc. – are fundamental building blocks in formal as well as natural languages. Propositional Logic is the fundament of practically all current systems of logic; every beginning logic course starts with it. Still, the proof theory and semantics of systems of propositional logic are far from trivial, and have been studied intensely by logicians in the last one and a half century, not least in recent decades. Perhaps the most familiar recent work in this area concerns conditionals in formal and natural languages. In this workshop we also focus on the apparently simpler connectives expressing (various versions of) conjunction, disjunction, and negation.

Researchers working from a cross-linguistic perspective also focus on how the connectives are encoded in different languages, and ask whether classical logic is capable of capturing the variations and universals exhibited. There is also growing interest in the acquisition and processing of natural language connectives. In the context of the hotly discussed Large Language Models (LLMs), understanding connectives presents novel challenges that deserve in-depth exploration.

The idea behind the TLLM workshops is to bring together logicians and linguists around a specific theme of common interest. Thus, we welcome contributions on any general or particular aspect of the propositional connectives in logic or languag.
