The workshop is a continuation and extension of the Workshop on Semantic Spaces at the Intersection of NLP, Physics and Cognitive Science, held in June 2016. The ability to compos e parts to form a more complex whole, and to analy ze a whole as a combination of elements, is desira ble across disciplines. In this workshop we bring together researchers applying compositional approa ches to NLP, Physics, Cognitive Science, and Game Theory. The categorical model of Coecke et al. [20 10], inspired by quantum protocols, has provided a convincing account of compositionality in vector space models of NLP. Similar category-theoretic ap proaches have been applied in cognitive science, a nd now are being extended to game theory.

Compositi onal Approaches for Physics, NLP, and Social Scien ces (CAPNS 2018) will be colocated with QI 2018. The workshop is a continu ation and extension of the Wo rkshop on Semantic Spaces at the Intersection of N LP, Physics and Cognitive Science, held in Jun e 2016.

The ability to compose parts t o form a more complex whole, and to analyze a whol e as a combination of elements, is desirable acros s disciplines. In this workshop we bring together researchers applying compositional approaches to N LP, Physics, Cognitive Science, and Game Theory. T he categorical model of Coecke et al. [2010], insp ired by quantum protocols, has provided a convinci ng account of compositionality in vector space mod els of NLP. Similar category-theoretic approaches have been applied in cognitive science, and now ar e being extended to game theory. The interplay bet ween the three disciplines will foster theoretical ly motivated approaches to understanding how meani ngs of words interact in sentences and discourse, how concepts develop, and how complex games can be analyzed. Commonalities between the compositional mechanisms employed may be extracted, and applica tions and phenomena traditionally thought of as 'n on-compositional' will be examined.
