Semantic Spaces at the Intersection of NLP, Physics, and Co gnitive Science (SemSpace2020) is the latest editi on of a series of workshops that brings together r esearch at the intersection of NLP, Physics, and C ognitive Science. Using the common ground of vecto r spaces, the workshop offers researchers in these areas an appropriate forum for presenting their u niquely motivated work and ideas. The interplay be tween the three disciplines will foster theoretica lly motivated approaches to understanding how mean ings of words interact with each other in sentence s and discourse via grammatical types, how they ar e determined by input from the world, and how word and sentence meanings interact logically.
\n\nCOVID-19 note: the workshop will take place, either in an online format or in person if the sit uation allows. Since ESSLLI 2020 (with which the w orkshop was originally to be co-located) has been cancelled, the dates and location may be subject t o slight change.
\nSubmission to the main SEMSPACE workshop can be original con tributions (up to 16 pages) of previously unpublis hed work (submission of substantial, albeit partia l results of work in progress is welcomed), or ext ended abstracts (3 pages) of previously published work that is recent and relevant to the workshop.< /p>\n\n
A special sessio n will address the relevance of formal grammar met hods in deep learning and other statistical and ve ctor space approaches to language. This session wa s originally planned to be held jointly with the F ormal Grammar conference which has been cancelled. We welcome papers that were submitted for the joi nt FG/SemSpace session as SemSpace submissions und er the present CfP.
