SUMMARY:2012 Workshop on Computational Models of N
 arrative (CMN 2012), Istanbul, Turkey
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120526

LOCATION:Istanbul, Turkey
DESCRIPTION:Narratives are ubiquitous in human exp
 erience. We use them to communicate, convince, exp
 lain, and entertain. As far as we know, every soci
 ety in the world has narratives, which suggests th
 ey are rooted in our psychology and serve an impor
 tant cognitive function. It is becoming increasing
 ly clear that, to truly understand and explain hum
 an intelligence, beliefs, and behaviors, we will h
 ave to understand why narrative is universal and e
 xplain (or explain away) the function it serves.  
  This meeting will be an appropriate venue for pap
 ers addressing fundamental topics and questions re
 garding narrative. Moreover, the meeting will have
  a special focus on the identification, collection
 , and construction of shared resources and corpora
  that facilitate the computational modeling of nar
 rative. Papers should focus on issues fundamental 
 to computational modeling and scientific understan
 ding, or issues related to building shared resourc
 es to advance the field.   For more information, s

 ramme Committee cordially invites all researchers 
 to submit their papers for presentation. Submissio
 ns due: February 24, 2012
