Large-scale corpora with corresponding annotations (word sense s, propositions, attributions and discourse relati ons) are making it possible to develop statistical models for many tasks and applications. However, developments in lexical and sentence-level semanti cs remain largely distinct from those in discourse semantics. This workshop aims at bridging this ga p by bringing together researchers to discuss how multiple levels of semantics can be integrated and implemented in various applications. Our goal i s to gather and showcase theoretical and computati onal approaches to joint models of semantics, and applications that incorporate multi-level semantic s. We hope to bring together researchers from vari ous areas: computational linguistics who strive fo r more expressive models of language understanding , linguists and cognitive scientists interested in aspects of representing text with multiple levels of semantics, machine learning researchers intere sted in joint inference over different types of se mantic cues, and also researchers who are interest ed in applications that require or will benefit fr om multi-level semantics. A dialog between researc hers has great potential to advance work in each o f these areas and bring about more powerful and en riched models of text semantics.

Imp roved computational models of semantics hold great promise for applications in language technology, be it semantics at the lexical level, sentence lev el or discourse level. Large-scale corpora with co rresponding annotations (word senses, propositions , attributions and discourse relations) are making it possible to develop statistical models for man y tasks and applications. However, developments in lexical and sentence-level semantics remain large ly distinct from those in discourse semantics. Thi s workshop aims at bridging this gap by bringing t ogether researchers to discuss how multiple levels of semantics can be integrated and implemented in various applications.\n
\nO ur goal is to gather and showcase theoretical and computational approaches to joint models of semant ics, and applications that incorporate multi-level semantics. We hope to bring together researchers from various areas: computational linguistics who strive for more expressive models of language unde rstanding, linguists and cognitive scientists inte rested in aspects of representing text with multip le levels of semantics, machine learning researche rs interested in joint inference over different ty pes of semantic cues, and also researchers who are interested in applications that require or will b enefit from multi-level semantics. A dialog betwee n researchers has great potential to advance work in each of these areas and bring about more powerf ul and enriched models of text semantics.
