The summe r school is aimed at graduate students and advance d undergraduates in the fields of Linguistics, Com puter Science, Cognitive Science, Logic, Philosoph y, and other related areas. NASSLLI brings these d isciplines together with the goal of producing exc ellence in the study of how minds and machines rep resent, communicate, manipulate and reason with in formation. NASSLLI provides a venue where students and researchers from one discipline can learn app roaches, frameworks and tools from related discipl ines to apply to their own work. Courses offered a t NASSLLI range from intensive, graduate level int roductory courses to inter-disciplinary workshops featuring prominent researchers presenting their w ork in progress.
\n\nNASSLLI 2018 will con sist of a series of courses and workshops, most ru nning daily from Monday June 25 - Friday June 29. In addition, there will be intensive training in a small set of foundational topics the weekend prio r to the start of courses (Saturday June 23 - Sund ay June 24). Students will have the opportunity to present work at student sessions throughout the e vent; the call for student submissions will be cir culated in early 2018.
\nWe i nvite proposals for courses and workshops that add ress topics of relevance to NASSLLI's central goal . We particularly encourage submissions which illu strate cross-disciplinary approaches, especially c ourses showing the applicability of computational methods to theoretical work, and the use of theore tical work in practical applications. Courses invo lving a hands-on component (e.g. actual experience with NLP tools, coding, or machine learning algor ithms) will be very welcome. We also welcome propo sals from researchers and practitioners working on relevant areas in the technology industries. Cour ses and workshops should aim to be accessible to a n interdisciplinary, graduate level audience.
