4 - 8 December 2017, Non-classical Modal and Predicate Logics:The 9th International Workshop on Logic and Cognition (WOLC2017), Guangzhou, China

Date: 4 - 8 December 2017
Location: Guangzhou, China
Deadline: Friday 1 September 2017

Modalities and predicates have since ancient times been central notions of logic. In the 20th century, various systems of non-classical logics emerged, with applications mainly in Computer Science, but also in many other disciplines such as Linguistics, Mathematics, and Philosophy. Both the theoretical studies and the needs of applications gave rise to the questions of non-classical treatment of quantification and modalities and their accommodation in these non-classical logics. In response, various modal and predicate variants of non-classical logics have been introduced and studied in the past decades.

Although there are many good conferences on (mainly propositional) non-classical logics, this conference is one solely dedicated to modal and predicate non-classical logics. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers in both pure and applied aspects of various branches of non-classical logics, not only to present recent advances in their particular fields, but mainly foster the exchange of ideas between researchers focusing on (1) separate branches of non-classical logic and (2) foundational and applied issues.

We invite submissions on both (a) theoretical topics from all branches of mathematical logic (e.g., proof-theory, model theory, game theory, computational complexity, etc.), as well as (b) their applications in various areas (including computer science, linguistics, mathematics, philosophy, etc.). Strong papers on propositional logics can also be accepted, provided they relate to the themes in the main scope of the conference (e.g., the study of completions in algebraic semantics, propositional quantification, etc.).

20 - 22 December 2017, 21st Amsterdam Colloquium (AC'2017), Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Date: 20 - 22 December 2017
Location: Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Deadline: Friday 1 September 2017

The Amsterdam Colloquia aim at bringing together linguists, philosophers, logicians, cognitive scientists and computer scientists who share an interest in the formal study of the semantics and pragmatics of natural and formal languages. The 21st Amsterdam Colloquium will feature two workshops on Causality and Semantics and on Formal and Distributional Perspectives on Meaning; and one evening lecture, jointly organized with the E.W. Beth Foundation.

The Programme Committee cordially invites all researchers to submit their papers for presentation. The rules for submissions for the regular programme and the workshops are the same. Authors can submit an anonymous abstract of at most two pages.  The proceedings of the Amsterdam Colloquium will be downloadable from the AC website during the conference.

4 September 2017, Workshop on Recent Advances in Concurrency & Logic (RADICAL 2017), Berlin, Germany

Date: Monday 4 September 2017
Location: Berlin, Germany
Deadline: Friday 30 June 2017

RADICAL is a new workshop aligned within the intersection between concurrency and logic, broadly construed.

Recently, the interplay of concurrency and logic with areas/applications has received much attention, as witnessed by recent CONCUR editions. These areas/applications have become increasingly consolidated, and start to have profound impact in neighbouring communities. As an unfortunate side effect, however, the important unifying role that concurrency plays in all of them seems hard to find in a single scientific event.  RADICAL intends to fill a gap between CONCUR researchers that now also typically publish and interact in other different venues; it also aims at attracting researchers from neighbouring communities whose work naturally intersects with CONCUR.

4 September 2017, Workshop "From minimal to complex collective actions", Milan, Italy

Date: Monday 4 September 2017
Location: Milan, Italy

This workshop aims at bringing together philosophers of mind and action to discuss the interrelation between minimal and complex collective actions from different angles. Questions include (but are not restricted to): What are the minimal criteria for there to be a collective action? How do minimal or basic cases of joint action come into existence and how do they interrelate with more complex cases that may take place in larger groups and in institutional frameworks? Are complex collective actions reducible to a set of minimal collective actions? Are non-human animals able to engage in minimal collective action? What is the developmental basis of minimal and complex collective actions? What are the implications of minimal collective action for social science? What is the contribution of neuroscience to our understanding of collective action?

Keynote Speakers: Stephen Butterfill (University of Warwick), Sara Rachel Chant (Tulane University) and Kirk Ludwig (University of Bloomington).

8 - 9 September 2017, 1st Annual Workshop on String Diagrams in Computation, Logic, and Physics (STRING 2017), Oxford, England

Date: 8 - 9 September 2017
Location: Oxford, England
Deadline: Friday 30 June 2017

String diagrams are a powerful tool for reasoning about processes and composition. Originally developed as a convenient notation for the arrows of monoidal and higher categories, they are increasingly used in the formal study of digital circuits, control theory, concurrency, quantum and classical computation, natural language processes, logic and more. String diagrams combine the advantages of formal syntax with intuitive aspects: the graphical nature of terms means that they often reflect the topology of systems under consideration. Moreover, diagrammatic reasoning transforms formal arguments into dynamic, moving images, thus building domain specific intuitions, valuable both for practitioners and pedagogy.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers from diverse backgrounds and specialities to collaborate and share their insights, tools, and techniques. It will furthermore provide an informal atmosphere in a unique venue: the upstairs of the Jericho Tavern, a music venue, where famously Radiohead played their first concert. All the usual conference facilities will be provided, and the distinctive location will provide plenty of opportunities to discuss and share ideas. STRING 2017 is a satellite event of FSCD 2017  and will be co-located with the 3rd Higher-Dimensional Rewriting and Applications.

8 - 9 September 2017, 1st Annual Workshop on String Diagrams in Computation, Logic, and Physics (STRING 2017), Oxford, England

Date: 8 - 9 September 2017
Location: Oxford, England
Deadline: Friday 30 June 2017

String diagrams are a powerful tool for reasoning about processes and composition. Originally developed as a convenient notation for the arrows of monoidal and higher categories, they are increasingly used in the formal study of digital circuits, control theory, concurrency, quantum and classical computation, natural language processes, logic and more. String diagrams combine the advantages of formal syntax with intuitive aspects: the graphical nature of terms means that they often reflect the topology of systems under consideration. Moreover, diagrammatic reasoning transforms formal arguments into dynamic, moving images, thus building domain specific intuitions, valuable both for practitioners and pedagogy.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers from diverse backgrounds and specialities to collaborate and share their insights, tools, and techniques. It will furthermore provide an informal atmosphere in a unique venue: the upstairs of the Jericho Tavern, a music venue, where famously Radiohead played their first concert. All the usual conference facilities will be provided, and the distinctive location will provide plenty of opportunities to discuss and share ideas. STRING 2017 is a satellite event of FSCD 2017  and will be co-located with the 3rd Higher-Dimensional Rewriting and Applications.

21 September 2017, 3L workshop: Language, Learning, Logic, London, England

Date: Thursday 21 September 2017
Location: London, England
Deadline: Sunday 10 September 2017

There is widespread agreement that AI has grown over the years into a fragmented landscape of sub-disciplines with a narrow focus. Specialisation has certainly facilitated great advances within the sub-disciplines and AI overall, but fragmentation has created a silos mentality which hinders cross-fertilisation and further advancements within AI.

This workshop will bring together researchers from three broad AI areas, namely natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML) and logic-based symbolic AI, to discuss and explore opportunities for cross-fertilisation centered around NLP. The workshop also aims at discussing and identifying possible directions for future research at the intersection of NLP, ML and symbolic AI.

To attend and give a presentation, please submit a 2-page abstract of your intended presentation via Easy Chair. To attend without presenting, please submit a half-page summary of your research interests and previous (relevant) research, also via Easy Chair.

9 - 10 November 2017, Workshop "Logic in the Wild", Gent, Belgium

Date: 9 - 10 November 2017
Location: Gent, Belgium
Deadline: Sunday 10 September 2017

Nowadays we are witnessing a ‘practical’, or cognitive turn in logic. The approach draws on enormous achievements of a legion of formal and mathematical logicians, but focuses on `the Wild: actual human processes of reasoning and argumentation. Moreover, high standards of inquiry that we owe to formal logicians offer a new quality in research on reasoning and argumentation. In terms of John Corcoran’s distinction between logic as formal ontology and logic as formal epistemology, the aim of the practical turn is to make formal epistemology even more epistemically oriented. This is not to say that this ‘practically turned’ (or cognitively oriented) logic becomes just a part of psychology. This is to say that this logic aquires a new task of “systematically keeping track of changing representations of information”, as Johan van Benthem puts it, and that it contests the claim that the distinction between descriptive and normative accounts of reasoning is disjoint and exhaustive. From a different than purely psychological perspective logic becomes — again — interested in answering Dewey’s question about the Wild: how do we think? This is the new alluring face of psychologism, or cognitivism, in logic, as opposed to the old one, which Frege and Husserl fought against. This is the area of research to which this workshop is devoted.

We welcome submissions on any topic that fits into the scope as described above.

7 - 12 September 2017, Conference & Workshop on Set Theoretic & Topological Methods in Model Theory, Tezpur, India

Date: 7 - 12 September 2017
Location: Tezpur, India

The aim of this programme is to bring together mathematicians and logicians working on/interested in various topics on the border of model theory, topology and set theory. The leading themes are topological dynamics and descriptive set theoretic methods in model theory. Apart from the state of the art lectures by leading experts, two tutorials, each consisting of 3 one-hour talks on the main themes of the meeting, are being planned. The meeting will give opportunity for discussion and collaboration between experts from different but related parts of logic. This may result in the future in discovering new interactions between model theory, topology and set theory.

Location: Verona, Italy

The 1st Summer School on Formal Methods for Cyber-Physical Systems (FM-CPS) focuses on the foundations, techniques, and tools for analysis, verification, control, synthesis, implementation, and applications of cyber-physical systems (CPS). Applications deal broadly with engineering and natural systems, including signal circuits, robotics, automotive and avionics, large-scale infrastructure networks, as well as biochemical and physiological processes.

This first edition of the school has the goal of presenting the state of the art of the current techniques in controller synthesis for hybrid systems, to enable doctoral students and young researchers to advance the field and apply the developed methodologies to concrete scenarios promoting their application in the industrial practice. The control synthesis problem will be addressed both in the discrete domain and in the timed/hybrid one with techniques ranging from supervisory control, to synthesizing strategies in a two-player game, and to control-theoretic techniques.

The school will include tutorial presentations as well as laboratory sessions that will allow the students to apply the concepts introduced during the lectures in a laboratory set-up.

12 - 16 September 2017, 1st Summer School on Formal Methods for Cyber-Physical Systems, Verona, Italy

Date: 12 - 16 September 2017
Location: Verona, Italy

The 1st Summer School on Formal Methods for Cyber-Physical Systems (FM-CPS) focuses on the foundations, techniques, and tools for analysis, verification, control, synthesis, implementation, and applications of cyber-physical systems (CPS). Applications deal broadly with engineering and natural systems, including signal circuits, robotics, automotive and avionics, large-scale infrastructure networks, as well as biochemical and physiological processes.

This first edition of the school has the goal of presenting the state of the art of the current techniques in controller synthesis for hybrid systems, to enable doctoral students and young researchers to advance the field and apply the developed methodologies to concrete scenarios promoting their application in the industrial practice. The control synthesis problem will be addressed both in the discrete domain and in the timed/hybrid one with techniques ranging from supervisory control, to synthesizing strategies in a two-player game, and to control-theoretic techniques.

The school will include tutorial presentations as well as laboratory sessions that will allow the students to apply the concepts introduced during the lectures in a laboratory set-up.

14 - 15 September 2017, Workshop "Attitudes in Context", Regensburg, Germany

Date: 14 - 15 September 2017
Location: Regensburg, Germany

"Attitudes in Context" is an interdisciplinary workshop with philosophers and psychologists on recent developments and problems in the theory of attitudes. Philosophical debates on the nature of attitudes ? triggered by phenomena of behavioral inconsistency ? have received novel input from psychological methods of measuring attitudes. In turn, the debate on techniques of measuring attitudes in psychology has led to discussions of foundational issues in attitude theory. This workshop creates a shared floor for discussing attitude theory and recent empirical results.

14 - 15 September 2017, HComp-NL Symposium "Data Science with Humans in the Loop” on the occasion of the inaugural lecture of Prof. Dr. Lora Aroyo

21 - 26 June 2018, Workshop on Proof Theory at UNILOG 2018, Vichy, France

Date: 21 - 26 June 2018
Location: Vichy, France
Deadline: Friday 15 September 2017

We organize a one-day workshop on proof theory at the 6th World Congress on Universal Logic. Keynote speakers are Francesca Poggiolesi (Paris) and Alexander Leitsch (Vienna). Organisers: Peter Schroeder-Heister and Thomas Piecha.

We invite contributions on all aspects of proof theory, philosophical or technical.

21 - 26 June 2018, Workshop on Logical Correctness at UNILOG 2018, Vichy (France)

Date: 21 - 26 June 2018
Location: Vichy (France)
Deadline: Friday 15 September 2017

Typically, logical correctness is taken to concern whether or not an argument or proof follows a logical path from premises to conclusions. In recent years, however, such a view has been complicated by the proliferation of logics, approaches to logic, and uses of logic. In this workshop, we intend to discuss the philosophical and logical consequences of these changes with regard to how, or if, there is any sort of criteria by which a logical structure could be deemed correct, and whether or not those criteria are context-relevant in some specifiable manner.

Keynote speaker: Ole HJORTLAND (University of Bergen, Norway).

We invite abstracts for papers dealing with any of the workshop topics (though not necessarily limited to them).

24 - 25 June 2018, Workshop "Logic & Music" at UNILOG 2018, Vichy, France

Date: 24 - 25 June 2018
Location: Vichy, France
Deadline: Friday 15 September 2017

Keynote Speaker: Thomas Noll (Barcelona, Spain)

Description: This workshop shall represent a privileged platform to make an important step forward to new universal approaches to logic(s) of music. The Workshop focuses on the relatively autonomous approaches to logic(s) of music and musical logic, i.e. logic in pieces of musical compositions. We invite composers, conductors, musicians and musicologists interested in the interplay between logic and music to submit a paper or just active participation. Another objective is to bring together researchers from all over the world into closer contact.

Contributed talks should not exceed a duration of 30 minutes including discussion.

16 - 26 June 2018, Workshop on Model Theory at UNILOG 2018, Vichy, France

Date: 16 - 26 June 2018
Location: Vichy, France
Deadline: Friday 15 September 2017

We organize a workshop on Classification Questions
in Model Theory at UNILOG 2018. Keynote speaker of Workshop: Professor Bruno Poizat (Lyon).

Model theory is the branch of mathematical logic dealing with the connection between a formal language and its interpretations, or models, i.e., it represents links between syntactic and semantic objects. These objects can be used to classify each others producing structural classifications of theories and their models. Solving classification questions valuable characteristics arise (dimensions, ranks, complexities, spectra etc.) for various classes of structures and their theories.

We invite contributions on all aspects of Model Theory.

21 September 2017, 3L workshop: Language, Learning, Logic, London, England

Date: Thursday 21 September 2017
Location: London, England
Deadline: Sunday 10 September 2017

There is widespread agreement that AI has grown over the years into a fragmented landscape of sub-disciplines with a narrow focus. Specialisation has certainly facilitated great advances within the sub-disciplines and AI overall, but fragmentation has created a silos mentality which hinders cross-fertilisation and further advancements within AI.

This workshop will bring together researchers from three broad AI areas, namely natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML) and logic-based symbolic AI, to discuss and explore opportunities for cross-fertilisation centered around NLP. The workshop also aims at discussing and identifying possible directions for future research at the intersection of NLP, ML and symbolic AI.

Location: Bozen-Bolzano (Italy)
Target audience: Philosophers, Logicians, Computer Scientists, Ontologists
Deadline: Monday 17 July 2017

Formal ontologies and knowledge representation mainly focus on characterising how a given domain is structured, i.e., they identify a set of concepts, entities, and relations together with the constraints that hold for this domain. The structure of the characterisation is usually intended to reflect the point of view of significant experts or a realist view of how things about a particular domain are. The aim of this workshop is to explore an epistemological stance in formal ontology and knowledge representation and focus on the assessment of the modelling provided by the ontology designer. In particular, we are interested in fostering the discussion about two intertwined research directions, the Epistemological Foundations of Ontologies and the Ontologies of Epistemology.

This workshop is part of The Joint Ontology Workshops, Episode III, JOWO 2017.

It is a meeting with a familiar, friendly atmosphere, where everyone (not only the German community) interested in deduction can report on their work in an informal setting.

A particular focus of the Deduktionstreffen is on young researchers and students, who are particularly encouraged to present their ongoing research projects to a wider audience. Another goal of the meeting is to stimulate networking effects and to foster collaborative research projects. Deduktionstreffen 2017 is associated with KI 2017.

25 - 29 September 2017, 11th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2017), Brasilia, Brazil

Date: 25 - 29 September 2017
Location: Brasilia, Brazil
Deadline: Monday 1 May 2017

In various areas of computer science, such as logic, computation, program development and verification, artificial intelligence, knowledge representation, and automated reasoning, there is an obvious need for using specialized formalisms and inference systems for selected tasks. To be usable in practice, these specialized systems must be combined with each other and integrated into general purpose systems. This has led - in many research areas - to the development of techniques and methods for the combination and integration of dedicated formal systems, as well as for their modularization and analysis.

The International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS) traditionally focusses on these types of research questions and activities. Like its predecessors, FroCoS 2017 seeks to offer a common forum for research in the general area of combination, modularization, and integration of systems, with emphasis on logic-based ones, and of their practical use.

FroCoS 2017 will be co-located with the 26th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods (TABLEAUX 2017) and the 8th International Conference on Interactive Theorem-­Proving (ITP 2017).

Date: 25 - 29 September 2017
Location: Brasilia, Brazil
Deadline: Friday 28 April 2017

TABLEAUX is the main international conference at which research on all aspects, theoretical foundations, implementation techniques, systems development and applications, of the mechanization of tableau-based reasoning and related methods is presented.

Tableau methods offer a convenient and flexible set of tools for automated reasoning in classical logic, extensions of classical logic, and a large number of non-classical logics. For large groups of logics, tableau methods can be generated automatically. Areas of application include verification of software and computer systems, deductive databases, knowledge representation and its required inference engines, teaching, and system diagnosis.

TABLEAUX 2017 will be co-located with both the 11th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2017) and the 8th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2017).

25 - 29 September 2017, Summer School on computer simulation methods, Stuttgart, Germany

Date: 25 - 29 September 2017
Location: Stuttgart, Germany
Deadline: Tuesday 30 May 2017

The transformation of science through computer simulation is often considered to be a methodological one. A lot of literature has been dedicated to determining the relationship between computer simulation, experiments or theories as the classical sources of knowledge. This relation is both methodologically and technically complex. On the one hand, it is difficult for philosophers, social scientists, and historians to gain detailed insight into the methods used among practitioners. On the other hand, for computer scientists and practitioners in general, the methodological limitations and design constraints that simulation techniques impose on hypothesis formulation and testing may not be obvious. The summer school addresses these problems by offering lectures and tutorials on computer simulation methods for scholars from the humanities, social sciences, and computer science.

The morning sessions will include lectures by faculty members, focusing on the philosophical, methodological, and technical aspects of different simulation techniques (including numerical methods, software techniques, visualization, agent-based modelling, and computational experiments). These will be followed by project presentations by participants. The afternoons will be dedicated to hands-on tutorials by practitioners. Finally, in the evenings, distinguished scholars will offer lectures on the most inspiring and exciting issues in this increasingly important research area.

25 - 29 September 2017, 6th Workshop on Dynamics of Knowledge and Belief (DKB-2017) and 5th Workshop KI & Kognition (KIK-2017), Dortmund, Germany

Date: 25 - 29 September 2017
Location: Dortmund, Germany
Deadline: Saturday 1 July 2017

Knowledge representation offers a rich palette of methods for uncertain reasoning both to describe human reasoning and to model AI approaches. Its many facets like qualitative vs. quantitative reasoning, defeasible and analogical reasoning, argumentation and negotiation in multi-agent systems, causal reasoning for action and planning, as well as nonmonotonicity and belief revision, among many others, have become very active fields of research. Beyond computational aspects, these methods aim to reflect the rich variety of human reasoning in uncertain and dynamic environments.

The aim of this series of workshops is to address recent challenges and to present novel approaches to uncertain reasoning and belief change in their broad senses, and in particular provide a forum for research work linking different paradigms of reasoning.

25 - 29 September 2017, 11th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2017), Brasilia, Brazil

Date: 25 - 29 September 2017
Location: Brasilia, Brazil
Deadline: Monday 1 May 2017

In various areas of computer science, such as logic, computation, program development and verification, artificial intelligence, knowledge representation, and automated reasoning, there is an obvious need for using specialized formalisms and inference systems for selected tasks. To be usable in practice, these specialized systems must be combined with each other and integrated into general purpose systems. This has led - in many research areas - to the development of techniques and methods for the combination and integration of dedicated formal systems, as well as for their modularization and analysis.

The International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS) traditionally focusses on these types of research questions and activities. Like its predecessors, FroCoS 2017 seeks to offer a common forum for research in the general area of combination, modularization, and integration of systems, with emphasis on logic-based ones, and of their practical use.

FroCoS 2017 will be co-located with the 26th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods (TABLEAUX 2017) and the 8th International Conference on Interactive Theorem-­Proving (ITP 2017).

25 - 29 September 2017, 26th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods (TABLEAUX 2017), Brasilia, Brazil

Date: 25 - 29 September 2017
Location: Brasilia, Brazil
Deadline: Friday 28 April 2017

TABLEAUX is the main international conference at which research on all aspects, theoretical foundations, implementation techniques, systems development and applications, of the mechanization of tableau-based reasoning and related methods is presented.

Tableau methods offer a convenient and flexible set of tools for automated reasoning in classical logic, extensions of classical logic, and a large number of non-classical logics. For large groups of logics, tableau methods can be generated automatically. Areas of application include verification of software and computer systems, deductive databases, knowledge representation and its required inference engines, teaching, and system diagnosis.

TABLEAUX 2017 will be co-located with both the 11th International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS 2017) and the 8th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2017).

25 - 29 September 2017, Summer School on computer simulation methods, Stuttgart, Germany

Date: 25 - 29 September 2017
Location: Stuttgart, Germany
Deadline: Tuesday 30 May 2017

The transformation of science through computer simulation is often considered to be a methodological one. A lot of literature has been dedicated to determining the relationship between computer simulation, experiments or theories as the classical sources of knowledge. This relation is both methodologically and technically complex. On the one hand, it is difficult for philosophers, social scientists, and historians to gain detailed insight into the methods used among practitioners. On the other hand, for computer scientists and practitioners in general, the methodological limitations and design constraints that simulation techniques impose on hypothesis formulation and testing may not be obvious. The summer school addresses these problems by offering lectures and tutorials on computer simulation methods for scholars from the humanities, social sciences, and computer science.

The morning sessions will include lectures by faculty members, focusing on the philosophical, methodological, and technical aspects of different simulation techniques (including numerical methods, software techniques, visualization, agent-based modelling, and computational experiments). These will be followed by project presentations by participants. The afternoons will be dedicated to hands-on tutorials by practitioners. Finally, in the evenings, distinguished scholars will offer lectures on the most inspiring and exciting issues in this increasingly important research area.

25 - 29 September 2017, 6th Workshop on Dynamics of Knowledge and Belief (DKB-2017) and 5th Workshop KI & Kognition (KIK-2017), Dortmund, Germany

Date: 25 - 29 September 2017
Location: Dortmund, Germany
Deadline: Saturday 1 July 2017

Knowledge representation offers a rich palette of methods for uncertain reasoning both to describe human reasoning and to model AI approaches. Its many facets like qualitative vs. quantitative reasoning, defeasible and analogical reasoning, argumentation and negotiation in multi-agent systems, causal reasoning for action and planning, as well as nonmonotonicity and belief revision, among many others, have become very active fields of research. Beyond computational aspects, these methods aim to reflect the rich variety of human reasoning in uncertain and dynamic environments.

The aim of this series of workshops is to address recent challenges and to present novel approaches to uncertain reasoning and belief change in their broad senses, and in particular provide a forum for research work linking different paradigms of reasoning.

Courses offered at NASSLLI range from intensive, graduate level introductory courses to inter-disciplinary workshops featuring prominent researchers presenting their work in progress.

NASSLLI 2018 will consist of a series of courses and workshops, most running daily from Monday June 25 - Friday June 29. In addition, there will be intensive training in a small set of foundational topics the weekend prior to the start of courses (Saturday June 23 - Sunday June 24). Students will have the opportunity to present work at student sessions throughout the event; the call for student submissions will be circulated in early 2018.

We invite proposals for courses and workshops that address topics of relevance to NASSLLI's central goal. We particularly encourage submissions which illustrate cross-disciplinary approaches, especially courses showing the applicability of computational methods to theoretical work, and the use of theoretical work in practical applications. Courses involving a hands-on component (e.g. actual experience with NLP tools, coding, or machine learning algorithms) will be very welcome. We also welcome proposals from researchers and practitioners working on relevant areas in the technology industries. Courses and workshops should aim to be accessible to an interdisciplinary, graduate level audience.
