4 September 2002, GPiL Students Introduction Meeting

Date & Time: 4 September 2002, 15:30-
Location: Room B2.35, Gebouw B, Nieuwe Achtergracht 166, Amsterdam

We are happy to invite you to an introductory meeting for new participants in the Graduate Program in Logic, where you can get to know one another, meet the staff members, and receive some practical information about the workings and rules of our institute. As part of this meeting we included the Logic Tea, a lecture series which we are certain will be of interest, and which gives you a chance to meet other ILLC members. Afterwards drinks and snacks will be served in the University Pub.

For more information, see here. We hope to see you!

4 September 2002, Logic Tea, Barteld Kooi

Date & Time: Wednesday 4 September 2002, 17:00-18:30
Speaker: Barteld Kooi (Groningen)
Title: Probabilistic Dynamic Epistemic Logic
Location: Room t.b.a., Euclides Building, Plantage Muidergracht 24, Amsterdam

The Logic Tea homepage can be found at http://staff.science.uva.nl/~debruin/logic_tea.html.

5-6 September 2002, Nederlands ICT-Kenniscongres, Nederlands Congres Centrum, Den Haag

Date: 5-6 September 2002
Location: Nederlands Congres Centrum, Den Haag

Dit evenement geeft d.m.v. lezingen en demonstraties een overzicht van de nieuwste ontwikkelingen in de ICT wereld. Onderzoek op het gebied van de ICT en innovatieve toepassing van de onderzoeksresultaten staan tijdens het congres centraal.

Graduate course on the Theta System, Jan van Eijck, Tanya Reinhart

Date & Time: weekly on thursdays, 12:00-15:00
Speaker: Jan van Eijck Tanya Reinhart
Location: Room 131, Kromme Nieuwegracht 80, Utrecht

The theoretical framework of this course is the Theta System, as developed by Reinhart the last few years. The Theta system (what has been labelled in Chomsky's Principles and Parameters framework 'Theta theory') is a system enabling the interface between the systems of concepts and the computational system syntax (and, via the syntactic representations, with the semantic inference systems).

The first part (block) of the course is designed as intensive introduction to the basics of the system as explained below. In the second part we hope to go in depth into some new problems that are not satisfactorily solved yet. Along with theoretical research, a further goal of the course is implementation of the system using parsing tools developed by Van Eijck.

For more information, see here or contact Jan van Eijck () or Tanya Reinhart ().

23-25 September 2002, 6th International Colloquium on Grammatical Inference, Amsterdam

Date: 23-25 September 2002
Location: Amsterdam
Deadline: 19 April 2002

ICGI-2002 is the sixth in a series of successful biennial international conferences on the area of grammatical inference. Grammatical inference has been extensively addressed by researchers in information theory, automata theory, language acquisition, computational linguistics, machine learning, pattern recognition, computational learning theory and neural networks. This colloquium aims at bringing together researchers in these fields. Previous editions of this meeting were held in Essex, U.K.; Alicante, Spain; Montpellier, France; Ames, Iowa, USA; and Lisbon, Portugal.

Deadlines:
Submission of manuscripts: April 19, 2002
Notification of acceptance: May 27th, 2002
