(2) Interactions between learning and evolution,
(3) Social learning and conventional meaning, and
(4) The evolution of syntax.

Students and staff are very welcome to attend and partipate in the discussions. Participation is free, but registration on the workshop webpage is required.

5-7 September 2005, AMLaP Conference on Architectures and Mechanisms of Language Processing, Gent, Belgium

Date: 5-7 September 2005
Location: Gent, Belgium
Deadline: 16 May 2005

AMLaP is an annual international conference which has established itself as the premier European venue for interdisciplinary research into how people process language. The conference aims to bring together psychological, computational, and theoretical perspectives on the cognitive architectures and mechanisms which underly any aspect of human language processing, from lexical processing, parsing and interpretation, through to discourse level mechanisms. Contributions to AMLaP which explicity relate empirical and experimental findings and computational mechanisms are especially encouraged. Topics relevant to the conference include (but are not limited to): computational models, cross-linguistic studies, language production, statistical mechanisms, corpus-based studies, discourse, lexical processing, parsing and interpretation, learning mechanisms, connectionist models, computer simulations and models of acquisition.

Date: 11-15 September 2005
Location: Hotel Villa del Mare, Acquafredda di Maratea, Italy

The first international summer school on constraint programming is organised for PhD students, researchers, and practitioners interested in an extensive introduction to CP concepts such as problem modelling, constraint propagation, global constraints, and search.

Leading experts in the field will give invited tutorial lectures on different aspects of constraint programming along with practical exercises. Lecturers will evaluate the work of the students. This will provide the participants with a useful feedback, and will allow Ph.D. students to use the school to cover some of their coursework.

Registration deadline is July 31 (June 30 for early registration). For more information including a program, see http://slash.math.unipd.it/cp-school-2005/
