About CSLP
The Constraint Solving and Language Processing (CSLP) workshop considers the role of constraints in the representation of language and the implementation of language processing from an interdisciplinary perspective. This theme should be interpreted inclusively: contributions from linguistics, computer science, psycholinguistics and related areas are welcome, and an interdisciplinary perspective is of particular interest.
Constraints are widely used in linguistics, computer science, and psychology. How they are used, however, varies widely according to the research domain: knowledge representation, cognitive modelling, problem solving mechanisms, etc. These different perspectives are complementary, each one adding a piece to the puzzle. For example, linguistics proposes in-depth descriptions implementing constraints in order to filter out structures by means of description languages, constraint ranking, etc. The constraint programming paradigm, on the other hand, shows that constraints have to be taken as a systematic whole and can thus play a role in building the structures (or can even replace structures). Finally, psycholinguistics experiment have been made, investigating the role of constraint systems for cognitive processes in comprehension and production, as well as addressing how they can be acquired.
This workshop is the seventh of its kind and takes place on 13-14 September 2012 at the University of Orléans, France.
This year, there are a couple of international workshops to take place in Paris (120 km from Orléans) in September:
- SemDial 2012 (SeineDial), the 16th International Workshop on the Semantics and Pragmatics of Dialogue, Paris, September 19-21, 2012
- TAG+11, the 11th International Workshop on Tree Adjoining Grammars and Related Formalisms, Paris, September 26-28, 2012
