The purpose of the workshop is to provide an overview of activities in the field of Constraint Solving with special emphasis on Natural Language Processing and for researchers to meet and exchange ideas.
Constraint Solving (CS), in particular Constraint Logic Programming (CLP), is a promising platform, perhaps the most promising present platform, for bringing forward the state of the art in language processing. The data subjected to processing via constraint solving may include written and spoken language, formal and semiformal language, and even general input data to multimodal and pervasive systems.
CLP and CS have been applied in projects for shallow and deep analysis and generation of language, and to different sorts of languages. The view of grammar expressed as a set of conditions simultaneously constraining and thus defining the set of possible utterances has influenced formal linguistic theory for more than a decade.
CLP and CS provide flexibility of expression and potential for interleaving the different phases of language processing, including handling of pragmatic and semantic information, e.g. ontologies.
Topics considered relevant for the workshop include (but are not limited to)
Invited speakers: Philippe Blache, Veronica Dahl, Denys Duchier, Gerald Penn
Authors are invited to submit either a 6 page extended abstract or a full paper of up to 16 pages. Preliminary proceedings are distributed at the workshop. It is planned to publish selected revised full papers after the workshop in Springer's LNCS/LNAI series.
Papers to be published in post-workshop proceedings must eventually be prepared in LaTeX. Authors are strongly recommended to prepare their submissions according to guidelines for Springer LNCS/LNAI: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
Please submit papers as PDF files to cslp2004@ruc.dk (do not send ZIP files).
SUBMISSION IS CLOSED
Each submission will be commented by two or three reviewers.
