Inference in Computational Semantics ICoS-5

20 - 21 April 2006

Buxton, England

Natural Language Processing has reached a stage where the exploration and development of inference is one of its most pressing tasks. On the theoretical side, it is clear that inference plays a key role in such areas as semantic construction and the management of discourse and dialogue. On the practical side, the use of sophisticated inference methods is expected to play a crucial role in such application areas such as natural language generation, automatic question answering, and spoken dialogue systems.

The next International workshop on Inference in Computational Semantics (ICoS-5) will take place from 20th--21st April at the University of Derby College, Buxton, England. ICoS-5 is intended to bring together researchers interested in inference-oriented NLP from areas such as Computational Linguistics, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Formal Semantics, and Logic.

Buxton is a small market town at the centre of the Peak District National Park, situated between the cities of Manchester and Sheffield. The venue for the workshop (pictured) is the former Devonshire Royal Hospital, which now forms part of the University of Derby College, Buxton. Here is some very general tourist blurb .
