Grammar Induction, Representation of Language and Language Learning
NIPS Workshop: 11 December 2009, Whistler, Canada

Call for Papers

Target Audience
The target audience of the workshop is machine learners with an interest in text modelling and processing who are interested in extending their work to more complex language tasks, cognitive systems and knowledge representation, moving beyond models that are implicitly or explicitly based on variants of finite state automata/Hidden Markov Models.

Format
The workshop will be single-day, comprising of a tutorial introduction, invited talks (30 mins each + 30 mins for discussion), and presentations of contributed work, with time for discussions. Depending on quality and compatibility with workshop aims, slots for brief talks and posters will be allocated.

Contributions should be communicated to the program committee (the organizers) in form of an extended abstract (from 4 to 8 pages in the NIPS conference paper style), sent to d.glowacka (at) cs.ucl.ac.uk.
