Call for Papers

AMLaP

The 7th Annual Conference on Architectures and Mechanisms for Language Processing (AMLaP-2001), will be held in Saarbruecken, Germany from September 20-22, 2001.

The aim of the conference is to bring together psychological, computational, and theoretical perspectives on the cognitive mechanisms which underlie any aspect of human language processing. Submissions which integrate experimental psycholinguistic evidence with formal or computational models of psychological processes are especially encouraged.

Topics relevant to the conference include (but are not limited to):

computational models

lexical processing

cross-linguistic studies

parsing and interpretation

language production

learning mechanisms

statistical mechanisms

connectionist models

corpus-based studies

computer simulations

discourse

models of acquisition

Keynote speaker:

Michael Tomasello, MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig

Special Session

This year's AMLaP includes a special session on the topic:

Experienced-based Models of Language Processing

Invited speakers:

Jeff Elman, University of California, San Diego
Dan Jurafsky, University of Colorado

For this session, we strongly encourage relevant submissions on topics
including (but not restricted to):

  • Models whose mechanisms are derived on the basis of experience
    (e.g. statistical, connectionist, memory-based)
  • The use of corpora as a model of linguistic experience
  • Experimental evidence addressing the role of experience/exposure
  • Combined models of language acquisition and performance

Papers for this session will should be submitted via the normal submissions procedure.

Assuming a sufficient number and quality of submissions on the topic of the special session, we intend to publish a special issue of the recently established journal Cognitive Science Quarterly.
