3rd LEARNING LANGUAGE IN LOGIC (LLL) WORKSHOP http://www.fi.muni.cz/ilpnet2/LLL2001

8th - 9th September 2001, Strasbourg Co-located with ILP 2001

CALL FOR WORK-IN-PROGRESS PAPERS --------------------------------

SUBMISSIONS

Please submit by sending electronically to lll01@fi.muni.cz a full paper (PS or PDF format) up to 12 pages in LNCS/LNAI Springer style.

Paper submission deadline: June, 24 Notification of acceptance: July, 9 Final version due: July, 27

Works in progress will be published in working notes (Technical Report of FI MU Brno).

PRESENTATION

Our purpose is to provide a forum for discussion on all aspects of learning language in logic. It is the follow-up of the previous LLL workshops held in 1999 in Bled, Slovenia, and in 2000 in Lisboa, Portugal.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are working on learning from text, while emphasizing the logic-based learning techniques and algorithms.

We strongly encourage contributions concerning semantic analysis of natural languages, describing logic-based learning techniques alternative to ILP, employing active learning or solving tasks for other languages than English.

These techniques include but are not limited to:

- Combinations of approaches and multi-strategy learning - Instance-based and clustering approaches in relational learning - Scalability issues (applying logic-based methods to large data sets) - Logical approaches to statistical NLP - Higher-order logic for LLL - Handling very complex terms - Collaborative and interactive learning

- Shallow parsing - Grammar learning - Learning subcategorisation frames - Part-of-speech tagging - Morphosyntactic tagging - Morphological analysis - Information indexing, filtering, retrieval, extraction - Text classification methods - Question answering - Learning ontologies, thesauri and lexicon - Extracting predicate-argument structure
