SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP
The workshop will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from the fields of natural language processing, computational linguistics and cognitive science to their ideas and investigations. Given the breadth of the topic, we welcome papers from many perspectives, including but not limited to computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology, language learning, artificial intelligence, and in particular cognitive neuroscience.

The aim of this workshop is to foster interactions among researchers and practitioners in Natural Language Processing (NLP) by taking a Cognitive Science perspective and learning from recent advances in Cognitive Neuroscience, Cognitive Linguistics and Neurolinguistics.

Hence, topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Cognitive and Psychological Models of NLP
Cognitive Neuroscience of Language
Computational Models of NLP
Computational Models in Neuroscience
Corpus Linguistics
Discourse Processing
Emotion and Language Processing
Evolutionary NLP
Multi-Lingual Processing
Multimodality in Speech / Text Processing
Natural Language Interfaces and Dialogue Systems
Neural bases of Language
Pragmatics and NLP
Speech Processing
Social Cognition of Language
Text Mining
Text Summarisation and Information Extraction
Tools and Resources in NLP
Translation and Machine Translation
