International Workshop On
Natural Lanugage Understanding
and Logic Programming
Rennes, France - September 18-20, 1984
The workshop will consider fundamental principles and important
innovations in the design, definition, uses and extensions of logic
programming for natural language understanding and, conversely, the
adequacy of logic programming to express natural language grammar
formalisms. The topics of interest are:
* Formal representations of natural language
* Logic grammar formalisms
* Linguistic aspects (anaphora, coordination,...)
* Analysis methods
* Natural language generation
* Uses of techniques for logic grammars (unification)
in other grammar formalisms
* Compilers and interpreters for grammar formalisms
* Text comprehension
* Applications: natural-language front ends (database
interrogation, dialogues with expert systems...)
