There is widespread agreement that AI has grown over the years into a fragmented landscape of sub-disciplines with a narrow focus. Specialisation has certainly facilitated great advances within the sub-disciplines and AI overall, but fragmentation has created a silos mentality which hinders cross-fertilisation and further advancements within AI.

Johns Hopkins University is again organizing a 6-week summer research workshop in 2017, this time in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University. This workshop carries forward the two-decade-long tradition of the JHU summer workshops, and will be hosted this time by CMU in Pittsburgh. It is our hope that future workshops will be hosted by other locations, returning periodically to JHU.

REMINDER: MARWIDE DEADLINE IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS

Submission of Complete Manuscripts: April 4, 2016

Submission Instructions: Submit papers at h ttp://aied.edmgr.com/ using the special submission type: "SI ­ MARWIDE."

You are invited to participate in the CL-SciSumm Shared Task at BIRNDL 2016. The shared task will be on automatic paper summarization in the Computational Linguistics (CL) domain. The output summaries will be of two types: faceted summaries of the traditional self-summary (the abstract) and the community summary (the collection of citation sentences ‘citances’). We also propose to group the citances by the facets of the text that they refer to.

Last Call for Papers:

Joint workshop of the:
- 4th Bibliometric-enhanced Information Retrieval (BIR)
- 2nd Workshop on text and citation analysis for scholarly digital libraries (NLPIR4DL)

Co-located as a post workshop of the ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries 2017.

*Updated* Special issue of the International Journal on Digital Libraries being finalised for selected accepted submissions to BIRNDL 2016.

TextGraphs-10: Graph-based Methods for Natural Language Processing
Workshop at the 15th Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies (NAACL HLT) 2016

===========================================================WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
===========================================================

The goal of this theme session, proposed for the 9th International Conference on Construction Grammar, is to bring together (frame) semanticists, (construction) grammarians, and computational linguists interested in advancing the role(s) of frames and constructions in computational semantics—or conversely, advancing the role of computational approaches in the characterization of frames and constructions. We seek contributions that address the following question broadly construed: How does the work inform the understanding of computing the meaning of a frame or construction?
