IWCS International Conference on Computational Semantics: 2nd CfP
by Kilian Evang 15 Apr '25

15 Apr '25

16th International Conference on Computational Semantics (IWCS) Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf 22-24 September 2025 https://iwcs2025.github.io/ IWCS is a biennial conference on computational semantics. This year's edition is organized by Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. The conference is endorsed by SIGSEM, the ACL Special Interest Group on Computational Semantics. The aim of the IWCS conference is to bring together researchers interested in any aspects of the computation, annotation, extraction, representation and learning of meaning in natural language, whether this is from a lexical or structural semantic perspective. IWCS embraces both symbolic and machine learning approaches to computational semantics, and everything in between. The conference and workshops will take place 22-24 September 2025. The invited speakers of IWCS 2025 are: Oana-Maria Camburu (University College London) Alexander Koller (Saarland University) Denis Paperno (Utrecht University) We invite paper submissions in all areas of computational semantics, in other words all computational aspects of meaning of natural language within written, spoken, signed, or multi-modal communication. Submissions are invited on these closely related areas: design of meaning representations syntax-semantics interface representing and resolving semantic ambiguity shallow and deep semantic processing and reasoning hybrid symbolic and statistical approaches to semantics distributional semantics alternative approaches to compositional semantics inference methods for computational semantics recognising textual entailment learning by reading methodologies and practices for semantic annotation machine learning of semantic structures probabilistic computational semantics neural semantic parsing computing meaning with large language models computational aspects of lexical semantics semantics and ontologies semantic web and natural language processing semantic aspects of language generation generating from meaning representations semantic relations in discourse and dialogue semantics and pragmatics of dialogue acts multimodal and grounded approaches to computing meaning semantics-pragmatics interface applications of computational semantics SUBMISSION INFORMATION Two types of submission are solicited: long papers and short papers. Both types should be submitted no later than 06 June 2025 (anywhere on earth). Long papers should describe original research and must not exceed 8 pages. Short papers (typically system or project descriptions, or ongoing research) must not exceed 4 pages. Acknowledgments, references, a limitations section (optional), an ethics statement (optional), and a technical appendix (optional, not subject to reviewing) do not count towards the page limit. Accepted papers get an extra page in the camera-ready version and will be published in the conference proceedings in the ACL Anthology. For inclusion in the proceedings, at least one author must register to the conference and present the paper in person. Papers will be accepted either for oral presentation or for a poster presentation. Submissions should be fully anonymous to ensure double-blind reviewing.

PhD students at Saarland University - RTG Neuroexplicit Models
by Alexander Koller 15 Apr '25

15 Apr '25

Hi all, this is a really cool opportunity, and the last chance to apply. I look forward to receiving your applications! Best, Alexander. The Research Training Group 2853 “Neuroexplicit Models of Language, Vision, and Action” is looking for Multiple PhD Students - Fall 2025 Neuroexplicit models combine neural and human-interpretable (“explicit”) models in order to overcome the limitations that each model class has separately. They include neurosymbolic models, which combine neural and symbolic models, but also e.g. combinations of neural and physics-based models. In the RTG, we will improve the state of the art in natural language processing (“Language”), computer vision (“Vision”), and planning and reinforcement learning (“Action”). We also develop novel machine learning techniques for neuroexplicit models (“Foundations”). Our overarching aim is to contribute to a better understanding of the cross-cutting design principles of effective neuroexplicit models through interdisciplinary collaboration. We are now filling the last few remaining positions to grow to a total of 24 PhD students by the end of 2025. You will join a very international crowd of sixteen PhD students and one postdoc who are already being funded by the RTG. Through the inclusion of ~15 associated PhD students and postdocs funded from other sources, it will be one of the largest research centers on neuroexplicit or neurosymbolic models in the world. The RTG brings together researchers at Saarland University, the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, and the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). All of these institutions are collocated on the same campus in Saarbrücken, Germany. The positions will be funded for four years at the TV-L E13 100% pay scale. They are intended to start in September 2025, but could start a little earlier or later depending on the student’s availability. You should have or be about to complete an MSc degree in computer science or a related field and have demonstrated expertise in one of the research areas of the RTG, e.g. through an excellent Master’s thesis or relevant publications. The RTG is part of the Saarland Informatics Campus, one of the leading centers for research in computer science, artificial intelligence, and natural language processing in Europe. The Saarland Informatics Campus brings together 900 researchers and 2500 students from 81 countries. The CISPA Helmholtz Center, located on the same campus, is home to an additional 350 researchers and on track to grow to 800 by 2026. Researchers at SIC and CISPA are part of the ELLIS network and have been awarded more than 40 ERC grants. Each PhD student in the RTG will be jointly supervised by two PhD advisors from the list of Principal Investigators below. Each student will freely define their own research topic; we encourage the choice of topics that cross the traditional boundaries of research fields. Students may be affiliated with Saarland University or with one of the participating institutes. Vera Demberg, Saarland University - Computational Linguistics Dietrich Klakow, Saarland University - Natural Language Processing Alexander Koller, Saarland University - Computational Linguistics Mariya Toneva, MPI for Software Systems - Computational Neuroscience, Machine Learning Jörg Hoffmann, Saarland University - AI Planning Bernt Schiele, MPI for Informatics - Computer Vision, Machine Learning Philipp Slusallek, DFKI and Saarland University - Computer Graphics, Artificial Intelligence Christian Theobalt, MPI for Informatics - Visual Computing, Machine Learning Isabel Valera, Saarland University - Machine Learning Jilles Vreeken, CISPA - Machine Learning, Causality Joachim Weickert, Saarland University - Mathematical Data Analysis Verena Wolf, DFKI and Saarland University - Modeling and Simulation, Reinforcement Learning Ellie Pavlick, Brown University and Google AI, is joining us regularly as a Mercator Fellow. Please send your application by May 7th 2025 to apply(a)neuroexplicit.org and include the reference number W2639. We aim to conduct job interviews in June 2025.
