Workshop: CRNL 2015
Computational Reasoning in Natural Language
Workshop on the occasion of Assaf Toledo’s PhD defense
Utrecht University, Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS
Monday, 26 October 2015
In recent years there has been a growing interest in computational methods that combine logical analysis, statistical modelling and linguistic principles for addressing reasoning in natural language. This workshop presents a number of computational approaches within artificial intelligence that deal with this long-lasting problem. In addition to four presentations of recent theoretical work in this area, the workshop will include short demonstrations of new systems that deal with various aspects of computational reasoning.
