*SEM 2013 : The 2nd Joint Conference on Lexical and Computational Semantics
Dates:
When Jun 13, 2013 – Jun 14, 2013
Where Atlanta GA, USA
Submission Deadline Mar 15, 2013
Notification Due Apr 12, 2013

From the call:
The main goal of *SEM is to provide a stable forum for the growing number of NLP researchers working on different aspects of semantic processing, which has been scattered over a large array of small workshops and conferences.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Formal and linguistic semantics
- Cognitive aspects of semantics
- Lexical semantics
- Semantic aspects of morphology and semantic processing of morphologically rich languages
- Semantic processing at the sentence level
- Semantic processing at the discourse level
- Semantic processing of non-propositional aspects of meaning
- Textual entailment
- Multiword expressions
- Multilingual semantic processing
- Social media and linguistic semantics
*SEM 2013 will feature a distinguished panel on Deep Language Understanding.
*SEM 2013 hosts the shared task on Semantic Textual Similarity.
Another workshop to join the array of “…small workshops and conferences.” 😉
Not a bad thing. Communities grow up around conferences and people you will see at one are rarely at others.
Diversity of communities, dare I say semantics?, isn’t a bad thing. It is a reflection of our diversity and we should stop beating ourselves up over it.
Our machines are capable of being uniformly monotonous. But that is because they lack the independence to be diverse on their own.
Why would anyone want to emulate being a machine?
