Language, vision & music: workshop report on the eighth international workshop on the cognitive science of natural language processing (CSNLP-8)

摘要

"Occurring during the solar eclipse of 1999," the Eighth International Workshop on the Cognitive Science of Natural Language Processing (CSNLP-8) has been a success. The delegates enjoyed themselves, and particularly not only the academic content but also the surplus of social events, and expressed their congratulations on the programme and organisation. CSNLP attracted for the first time a large number of delegates and papers from abroad including many from Britain, Europe, the USA and Asia. CSNLP-8 was hosted by the Information Technology (IT) Centre at NUI Galway, Ireland, The Cognitive Science Society Of Ireland (CSSI), and the Artificial Intelligence Association of Ireland (Al) in cooperation with IntelliMedia 2000+, Aalborg University, Denmark. It was run just before "MIND-IV: Two Sciences of Mind", The Annual Conference of the Cognitive Science Society of Ireland (CSSI), at Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland (August 15th-18th).
