Workshop: 10th International Workshop on Tree Adjoining Grammars and Related Formalisms (TAG+10)

过去二十年见证了计算语言学家、理论语言学家和心理语言学家对一系列语法形式的探索，因为它们在构建自然语言界面和机器翻译系统、表征人类语言知识的本质以及构建语言处理模型方面的作用。由于这些形式主义中的许多都具有重要的形式和语言特性（最突出的是，温和的上下文敏感性和词汇化），因此可以通过考虑来自特定形式主义之外的工作的想法来获得许多潜在的协同作用，包括计算，理论和心理。此外，尽管理论家、计算学家和心理学家关心的是解决不同的问题，但来自一个群体的想法往往会对其他群体产生重大影响。这次由美国国家科学基金会赞助的研讨会将于2010年6月10日至12日在耶鲁大学举行，其目标是促进这两种类型的联系：跨越形式主义的鸿沟和理论-计算-心理的鸿沟。树相邻语法社区有探索这些联系的历史，这次研讨会的目的是进一步扩大参与这种异花授粉的研究人员社区。研讨会将汇集来自树相邻语法、极简主义、范畴语法、依赖语法、HPSG和LFG社区的研究人员，研究形式主义的异同，以开发共享的、广泛覆盖的语法，将解析和机器学习算法从一种形式主义转移到另一种形式主义。并对不同形式主义的性质及其在语言和心理语言解释方面的能力有了新的认识。该奖项不仅为吸引杰出的研究人员提供了至关重要的支持，这些研究人员将受邀发表演讲和辅导讲座，而且可能更重要的是，吸引博士生。通过在初级研究人员职业生涯的早期阶段向他们介绍跨框架和跨学科互动的成果，我们希望该奖项将对他们在整个职业生涯中所从事的工作类型产生变革性影响，可能导致该领域更广泛，更综合的视角。

The past two decades have witnessed the exploration of a range of grammatical formalisms by computational, theoretical, and psycho linguists, for their utility in building natural language interfaces and machine translation systems, characterizing the nature of human linguistic knowledge, and constructing models of language processing. Because many of these formalisms share important formal and linguistic properties (most prominently, mild context-sensitivity and lexicalization), there are many potential synergies, computational, theoretical and psychological, that can be gotten by considering ideas that stem from work outside of particular formalism. Moreover, though theoreticians, computationalists, and psychologists are concerned with solving different problems, ideas that derive from one community often turn out to have a significant consequences for the others. The goal of this NSF-sponsored workshop, which will take place at Yale University on June 10-12, 2010, is to foster both of these types of connections: across the formalism divide and the theoretical-computational-psycho divide. The Tree-Adjoining Grammar community has a history of exploring these connections, and this workshop aims to expand the community of researchers involved in such cross-pollination even further. The workshop will bring together researchers from the Tree-Adjoining Grammar, Minimalism, Categorial Grammar, Dependency Grammar, HPSG, and LFG communities to look at the similarities and differences of the formalisms, with the goals of developing shared, broad-coverage grammars, transferring parsing and machine learning algorithms from one formalism to another. and gaining new insights into the properties of different formalisms and their capacity for linguistic and psycholinguistic explanation. This award provides support crucial to attract to the workshop not only prominent researchers, who will give invited presentations and tutorial lectures, but also, and perhaps even more importantly, PhD students. By introducing junior researchers to the fruitfulness of cross-framework and cross-disciplinary interactions at an early stage in their careers, our hope is that the award will have a transformative effect on the kind of work they will engage in during their entire careers, potentially leading to a broader, more integrated perspective in the field at large.
