ONE YEAR GRADUATE COURSE **STUDENTSHIPS AVAILABLE** ONE YEAR GRADUATE COURSE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPUTER SPEECH & LANGUAGE PROCESSING
UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE
DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER LABORATORY
ONE-YEAR M.PHIL COURSE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The course covers the theory and practice of speech and language
processing. It runs from early October to September and
consists of two terms lectures and practicals followed by a three
month project. The final degree is awarded on the basis of coursework,
examination and project.
Unlike some alternative programmes, the course aims to provide a
in-depth practical and theoretical grounding in the techniques
for speech and language processing which form the basis for today's
commercial and research prototype systems. There are strong links
with industry and the great majority of past students have gone on to
doctoral work or to jobs in industrial research laboratories.
Cambridge is a major international centre for research in both speech
and language processing. The course lecturers and demonstrators are
directly involved in leading edge research within the university and
in collaboration with other European and US industrial and academic
laboratories.
There are currently a number of EPSRC studentships available for the
course to qualifying applicants. We encourage applications from
students with a background in engineering, computer science,
linguistics and/or psychology.

Istituto Trentino di Cultura (ITC)
Istituto per la Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica (IRST)
Povo, Trento (Italy)
18-21 June 1997
-------------------------------
including a workshop on June 18
-------------------------------
LECTURERS:
Gilles Fauconnier (University of California, San Diego)
Douglas Hofstadter (Indiana University, Bloomington)
Andrew Ortony (Northwestern University, Evanston)
Mark Turner (University of Maryland, College Park)
COORDINATING COMMITTEE:
Douglas Hofstadter (Indiana University, Bloomington)
Oliviero Stock (IRST, Povo, Trento)
Achille Varzi (Columbia University, New York)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTENTS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The lectures will encompass recent ideas about the nature of analogy-
making as a general cognitive process rather than an exceptional mechanism
brought to bear only in unusual circumstances. The ideas of conceptual and
situational blending -- a theme of recent years -- will be one important
focus, as will the role of analogy and metaphor in the creative process.
The computational perspective will also be at the center of the
presentations. Depending on the interests of the group of participants,
other topics may also be brought into the discussion.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROGRAM AND ORGANIZATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
An introductory session on Wednesday morning, June 18, will be followed
by an informal workshop open to all participants. The purpose of the
workshop will be to give participants the opportunity to introduce
themselves and present their work to the others.
In the following three days (19-21), there will be two one-hour lectures
in the morning and two in the afternoon (one by each lecturer). Each
lecture will be followed by ample time for discussion.
A panel discussion may be deemed appropriate, and some impromptu
presentations may be organized. The atmosphere should be small and
highly informal, encouraging much interpersonal exchange.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Participation will be limited to 30 people. There is no registration fee.
- People wishing to participate should submit a short curriculum
vitae and a statement of interest to one of the the addresses below.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to request permission to publicise the 1998 International
Conference
on Spoken Language Processing. The information to be released is below.
Many thanks,
Julie Vonwiller
ICSLP '98 Conference Coordinating Committee
----------
The 5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP '98)
Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre
Darling Harbour
Sydney
30th November - 4th December 1998
This conference is hosted by the Australian Speech Science &
Technology Association (ASSTA) Incorporated, and will incorporate the
7th Speech Science & Technology Conference (SST 98). It will aim to
continue the technical tradition of the ICSLP conferences which have
been held in Kobe (1990), Banff (1992), Yokohama (1994), and
Philadelphia (1996) with particular emphasis on the bridging of the
composite disciplines that contribute to our understanding of spoken
language and the way that it is processed by humans and machines.
ASSTA invites all professionals interested in spoken language
processing to Australia to the conference. An exciting technical
programme is planned, and a not to be forgotten social programme. We
aim to provide technical challenge and debate as well as generating a
friendly learning experience. As information becomes available it
will be promoted on the ICSLP 98 WWW. If you wish to be kept informed of
the progress of the conference please register your interest via the
WWW page or by enquiry to the Secretariat.
The Convention Centre is located in a complex of restaurants and
shops on an expansive pedestrian peninsula at the waterfront of the
celebrated Sydney Harbour and only a few minutes walk, ferry ride or
monorail ride from the city centre.
Australia will be in early summer in December and the weather should be
fine and warm. Check the WWW pages for the tourism section for things to
see
and do.

The Department of General Psychology of ELTE hereby announces that
Dr. Martina WILTSCHKO
(University of Vienna)
is going to give a short course on
CHOMSKYAN MODELS AND PSYCHOLINGUISTICS
The course will be organized in 2X45 min. classes each day between
26 and 30 May, 1997.
Time and place: 10.00 - 12.00, Izabella u. 46. room #209 (2nd floor)
For students the course equals to a credit in the cognitive
psychology program and in the cognitive PhD program as well.
(code no. PS-KK07.07)
For further information please contact Gyongyi Czachesz
(czachesz(a)izabell.elte.hu).
Here is a brief description of the course:
Chomskyan models and Psycholinguistics
In this course I will discuss various "stages" within the generative
enterprise. We will start with the early approach of the 60ies, i.e. a
transformational, rule-oriented approach to syntatic theory. Taking this
as a starting point, we will see how the theory developed into a
"principles and parameters" -based approah (i.e what is generally referred
to as the "Government and Binding" framework). Finally I will discuss
current developments within the theory of Grammer, namely the so calle
Minimalist framework.
In discussing the major assumptions of these models we will also discuss
various implications the differente approaches have for issues in
Psycholinguistics as well as within the "philosophy of mind".
-What do the different approaches have to say concerning the learnability
problem (i.e. language acquisition)?
-What do the different approaches imply for parsing theories?
What do the different approaches have to say concerning the organization
of Grammar, the organization of the language faculty, and ultimately the
organization of the human mind. I.e. we will specifically discuss the
"Autonomy Hypothesis" and "Modularity of Mind" with respect to each of the
proposed models.

Villeneuve d'Ascq
Journees Francophones
SCIENCES DE LA COGNITION VERS LES APPLICATIONS
Organise par SciCoia
Parraine par
l'Association pour la Recherche Cognitive
et le Reseau Cogniscience Nord
APPEL A COMMUNICATIONS
couple a un numero special
de la revue In Cognito
* PRESENTATION
Scicoia, association de chercheurs en sciences cognitives du Nord,
domiciliee a l'Universite de Lille 3, a pour but de developper la recherche
en Sciences de la Cognition que ce soit d'un point de vue fondamental ou
applique. Dans cet esprit, Scicoia favorise les rencontres entre le monde
de la recherche et celui de l'industrie, et encourage les problematiques
communes aux deux univers.
La necessite d'integrer, dans les champs disciplinaires des Sciences
Cognitives, des preoccupations concretes du versant applique de la
recherche sans pour autant sacrifier l'interet fondamental de la recherche
cognitive ont conduit Scicoia a deux journees de travail sur le theme
"Sciences de la Cognition vers les Applications".
Ces premieres journees francophones ont pour objectif de :
- proposer des exposes relatifs aux avancees scientifiques en matiere de
Sciences de la Cognition dans les domaines allant de l'informatique et
l'automatique a la sociologie des organisations en passant par la
psychologie, la didactique,...
- promouvoir les contributions orientees vers des propositions
methodologiques, des resultats experimentaux, des theories et modeles,...
exportables du laboratoire vers l'entreprise, l'industrie, les
organisations...
* THEMATIQUE
Nous souhaiterions que les differentes disciplines traditionnelles des
Sciences de la Cognition soient representees : l'informatique, les
neurosciences, la psychologie, les sciences du langage, la philosophie, la
sociologie, la didactique, etc.
Les domaines d'application privilegies sont :
- les sciences de l'ingenieur,
- les sciences de gestion,
- les metiers de la sante,
- l'ingenierie pedagogique,
- etc.
Certaines problematiques sont encouragees, par exemple, celles relatives a :
- les technologies de l'information,
- la gestion,
- la conception,
- la prise de decision,
- l'etude des organisations,
- etc.
Ces listes de disciplines, de problematiques et de domaines d'applications
n'etant, bien sur, pas exhaustives, toutes les propositions seront prises
en consideration.
* ORGANISATION
Il est souhaite, pour ces premieres journees de Scicoia, de privilegier
fortement les echanges et les debats. Pour cela, il est prevu de reserver
des temps relativement longs aux questions et aux debats de maniere a
permettre a chacun d'intervenir.
Nous proposons trois types de presentation : des posters, des ateliers et
des communications.
+ Les posters seront presentes au cours de sessions speciales "posters",
avec eventuellement des presentations orales breves (cinq minutes maximum).
+ Les ateliers seront articules autour d'une presentation orale courte (de
dix a trente minutes) suivie d'une discussion debat de deux heures environ.
Un atelier peut-etre anime par plusieurs intervenants.
+ Les communications orales feront trente minutes au maximum, sachant que
les temps conseilles sont de vingt minutes d'expose et dix minutes de
discussion.
* FORMATS DE SOUMISSION
Pour ces presentations, nous proposons les trois formats suivants :
- des propositions d'atelier : une page et demie ;
- poster : deux a trois pages ;
- communications orales : 4000 mots maximum et de moins de huit pages.
La concision des propositions de communication sera une qualite tres
appreciee.
Les textes proposes seront rediges en police times, corps 12 (polices
symbol et courrier autorisees), interlignes de 18 points (1,5 lignes),
marges de 2 cm, format A4. La soumission electronique est toleree mais non
souhaitee. Dans tous les cas elle se fera au format RTF.
Dans tous les cas, quatre copies (agrafees, recto seul, sur papier A4)
seront envoyees a Scicoia a l'adresse indiquee ci-dessous.
Les auteurs preciseront la forme souhaitee (communication orale, affichee
ou atelier) et mentionneront la categorie a laquelle ils appartiennent
(jeune chercheur ou etudiant, chercheur, industriel). Par ailleurs, ils
mentionneront s'ils sont prets a transformer le type de leur communication,
si besoin.
Les travaux seront evalues sur leur qualite scientifique fondamentale, leur
originalite et leur ouverture vers les methodes des disciplines et des
metiers appliques.
Les actes regroupant les diverses presentations seront disponibles des le
jour de la manifestation. Par ailleurs, les communications retenues feront
l'objet d'un numero special dans la revue In Cognito.

PSYCOLOQUY CALL FOR PAPERS
PSYCOLOQUY is a refereed electronic journal (ISSN 1055-0143) sponsored
on an experimental basis by the American Psychological Association and
currently estimated to reach a readership of 50,000. PSYCOLOQUY
publishes reports of new ideas and findings on which the author wishes
to solicit rapid peer feedback, international and interdisciplinary
("Scholarly Skywriting"), in all areas of psychology and its related
fields (biobehavioral science, cognitive science, neuroscience, social
science, etc.). All contributions are refereed.
Target article length should normally not exceed 500 lines [c. 4500 words].
Commentaries and responses should not exceed 200 lines [c. 1800 words].
All target articles, commentaries and responses must have (1) a short
abstract (up to 100 words for target articles, shorter for commentaries
and responses), (2) an indexable title, (3) the authors' full name(s),
institutional address(es) and URL(s).
In addition, for target articles only: (4) 6-8 indexable keywords,
(5) a separate statement of the authors' rationale for soliciting
commentary (e.g., why would commentary be useful and of interest to the
field? what kind of commentary do you expect to elicit?) and
(6) a list of potential commentators (with their email addresses).
All paragraphs should be numbered in articles, commentaries and
responses (see format of already published articles in the PSYCOLOQUY
archive; line length should be < 80 characters, no hyphenation).
It is strongly recommended that all figures be designed so as to be
screen-readable ascii. If this is not possible, the provisional
solution is the less desirable hybrid one of submitting them
as .gif .jpeg .tiff or postscript files (or in some other universally
available format) to be printed out locally by readers to supplement
the screen-readable text of the article.
PSYCOLOQUY also publishes multiple reviews of books in any of the above
fields; these should normally be the same length as commentaries, but
longer reviews will be considered as well. Book authors should submit a
500-line self-contained Precis of their book, in the format of a target
article; if accepted, this will be published in PSYCOLOQUY together
with a formal Call for Reviews (of the book, not the Precis). The
author's publisher must agree in advance to furnish review copies to the
reviewers selected.
Authors of accepted manuscripts assign to PSYCOLOQUY the right to
publish and distribute their text electronically and to archive and
make it permanently retrievable electronically, but they retain the
copyright, and after it has appeared in PSYCOLOQUY authors may
republish their text in any way they wish -- electronic or print -- as
long as they clearly acknowledge PSYCOLOQUY as its original locus of
publication. However, except in very special cases, agreed upon in
advance, contributions that have already been published or are being
considered for publication elsewhere are not eligible to be considered
for publication in PSYCOLOQUY,

----------------------------------------------------------------------
CRITERIA FOR ACCEPTANCE: To be eligible for publication, a PSYCOLOQUY
target article should not only have sufficient conceptual rigor,
empirical grounding, and clarity of style, but should also offer a
clear rationale for soliciting Commentary. That rationale should be
provided in the author's covering letter, together with a list of
suggested commentators.
A target article can be (i) the report and discussion of empirical
research; (ii) an theoretical article that formally models or
systematizes a body of research; or (iii) a novel interpretation,
synthesis, or critique of existing experimental or theoretical work.
Rrticles dealing with social or philosophical aspects of
the behavioral and brain sciences are also eligible..
The service of Open Peer Commentary will be primarily devoted
to original unpublished manuscripts. However, a recently published
book whose contents meet the standards outlined above may also be
eligible for Commentary. In such a Multiple Book Review, a
comprehensive, 500-line precis by the author is published
in advance of the commentaries and the author's response. In rare
special cases, Commentary will also be extended to a position paper
or an already published article dealing with particularly
influential or controversial research. Submission of an article
implies that it has not been published or is not being considered
for publication elsewhere. Multiple book reviews and previously
published articles appear by invitation only. The Associateship
and professional readership of PSYCOLOQUY are encouraged to nominate
current topics and authors for Commentary.
In all the categories described, the decisive consideration
for eligibility will be the desirability of Commentary for the
submitted material. Controversially simpliciter is not a
sufficient criterion for soliciting Commentary: a paper may be
controversial simply because it is wrong or weak. Nor is the mere
presence of interdisciplinary aspects sufficient: general
cybernetic and "organismic" disquisitions are not appropriate for
PSYCOLOQUY. Some appropriate rationales for seeking Open Peer
Commentary would be that: (1) the material bears in a significant way
on some current controversial issues in behavioral and brain sciences;
(2) its findings substantively contradict some well-established aspects
of current research and theory; (3) it criticizes the findings,
practices, or principles of an accepted or influential line of work;
(4) it unifies a substantial amount of disparate research; (5) it has
important cross-disciplinary ramifications; (6) it introduces an
innovative methodology or formalism for consideration by proponents of
the established forms; (7) it meaningfully integrates a body of brain
and behavioral data; (8) it places a hitherto dissociated area of
research into an evolutionary or ecological perspective; etc. In order
to assure communication with potential commentators (and readers) from
other PSYCOLOQUY specialty areas, all technical terminology must be clearly
defined or simplified, and specialized concepts must be fully
described.
NOTE TO COMMENTATORS: The purpose of the Open Peer Commentary
service is to provide a concentrated constructive interaction
between author and commentators on a topic judged to be of broad
significance to the biobehavioral science community. Commentators
should provide substantive criticism, interpretation, and
elaboration as well as any pertinent complementary or supplementary
material, such as illustrations; all original data will be refereed
in order to assure the archival validity of PSYCOLOQUY commentaries.
Commentaries and articles should be free of hyperbole and remarks
ad hominem.
STYLE AND FORMAT FOR ARTICLES AND COMMENTARIES TARGET ARTICLES:
should not exceed 500 lines (~4500 words); commentaries should not
exceed 200 lines (1800 words), including references. Spelling,
capitalization, and punctuation should be consistent within each
article and commentary and should follow the style recommended in the
latest edition of A Manual of Style, The University of Chicago Press.
It may be helpful to examine a recent issue of PSYCOLOQUY.
All submissions must include an indexable title, followed by the
authors' names in the form preferred for publication, full
institutional addresses and electronic mail addresses,
a 100-word abstract, and 6-12 keywords. Tables and diagrams should be
made screen-readable wherever possible (if unavoidable, printable
postscript files may contain the graphics separately).
All paragraphs should be numbered, consecutively. No line should
exceed 72 characters, and a blank line should separate paragraphs.
REFERENCES: Bibliographic citations in the text must include the
author's last name and the date of publication and may include page
references. Complete bibliographic information for each citation
should be included in the list of references. Examples of correct
style are: Brown(1973); (Brown 1973); Brown 1973; 1978); (Brown
1973; Jones 1976); (Brown & Jones 1978); (Brown et al. 1978).
References should be typed on a separate sheet in alphabetical
order in the style of the following examples. Do not abbreviate
journal titles.

concept. Behavioral and Brain Sciences 1:3-39.

ethology, Cambridge University Press.
EDITING: PSYCOLOQUY reserves the right to edit and proof all articles
and commentaries accepted for publication. Authors of articles will be
given the opportunity to review the copy-edited draft. Commentators
will be asked to review copy-editing only when changes have been
substantial.

Abstract
This paper traces the 'Institutional' turn in the philosophy of
science to the failure of classical foundationalism on the one hand,
and to the failure to distinguish between Descartes' methodological
scepticism and his rench epistemology' on the other. In so doing,
it argues that the institutional approach leads to authoritarianism,
since it retains the structure and function of classical
foundationalism while leaving the oundations' themselves floating in
midair. And it suggests that a better response would be to maintain
Descartes' resolution to doubt whatever can be doubted without
contradiction, while renouncing his resolution not to accept any
thesis or belief that has not been proven.
