The Eighth International Workshop on the
Cognitive Science of Natural Language Processing (CSNLP-8)
(http://www.it.ucg.ie/csnlp8/)
"LANGUAGE, VISION & MUSIC"
Monday 9th - Wednesday 11th August, 1999
National University of Ireland, Galway (NUI Galway)
GALWAY, IRELAND
in association with:
"Mind-IV: TWO SCIENCES OF MIND"
(Monday 16th - Thursday 19th August, 1999)
(Dublin City University, Ireland)
(http://www.compapp.dcu.ie/~tdoris/mind4.html)
"LANGUAGE, VISION & MUSIC"
What common cognitive patterns underlie our competence in these
disparate modes of thought? Language (natural & formal), vision and
music seem to share at least the following attributes: a hierarchical
organisation of constituents, recursivity, metaphor, the possibility
of self-reference, ambiguity, and systematicity. Can we propose the
existence of a general symbol system with instantiations in these
three modes or is the only commonality to be found at the level of
such entities as cerebral columnar automata? Also, we invite papers
which examine cross-cultural experience of these modalities.
What can Engineering of software platforms for integrated Intelligent
MultiModal & MultiMedia processing of language/vision/music/etc. tell
us?
TOPICS INCLUDE:
o combinations: language and music; language and vision; music and vision.
o What can Engineering of software platforms
(e.g. AAU CHAMELEON; cf. http://www.cpk.auc.dk/imm) for
integrated Intelligent MultiMedia processing of language/vision/etc.
tell us?
o Metaphor: For example: the use of terms like "interval"
and "range" in music.
o Rhythm: How is Rhythm important for language, vision and music?
o Acoustics: What role does it play in the three modalities?
o The roles of embodiment and culture in the formation of symbolic
apparatus; For example: the use of gesture in face-to-face
communication.
o Emotions: what role do they play in the three modalities?
o Synesthesia
o What the visual, musical and linguistic arts can tell us.
o What is the developmental relationship between prosody and music?
What is the cognitive evidence for the dependence of music on
language?
o Can we speak meaningfully about a semantics of music?
o Architectures for integration of language, vision and music;
what aspects are conscious and what automatic? What aspects are
common and what are specific to each?
o What is the role of modelling creativity?
Are the creative processes similar or in what way are they different?
SPECIAL SESSION ON CREATIVITY:
In AI we have failed to get much handle on creativity.
Conn Mulvihill will Chair a special session on creativity
looking at writing, poetry, painting, and music composition.
Irish Nobel Prize Laureate Seamus Heaney is
composing a translation of Beowulf at present with special attention to
the sound - reminiscent of movement in a longship type craft and there
are those that claim that music is central to any hope of understanding
Joyce. We think also of the likes of Kandinsky here.
Is Joyce prose or music? Is Kandinsky art or music?
What is Picasso? What are the links between language, vision and music?
Is creativity the same for each? and by the way, What is creativity?
It is intended to involve Writers-in-Residence at NUI, Galway
Pat McCabe ("The Butcher Boy") & Paula Meehan (Poet).
o Are recent trends towards integrating ideas in the
Arts/Humanities and Sciences/Engineering important here?
(cf. http://www.futurehum.uib.no/
& http://tn-speech.essex.ac.uk/tn-speech/
& http://www.cpk.auc.dk/imm)
o Why are there many arts and not just one?
CSNLP:
The International Workshop on the Cognitive Science of Natural
Language Processing (CSNLP) has been run in IRELAND since 1992. The
CSNLP-8 workshop will continue the tradition of emphasising
presentations of Ireland's and International original research in all
areas of the Cognitive Science of NLP including Computer Science,
Psychology, Linguistics, Philosophy, Neuroscience and related
disciplines on the obvious problems of speech, NLP, and vision
processing, robotics, learning, reasoning, knowledge representation
and mobile/remote computing. Papers addressing this year's theme are
particularly welcome.

STEPHEN NACHMANOVITCH is an author, musician, computer artist, and
educator. Born in 1950, he studied at Harvard, US and the University
of California, US where he earned a Ph.D. in the History of
Consciousness for an exploration of William Blake. His mentor was the
anthropologist and philosopher Gregory Bateson. He has taught and
lectured widely in the United States and abroad on creativity and the
spiritual underpinnings of art. Since 1976 he has given solo
improvisation concerts on violin, viola, and electric violin, and has
presented workshops at many conservatories and universities. He has
performed internationally, and has had numerous appearances on radio,
television, and at music and theater festivals. He has collaborated
with other artists in media including music, dance, theater, and film,
and has developed programs melding art, music, literature, and
computer technology. He has published articles in a variety of fields
since 1966, and is the author of ``Free Play: Improvisation in Life
and Art'' (Putnam, 1990). In recent years he has created computer
software including The World Music Menu and Visual Music Tone Painter.
He is currently working on a new book on creativity called Genius &
Magic. He lives with his wife and two sons in Los Angeles, US.

G/ERARD SABAH graduated from the `Ecole Polytechnique' in 1971 and
entered the CNRS in the same year. Besides his engineering degree from
the Polytechnique, further degrees include a 'Diplome d'etudes
Approfondies' (DEA) in 1972, then a 'Doctorat de 3eme cycle' (1975)
(subject: automatic learning of pattern recognition operators) and a
'Doctorat d'etat es Sciences' (1978) on Natural Language Understanding
by Computers. He is currently a Research Director at CNRS, and the
head of the Language and Cognition group at LIMSI (Laboratoire
d'Informatique et de Mecanique pour les Sciences de l'Ingenieur:
Computer Sciences and Mechanics for Engineering Laboratory). He is the
author of the two volumes 'L'intelligence artificielle et le langage'
(vol. 1: Knowledge Representation; vol. 2: Understanding Processes),
published by Hermes, Paris. His present interest is the study of the
cognitive processes in natural language understanding, acquisition and
generation. The main activities of his group (currently about 25
people) concern multi-agent architectures for text analysis and
understanding, flexible parsing, dialogue processing, reasoning
mechanisms, generation and learning. Until recently he was
responsible of the natural language pole of the Man-Machine
Communication PRC (National Programme of Co-ordinated Research) and
responsible for the Cognitive Science Network in southern Paris, a
network of universities and research laboratories working in Cognitive
Science. He has also been the president of the French Association for
Cognitive Research. He is presently member of the AFIA (French
Association for Artificial Intelligence - member of the ECCAI
federation) bureau and editor in chief of its journal.

SOCIAL AND TOUR:
This meeting will have a surplus of social events and a planned
conference tour is a boat trip of the Aran Islands, stopping on "Inis
Mor" (Big Island), going walkabout and seeing the interpretive centre
(TIMING: 12.00 noon - 9.00 PM, Galway -> "Inis Mor" -> Galway).
The final panel session on Creativity will be held on "Inis Mor" at 3.00
PM. Delegates may choose to stay overnight on "Inis Mor" and we would
ask them to reserve accommodation themselves.
CEILI:
It is intended that we organise at least one
Ceili during the Workshop and all participants are
invited to bring their musical instruments to participate.

GALWAY, IRELAND is a twin-city of AALBORG, DENMARK
""CITY OF THE TRIBES "To hell or to Connaught" ordered Cromwell as the
dispossessed flocked west in their droves. The land may still be poor
but no-one these days would equate Connaught with hell. As anyone who
ever watched the sun go down on the famously beautiful Galway bay will
tell you, it's definitely more on the heavenly end of the spectrum. A
friendly sprawling city, Galway has all the amenities of a much larger
place yet maintains its laid-back vibe. As a University town, it is
incredibly youthful, culturally vibrant and undeniably
cosmopolitan. You can lose your shirt at the races or your inhibitions
at the oyster festival. A light mist will enhance your complexion as
you cycle over the salmon weir, along by the cathedral. Bring your
umbrella and prepare to have lots of fun....""
