This workshop aims to create a forum where the issue of constructing NLI platforms will be discussed from both a theoretical and implementational point of view. We are further aiming at bringing together people from different computational semantics backgrounds, but who, at the same time, share the goal of creating a platform that is useful regardless the approach one takes w.r.t NLI. We invite 2-4 page abstract submissions (references excluded) on theoretical and implementational aspects of NLI. We specifically encourage submissions on the construction and development of state of the art platforms for NLI. The link to the submission site as well as formatting instructions can be found here. Extended deadline for submission is the 25th of July 2017.
