The first Uncertainty in Meaning and Representation in Linguistics and Philosophy Workshop will be held on 21-23 February 2018 in Jelenia Góra, Poland.
In the past couple of years, meanings and their representations have become more uncertain and more probabilistic. This can be seen from the following developments:
Some of these developments concern uncertainty in meaning (1, 2 and 3), others use probabilities or related representations for representing meaning (4, 5 and 6). The workshop aims at strengthening the interaction between the different approaches and at making progress on the formal and foundational issues that arise around these developments.
The programme committee will try to invite specific people to contribute in order to get a good mix of approaches. It will however also look at the contributions to the main Szklarska Poreba workshop to see if any talk would better be in the workshop programme. However, please write to the programme committee (henk.zeevat@uva.nl) if you have work which you feel is ideal for presentation in the workshop. We will invite you, if possible.
