Confs: 13th International Conference on Meaning and Knowledge Representation Meeting Description: Natural language understanding systems require a knowledge base provided with formal representations reflecting the structure of human beings’ cognitive system. Although surface semantics can be sufficient in some other systems, the construction of a robust knowledge base guarantees its use in most natural language processing applications, thus consolidating the concept of resource reuse. This conference deals with meaning and knowledge representation in the context of n

Does our "semantic space" get stuck in the past as we age?

New work by @ellscain.bsky.social uses historical embeddings + behavioral data to show we are truly lifelong learners.

Older adults don't rely on historical meanings—they update them to match current language! 🧠✨

Confs: Workshop on Tense and Aspect in Analytic Forms Meeting description: Tense and Aspect are fundamental categories in the architecture of grammar. Both situate eventualities in time, but they do so in different ways: tense anchors the time of the event deictically to the time of the utterance, yielding present, past, or future distinctions, either directly or through the mediation of a reference time (Comrie 1985, Bybee 1992). Aspect, on the other hand, refers to the internal temporal constituency of the event, encoding distinctions such as
