NEW: Recent Changes (Feb 12):

Moved: from Friday to Monday: Language Documentation: the Nahuatl Grammar. Mike Maxwell, Jonathan D. Amith. 464.

Moved: from Monday to Friday: A Modular Account of Information Structure in Extensible Dependency Grammar. Ralph Debusmann, Oana Postolache, and Maarika Traat. 26.

NEW: Recent Changes (Feb 11):

Cancelled: two talks on Thursday (by Xiaoguang Li).

Moved: to Thursday: Putting Pieces Together: Combining FrameNet, VerbNet and WordNet for Robust Semantic Parsing. Lei Shi and Rada Mihalcea. 99.

Changed: Thursday and Friday schedule after 16:55.

Note (Feb 10):

The time of the bus is in the format "Departure--Arrival," i.e., "08:10–08:50 Bus from hotel" means that the bus goes from the hotel exactly at 08:10 and arrives to the conf place approximately at 08:50. Don't be late: there will be no transportation after the bus has gone (well, see here).

Changes (Feb 8):

Added: A Modular Account of Information Structure in Extensible Dependency Grammar. Ralph Debusmann, Oana Postolache, and Maarika Traat. 26.
