Participants:
Participants should be doctoral students who research the interfaces
between computer science, cognitive science, linguistics, mathematics
and philosophy. In exceptional cases, outstanding students in the final
year of masters level studies who intend to pursue a doctorate will also
be considered. The summer school is limited to 25 students.
Places are competitively allocated on the basis of the research
interests of the students and the perceived benefits to those interests
of attending the summer school. Participants must be proficient in
English.
Stipends:
Via the CLaRK Program, the Volkswagen-Foundation will provide stipends
for up to 6 students from the countries of Central and Eastern Europe
and 6 further students from Bulgaria. The stipends will be awarded on a
competitive basis. The stipends will comprise travel costs (up to DEM
600), and room and board for the duration of the summer school. At the
discretion of the CLaRK Program, the stipends may include additional
support for travel costs above DEM 600.
Applications:

registration form, a curriculum
vitae, and a short (maximum three pages) summary of relevant past and
present research and education must be submitted to the Office of the
International Centre at Tübingen by 30th April 2000. Applicants seeking
a CLaRK stipend must also include a letter of recommendation with their

Content and Goals
Computational linguistics and knowledge representation are two
distinct disciplines that share a common concern with what knowledge
is, how it is used, and how it is acquired. However, though knowledge
representation and computational linguistics clearly address broadly
similar research problems, research within each of these fields has
hitherto been largely ignorant of research in the other. Moreover,
the ignorance the two fields have of each other both fosters and is
fostered by a wide gulf between the educations received by students of
knowledge representation and students of computational
linguistics.
The goal of the summer school is to help bridge this
gulf by introducing the summer school students to recent developments
in the interdisciplinary field of computational linguistics and
knowledge representation. The summer school will take the form of
courses in various topics. The program provisionally includes courses
in computational morphology, corpus linguistics, declarative knowledge
representation, natural language semantics, Slavic syntax and
psycholinguistics..
