Workshop on Parsing and Semantic Composition

SFB 833, Project A3 is inviting to the

Workshop on
Data-driven Approaches to Parsing and Semantic Composition

10th-11th December 2019, Tübingen (Fürstenzimmer, Hohentübingen)

Syntactic parsing assigns structure to phrases. Composition models, on the other hand, assign meaning vectors to phrases. Parsers are known to benefit from distributional word representations while composition models can again profit from (morpho-)syntactic information. Given this interplay of parsing and composition, we would like to investigate in this workshop whether parsers and models of distributional semantics can mutually inform each other above the word level.

About the SFB 833

The workshop is organized by the SFB project A3 . We particularly focus on corpus-based semantic composition models for phrases in A3. The SFB has the overall topic of "The Construction of Meaning: The Dynamics and Adaptivity of Linguistic Structures."

Travel Information

By bus

You can travel to Tübingen by car, train, bus, or plane. The nearest airport to Tübingen is Stuttgart Airport (STR), which is a bus or taxi ride away from Tübingen. If you plan a bus ride, the line 828 is the best choice. It will take 45 minutes and costs circa 7€ (reduced with BahnCard). Taking a taxi is faster but more expensive.
You can also use a Fernbus to Tübingen. They usually stop at Tübingen's bus terminal where you can easily change to Tübingen's public transport.

By train

You can also arrive easily in Tübingen via train. Tübingen main station is next to the central bus terminal. If you plan to use the train (Deutsche Bahn website), you can easily walk to your hotel or change to Tübingen's public transport directly outside of the station.

By car

Arriving by car is also possible. Check Google Maps or any other site for directions. However, parking lots are rare and/or expensive
