PRESENTATION

      Our purpose is to provide a forum for discussion on all aspects
      of learning language in logic.
      It is the follow-up of the previous LLL workshops held in 1999
      in Bled, Slovenia, and in 2000 in Lisboa, Portugal.

      The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who
      are working on learning from text, while emphasizing the
      logic-based learning techniques and algorithms.

      We strongly encourage contributions concerning semantic analysis
      of natural languages, describing logic-based learning techniques
      alternative to ILP, employing active learning or solving tasks 
      for other languages than English.

      These techniques include but are not limited to: 

         -  Combinations of approaches and multi-strategy learning 
         -  Instance-based and clustering approaches in relational 
            learning 
         -  Scalability issues (applying logic-based methods to large 
            data sets) 
         -  Logical approaches to statistical NLP 
         -  Higher-order logic for LLL 
         -  Handling very complex terms 
         -  Collaborative and interactive learning 

         -  Shallow parsing 
         -  Grammar learning 
         -  Learning subcategorisation frames 
         -  Part-of-speech tagging 
         -  Morphosyntactic tagging 
         -  Morphological analysis 
         -  Information indexing, filtering, retrieval, extraction 
         -  Text classification methods 
         -  Question answering 
         -  Learning ontologies, thesauri and lexicon 
         -  Extracting predicate-argument structure
