GURT/SyntaxFest is an in-person event with a modest registration fee. For a discounted rate, register by Feb. 28 at https://gurt.georgetown.edu/gurt-2023/registration-gurt-2023.
Our aim is to bring together theoretical and computational researchers interested in CxG approaches and encourage topics examining how theoretical research can inform computational approaches and applications, whether existing or needed in the future. Thus, we invite original research papers from a range of topics, including but not limited to:
Theory and Linguistics
Formalisms for construction grammar
Natural Language Understanding (NLU)
Opinion pieces on the interplay between CxGs and NLP
Constructions and Language Models (BERTology)
Constructicons and corpora annotated for construction grammar
Construction grammar learning and adaptation
Applications
We will have an invited speaker, Jonathan Dunn discussing the relation between Construction Grammars and NLP. The workshop will also include a discussion consisting of experts from both fields discussing possible synergies between the two fields.
Claire and Harish
