AIMS AND SCOPE
Vector embeddings of word = meanings have become a mainstream tool in large scale natural language = processing tools. The use of vectors to represent meanings in semantic = spaces or feature spaces is also employed in cognitive science. = Unrelated to natural language and cognitive science, vectors and vector = spaces have been extensively used as models of physical theories and = especially the theory of quantum mechanics. Crucial similarities between = the vector representations of quantum mechanics and those of natural = language are exhibited via bicompact linear logic and compact closed = categorical structures in natural language.

Exploiting the common ground provided = by vector spaces, the workshop will bring together researchers working = at the intersection of NLP, cognitive science, and physics, offering to = them an appropriate forum for presenting their uniquely motivated work = and ideas. The interplay between these three disciplines will foster = theoretically motivated approaches to understanding how meanings of = words interact with each other in sentences and discourse via = grammatical types, how they are determined by input from the world, and = how word and sentence meanings interact logically.

Topics of interests = include (but are not restricted to):
Reasoning in = semantic spaces
Compositionality in semantic spaces = and conceptual spaces
Conceptual spaces in = linguistics and natural language processing
Applications of quantum logic in natural language processing = and cognitive science
Modelling functional words = such as prepositions and relative pronouns in compositional = distributional models of meaning
Diagrammatic = reasoning for natural language processing and cognitive = science
Modelling so-called =E2=80=98non-compositiona= l=E2=80=99 phenomena such as metaphor
