<font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="2"><span lang="fr-FR">The
aim of this workshop is to foster interactions among researchers and
practitioners in Natural Language Processing (NLP) working within the
paradigm of Cognitive Science (CS). Research</span> into <span lang="fr-FR">NLP
involves concepts and methods from many</span> fields <span lang="fr-FR">including
artificial intelligence, linguistics, computational linguistics,
statistics, computer science, and most importantly cognitive science.</span></font></font></p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.05in; margin-right: 0.08in;" align="JUSTIFY">
<font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="2"><span lang="fr-FR">The
overall emphasis of the workshop is on the contribution of cognitive
science to language processing, including conceptualisation,
representation, discourse processing, meaning construction, ontology
building, and text mining. The special theme of this year's NLPCS
workshop is "</span><span lang="fr-FR"><b>Human-Machine
Interaction in Translation</b></span><span lang="fr-FR">".
Therefore, we particularly welcome papers addressing aspects of human
and machine translation and human-computer interaction in
translation.</span></font></font></p>

<font style="font-size: 9pt;" size="2">Dr. Sinha is a Professor of
Computer Science & Engineering and Electrical Engineering at IIT
Kanpur where he has been serving for more than three decades. Dr.
Sinha's major research concentration has been in the areas of
language technology and applied artificial intelligence. In the early
70s, he worked on Devanagari OCR and was the first person to work on
the topic. In the late 70s and early 80s, he worked on Indian script
enabling and their computer processing. He is the originator of the
well-known multilingual GIST technology / IDC, ISCII coding, INSCRIPT
keyboarding and several other Indian language technologies. Starting
in the late 80s, he has been working on computer processing of Indian
languages. He is the originator of AnglaBharati and AnuBharati
technology for translation from English to Indian languages and
vice-versa. He is a member of TDIL working group, National
Translation Mission Advisory, Technical Advisory Committee of CDAC,
Standardization committee, Associate UNESCO chair in ORBICOM. He is
founding president of the Society for Machine Aids for Translation
and Communication (SMATAC), Fellow IETE, and Senior Member of IEEE.
He has been a visiting professor at Michigan State University, Wayne
State University, INRS Quebec and Asian Institute of Technology. </font>
