Logic and Categorization in relation to AI
	Special Track at the 17th International FLAIRS Conference
In cooperation with the American Association for Artificial Intelligence
Palms South Beach Hotel Miami Beach, FL May 17-19, 2004

The L&C track is intended to provide an international forum for discussing the latest approaches in logic versus categorization and their relation to AI. The objective of this special track is to bring nonclassical logics and cognition among researchers in AI in order to compare different approaches of categorization in their relation with language and thought. Another objective is to provide an environment for communicating different paradigms and approaches to categorization as an interdisciplinarity of several fields. Specifically we invite submissions that fall within the non-classical logics and categorization in different fields (with their subfields) as :

• Nonmonotonic logics and language :
  • Types theory and language
  • Extension/Intension
  • Syntax and Semantics
  • Semantic Network
• Natural Languages :
  • Syntax and Semantics of NL (Categorical Grammars, Types)
  • Speech Categories in Texts (for instance topics focus and predications)
  • Categories in Text Mining, Annotated Corpora
• Psychology and Anthropology :
  • Prototypes
  • Acquisition , Representations
• Philosophy :
  • Categories and Objects
  • Categories and Cultures
  • Categories Dialogue with Machine

Any paper related to these areas are welcome.
