Third Workshop on Lambda Calculus and Formal Grammar

[Japanese | English]

Workshop held at the National Institute of Informatics
January 29, 2007

This is the third installment of an informal workshop series that started two years ago. (The programs of the last two workshops are available.) The theme of the workshop is the interface between the lambda calculus and formal grammar, with a particular emphasis on the grammar formalism known as Abstract Categorial Grammar or Lambda Grammar. The workshop is open to all interested people.

The workshop is part of the NII joint research project Toward a Comprehensive Model of Grammar Based on the Typed Lambda Calculus, headed by Makoto Kanazawa.

Date and Place

Date:January 29, 2007
Place:Lecture Rooms 1 & 2, 20th floor, National Institute of Informatics (National Center of Sciences Building). (Map and access information.)

When you enter the National Center of Sciences, tell the guard that you are attending the workshop on the 20th floor.
