Hi,
At this year's ParGram meeting, we decided we should have 2 meetings in
2014 (spring and fall).
Regarding the spring meeting, Ron Kaplan has volunteered to host it at
Nuance in California. To find a suitable date, I created a Doodle poll
which you can find here:
http://doodle.com/niwz4hgptcn3rpsr
Please participate in the poll so that we can find a date that suits
most of us. By the way: This will be a special occasion since we will be
celebrating 20 years of ParGram!
Cheers,
Jani

Subject: Invitation to the 2015 DELPH-IN Summit
Date: Wed, 20 May 2015 20:54:45 -0700

Dear Miriam,
Would you forward the message below to the ParGram list for me?
Many thanks,

Dear ParGram Community,
This August, we will hold our 11th annual summit in the Deep
Linguistic Processing with HPSG Initiative (DELPH-IN). I am writing on
behalf of the DELPH-IN Standing Committee to invite members of the
ParGram community to join us in this meeting.
Despite interesting formal and linguistic differences, we believe
there is much common ground between ParGram and DELPH-IN, including
pedigree, goals, mode of operation, and challenges ahead of us. We
feel it would be fruitful to exchange views on questions like these:
(a) recruitment and training of new grammarians; (b) long-term
maintenance of complex existing grammars; (c) relating to more
theoretical work or ‘divergent’ interpretations of LFG and HPSG; (d)
standardizing (semantic) interface representations to parsing and
generation, to support downstream tasks like entailment or reasoning;
(e) connecting to third-party (semantic) resources like VerbNet or
BabelNet; or (f) demonstrating the utility of deeper linguistic
analysis in practical applications.
Our DELPH-IN summits usually have three ‘plenary’ days (August 3–5
this year), followed by two days with parallel, smaller-group
activities; we will be putting together the program over the next
few months, but to give you an idea of previous meetings, maybe see:

We hope that this will be the start of increased interaction between
our communities. We would welcome ParGram researchers to attend, provide
their perspective on issues we are discussing, and get a chance to see
what the interests, research-in-progress, and open questions are in
the DELPH-IN universe.
Organizationally, our meeting this year will be in Singapore,
co-located with and just before the HPSG conference (and right after
ACL in Beijing). For more organizational background, please see:

Any ParGram members interested in attending should email
summit(a)delph-in.net <mailto:summit@delph-in.net> to make their interest
known.
Emily, for the DELPH-IN Standing Committee
