The Workshop on Language, Cognition and Computational Models was held in Paris at Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) and at the Institut des Systèmes Complexes de Paris-Ile de France (ISC-PIF), on May 28th and 29th 2013. The goal of this event was to provide a venue for the multidisciplinary discussion of theoretical and practical research for computational models of language and cognition. The event centered around recent advances on computational models for language acquisition, processing The first day mainly addressed language evolution and some of the computational models that have been proposed to investigate possible avenues for this phenomenon. The second day addressed more varied issues, ranging from the origins of language to recent trends in machine translation. All talks will address key questions dealing with cognitive, formal and/or computational issues related to language evolution and/or language processing.
