From Quirky Case to Space: a Symposium on Language and Knowledge
On Wednesday, October 5th, 2011 we have a symposium in honor of Annie Zaenen, discussing her work in Linguistics, Logic, Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence.
The event will take place at PARC and will be followed by dinner for invited guests.
In addition, we would like to put
together a collection of original short papers in Annie's honor; we
will provide more details later this fall.
We look forward to seeing you there!

A party for Annie!
Tracy, Ron, Danny and I are hoping to organize a party to celebrate Annie Zaenen's lifetime achievements in Linguistics and Language Technology, this September or October in PARC. Annie is celebrating a big birthday, so we hope we can have a beautiful party, with plenty of old and new friends, lots of exciting work to discuss, great food and nice wine.
The idea is to use this blog to organize the party and after the party, we want to keep it as a souvenir, a bit like DannyFest. But we better get the party going first...
The next post is a rough outline of what we discussed on January 26th about the party.
