in Action: Representation, Learning, and Application"
(CARLA) is an international workshop aimed at
fostering interdisciplinary exchange about research on
concepts. It invites contributions from all fields
related to cognitive science, including (but not
limited to) linguistics, artificial intelligence,
psychology, philosophy, logic, and computer science.
Although the workshop is open for research on any
aspect of concepts, there exists a set of core topics
that are of special interest:</font></font></p>
