MACSIM is a regional workshop on issues related to meaning in natural language.
It consists of presentations and posters by graduate students from the participating departments in the Mid-Atlantic: NYU, CUNY, Rutgers, Penn, Delaware, Johns Hopkins, Maryland, Georgetown. Faculty from these departments participate in audience discussion. There is also one invited talk by a faculty member, and plenty of time to get to know people and their work.
MACSIM is an annual event, with alternating host departments, similar to ones in the Northeast (SNEWS) and California (CUSP).
The next MACSIM is at University of Maryland, College Park, on February 18th 2012. The invited talk will be given by Roger Schwarzschild. The program is here.
