The goal of the workshop “Natural Language for Artificial Intelligence” (NL4AI) is to explore the area situated at the intersection between Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence. Even though we acknowledge the existence of a promising ground where these two disciplines can benefit from each other, we also believe this area is not only “populated” of technological challenges that, at turn, make one discipline play an ancillary role for the other. In fact, we believe that at the crossroad between NLP and AI, new technological paradigms rise from a cross-fertilization where each discipline makes a equal contribution: these resulting methodologies and technologies can change our reality and their societal impact has not yet been fully-fledged.
