Call Deadline: 21-Nov-2005
Meeting Description:
Call for Papers
Goal
The track on Trends in Natural Language Processing is a forum for researchers
working in natural language processing(NLP)/computational linguistics(CL) and
related areas. The rapid pace of development of online materials, most of them
in textual form or text combined with other media (visual, audio), has led to a
revived interest for tools capable to understand, organize and mine those
materials. Novel human-computer interfaces, for instance talking heads, can
benefit from language understanding and generation techniques with big impact on
user satisfaction. Moreover, language can facilitate human-computer interaction
for people with disabilities (no typing needed) and elderly leading to an ever
increasing user base for computer systems.
While papers and contributions on traditional basic and applied language
processing issues are welcome, the 2006 track will emphasize novel challenges to
the NLP/CL community: multilingual processing, learning environments, multimodal
communication, bioNLP, spam filtering, security, etc. We also encourage papers
in information retrieval, speech processing and machine learning that present
novel approaches that can benefit from or have an impact on NLP/CL.
Topics
We invite highly original papers that describe work in, but not limited to, the
following areas:
1. NL-based Knowledge Representations and systems
2. Lexical Semantics
3. Syntax
4. Semantics
5. Coreference Resolution
6. Word Sense Disambiguation
7. Text Cohesion and Coherence
8. Dialogue Management and Systems
9. Language Generation
10. Language Models
11. Human Computer Interfaces - in particular multimodal human-computer
communication and language as the only acceptable human-computer communication
channel for handicapped and elderly
12. Machine Learning applied to NL problems
13. Multilingual Processing
14. Standardization, Language Resources, Corpora Building and Annotation Languages
15. NL in Learning Environments
16. Semantic Web, Ontologies, Reasoning
17. Applications: Machine Translation, Summarization, Intelligent Tutoring,
Question Answering, Information Extraction, etc.
18. others
Submission Guidelines
Interested authors should format their papers according to AAAI formatting
guidelines. The papers should not exceed 6 pages and are due by November 21,
2005. Please note the change from 5 to 6 pages from the first CFP. Additional
pages (7 and more) have to be cleared by the program chairs and will be $100
each. The papers should not identify the author(s) in any manner. Authors should
indicate the special track if one exists that closely matches the topic of their
paper. All submissions will be done electronically via the FLAIRS web submission
system available through the paper submission site at
http://earth.cs.ccsu.edu/~flairs/submission.html.
Conference Proceedings
Papers will be refereed and all accepted papers will appear in the conference
proceedings which will be published by AAAI Press. Selected authors will be
invited to submit extended versions of their papers to a special issue of the
International Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools (IJAIT) to be published
in 2007.
