The field covers basic research, technologies, applications and engineering. It addresses areas such as automatic parsing and tagging, named entity recognition, word sense disambiguation, sentence understanding, grammar induction, machine translation, information extraction, automatic question answering, text summarization, and text mining. State-of-the-art NLP research combines sophisticated and deep linguistic modeling and data analysis with innovative probabilistic and machine learning approaches. The goals of this track are to provide participants with an opportunity to exchange ideas, approaches and implementations of computational systems, to highlight the common challenges faced by all practitioners, to assess the state of the art in the field, and to identify promising areas for future collaborative research in the development of NLP resources and systems. Topics The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics covered by the track: - Word Sense Disambiguation - Named Entities Identification - Anaphora resolution - Statistical vs. Linguistic Approaches - Language Modeling - Spoken Language Processing - Speech Recognition and Language Models - Text to Speech and Language Models - Dialog Strategy and Technology - Natural Language Learning, Generation and Understanding - Evaluation of Natural Language Systems - Lexical, Semantic Resources and Corpora - Corpora Linguistics - Semantic Web - Machine Translation - Information Retrieval - Cross Language Information Retrieval - Information Extraction - Question Answering - Domain-Specific Man-machine Dialog - Ontology Learning from Text - Text Categorization and Summarization - Text Mining and Machine Learning - Opinion Mining - Knowledge Discovery and Acquisition from Text - Machine Learning - Language Knowledge Engineering - NLP Applications in E-Learning - NLP Applications in E-Commerce - NLP E-mail Filtering - Other Applications Program Committee Hanady Ahmed, Alexandria University, Egypt Fawaz Al-Anzi, Kuwait University, Kuwait Mansour Al-Ghamdi, King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia Ibrahim Al-Kharashi, King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia Galia Angelova, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Bulgaria Mohamed Attia, RDI, Egypt Lamia Hadrich Belguith, Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management of Sfax, Tunisia Chia-Hui Chang, National Central University, Taiwan Khalid Choukri, ELDA, Paris, France Chris Cieri, LDC, USA Kareem Darwish, CIMC, Egypt Mona Diab, Columbia University, USA Joseph Dichy, Université Lumière Lyon2, France Ossama Emam, IBM Egypt Ali Farghaly, Oracle, USA Nizar Habash, Columbia University, USA Hany Hassan, IBM, Egypt Sattar Izwaini, Abu Dhabi University, UAE Mohamed Kamel, Univeristy of Waterloo, Canada Mohamed Maamouri, LDC, University of Pennsylvania, USA Bente Maegaard, CST, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Petra Maier-Meyer, FAST, Germany Yuji Matsumoto, NAIST, Japan Farid Meziane, Salford University, UK Paola Monachesi, Utrecht University , Netherlands Stelios Piperidis, ILSP, Athens, Greece Ahmed Rafea, American University in Cairo, Egypt Mohsen Rashwan, Cairo University, Egypt Horacio Rodríguez, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain Paolo Rosso, Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Spain Doaa Samy, Universidad Carlos III Madrid, Spain Nasredine Semmar, CEA, France Khaled Shaalan, The British University, Dubai Otakar Smrz, Charles University, Czech Republic Abdelhadi Soudi, Ecole Nationale de l'Industrie Minérale, Morocco Andy Way, DCU, Ireland Imed Zitouni, IBM Research, USA Track Chair Prof. Dr. Aly Fahmy Faculty of Computers and Information, Cairo University Track Co-Chair Dr. Samhaa El-Beltagy Faculty of Computers and Information, Cairo University Read more issues\|LINGUIST home page\|Top of issue
