madonna.postech.ac.kr>** Second Call For Papers ** ########################################### COMPUTER PROCESSING OF ORIENTAL LANGUAGES ########################################### Special Issue: "Information Retrieval on Oriental Languages" INTRODUCTION ============ The International Journal on Computer Processing of Oriental Languages (CPOL) is devoted to the publication of original theoretical and applied research work in oriental language computing. In particular, this special issue focuses on the field of "Information Retrieval on Oriental Languages". The increasing volume of information available globally through the World-Wide-Web places high demands on the information search engines in terms of both speed and effectiveness. As a result, much research interest in Information Retrieval (IR) has been spurred in recent years in the direction of performance and/or effectiveness enhancement, e.g. in the areas of indexing, NLP, etc. Although the latest IR researches in English, and in other Western languages, are widely and timely publicized, the same for Oriental Languages (OL) is rare. For this reason, this special issue is dedicated to reporting the state-of-the-art and/or state-of-the- practice R&D efforts in IR technology for Oriental languages (IR-OL). Original papers in all areas of research in this field, including, but not limited to, the following are invited: * Natural Language Processing for IR-OL * Automatic Information Extraction * Multilingual and Cross Language Text Retrieval * Automatic Text Categorization * Automatic Text Summarization (Abstraction) * Structural and Conceptual Indexing * Dictionary Management * Query Interface * Intelligent Agent Technology * Information Filtering * Resource Discovery * Logic based IR Framework * Applications in IR-OL * Benchmarking GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION ========================= Original papers which are not submitted to, under reviewed by and published or to be published in other journals or conferences in any areas of IR-OL are invited to this special issue for possible publication. The publication language is ENGLISH and electronic submission is welcome. Authors should send FOUR copies of their paper to one of the following co-editors by January 2, 1998: For papers in relation to IR on Korean and Japanese: Professor Jong-Hyeok Lee Department of Computer Science and Engineering POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) San 31 Hyoja-dong Nam-ku, Pohang 790-784 Republic of Korea Email: jhleeMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
crl.nmsu.edu>- --------------------- PLEASE POST -------------------------- Call for Communications The Journal "Traitement Automatique des Langues" will publish a special issue on multilingual processing: Theme - --- Multilingual processing presents special challenges for Natural Language Processing. Most NLP research and applications concentrate on one language only and rarely deal with either low-level problems (multiple codesets, localization vs. internationalization, linguistic variants) or higher-level problems (organization of multilingual lexicons and grammars). This special issue will recognize the importance of adequate low-level processing and multilingual software organization, describe multilingual applications, and present approaches to the structuration and development of multilingual lexicons and grammars. Topics (non limitative) - ---- - multilingual text processing - localization and internationalization - multilingual information retrieval and extraction - multilingual MT systems - multilingual text generation - multilingual WWW - multilingual dictionaries and terminological databases - multilingual ontologies and thesaurii - multilingual grammars and parsers Format - ---- Papers (30 pages max in double space, Helvetica 12) are accepted in RTF, Latex or MIF formats. Latex style is downloadable from http://ticotico.linguist.jussieu.fr/~atala/tal/normes.html. Papers can also be submitted in French. Papers should be submitted to (e-mail preferred): Rimi Zajac Computing Research Laboratory New Mexico State University Box 30001 / Dept. 3CRL Las Cruces NM 88003 USA Tel +1-505-646-5782 Fax +1-505-646-6218 Email zajacMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
