*Applied Natural Language Processing*



Special Track at

The 28th International FLAIRS Conference

In cooperation with the American Association for Artificial Intelligence

Hollywood, Florida, USA

May 18 - 20, 2015

Paper submission deadline: November 17, 2014.

Notifications: January 19, 2015.

Camera ready version due: February 23, 2015.



*All accepted papers will be published in FLAIRS proceedings by the AAAI*.





*Call for Papers*



*What is ANLP?*

The track on Applied 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 the handicapped (no typing needed) and
elderly leading to an ever increasing user base for computer systems.



*What is the GOAL of the track?*

The goal of the ANLP track is to inform researchers as to current project
and studies that identify, investigate, and (begin to) resolve issues that
relate to human/computer language interaction.



*Who might be interested?*

Papers and contributions on traditional basic and applied language
processing issues are welcome as well as novel challenges to the NLP/CL
community: bioNLP, spam filtering, security, multilingual processing,
learning environments, multimodal communication, 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.



*What kind of studies will be of interest?*

We invite highly original papers that describe work in, but not limited to,
the following areas:

1. NL-based representations and knowledge systems

2. Lexical Semantics

3. Syntax

4. Co-reference Resolution

5. Word Sense Disambiguation

6. Text Cohesion and Coherence

7. Dialogue Management Systems

8. Language Generation

9. Language Models

10. Human Computer Interfaces - in particular multimodal human-computer
communication

and language as the only acceptable human-computer communication channel for

handicapped and elderly

11. NL in Learning Environments

12. Machine Learning applied to NL problems

13. Multilingual Processing

14. Standardization, Language Resources, Corpora Building and Annotation
Languages

15. Semantic Web, Ontologies, Reasoning

16. Semantic Similarity Metrics

17. Applications: Machine Translation, Information Retrieval,
Summarization, Intelligent

Tutoring, Question Answering, Information Extraction and others

18. Other related topics



Note: We invite *original* papers (i.e. work not previously submitted, in
submission, or to be submitted to another conference during the reviewing
process).



*Submission Guidelines*

Interested authors should format their papers according to
<http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php>AAAI formatting
guidelines <http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php>. The papers
should be original work (i.e., not submitted, in submission, or submitted
to another conference while in review). Papers should not exceed 6 pages (4
pages for a poster) and are due by November 17, 2014. For FLAIRS-28, the
2015 conference, the reviewing is a double blind process. Fake author names
and affiliations must be used on submitted papers to provide double-blind
reviewing. Papers must be submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference
system, which can be accessed through the main conference web site (
http://www.flairs-28.info/). Note: do not use a fake name for your
EasyChair login - your EasyChair account information is hidden from
reviewers. Authors should indicate the [your track name] special track for
submissions. *The proceedings of FLAIRS will be* *published by the AAAI*.
Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a form transferring
copyright of their contribution to AAAI. FLAIRS requires that there be *at
least one full author registration per paper*.





Please, check the website http://www.flairs-28.info/ for further
information.



*Conference Proceedings*

Papers will be refereed and all accepted papers will appear in the
conference proceedings, which will be published by AAAI Press.
