Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 01-Jul-2010 

Meeting Description:

The workshop aims at offering an insight into current research and 
developments within the interdisciplinary field of natural language 
processing, including those topics where Computational Linguistics and 
Web-based technologies intersect. Both areas are inherently 
multidisciplinary and working on related problems. The workshop is 
intended to foster collaboration in information and language technologies.

This workshop is also conceived to provide a forum for researchers at all 
levels and from heterogeneous backgrounds to present their work within 
this field of research. Moreover, it is intended to promote the area of 
Computational Linguistics in Argentina in particular and in Latin America in 
general, and to establish and consolidate connections between communities 
in the Iberoamerican area.

Submissions should describe original and unpublished research or 
innovative industrial applications. 

Call For Papers

Workshop on Natural Language Processing and Web-based technologies
held in conjunction with IBERAMIA 2010
November 1-5, 2010
Bahía Blanca, Argentina

http://www.cs.famaf.unc.edu.ar/~laura/nlpw/

Submissions are invited for papers, posters and demonstrations presenting 
high quality, previously unpublished research on all areas of computational 
linguistics and web-based technologies. Contributions may present results 
from completed as well as ongoing research, with an emphasis on novel 
approaches, methods, ideas, and perspectives. Submissions concerning 
languages in the Americas (including Portuguese and Spanish) are 
particularly welcome.

Workshop Motivation and Aims

The workshop aims at offering an insight into current research and 
developments within the interdisciplinary field of natural language 
processing, including those topics where Computational Linguistics and 
Web-based technologies intersect. Both areas are inherently 
multidisciplinary and working on related problems. The workshop is 
intended to foster collaboration in information and language technologies.

This workshop is also conceived to provide a forum for researchers at all 
levels and from heterogeneous backgrounds to present their work within 
this field of research. Moreover, it is intended to promote the area of 
Computational Linguistics in Argentina in particular and in Latin America in 
general, and to establish and consolidate connections between communities 
in the Iberoamerican area.

Submissions should describe original and unpublished research or 
innovative industrial applications. Topics for submissions include, but are 
not limited to:

-Spoken Language
-Language Generation
-Phonetics and Phonology
-Syntax and Morphology
-Lexicology and Lexicography
-Formal and Computational Semantics
-Pragmatics and Discourse
-Corpus Linguistics
-Psycholinguistics
-Linguistic Theories applied to NLP
-Statistical and Corpus-Based NLP
-Text Mining
-Machine Translation and Summarization
-Information Extraction
-Information Retrieval
-Classification and Clustering
-Question Answering
-Opinion Mining
-Human-Computer Interaction
-Systems Construction and Evaluation
-Clustering the blogosphere
-Blog summarization
-Subjectivity in texts
-Sentiment analysis
-Automatic humour recognition
-Folksonomies and social tagging
-Clustering and visualization of tag clouds
-Plagiarism detection of ideas
-Opinion analysis
-Sources of opinions and authorship attribution
-Product analysis and text-based market analysis
-Enterprise 2.0 search
-Web advisors

We welcome three types of contributions:

-Full papers for oral presentation (10 pages), presenting substantial, 
original and completed research work.

-Short papers for presentation as posters (6 pages), with a small, focused 
contribution, work in progress, a negative result or an opinion piece.

-Student research papers for presentation at the Student Session (10 
pages), authored exclusively by students.

Short papers/posters can be combined with a system demonstration.

The only accepted format for submitting papers is Adobe PDF. The format 
should follow the Springer instructions available at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.

As the review process will be double-blind, your submission must not 
include the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s). Furthermore, self-
references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., ''We previously showed 
(Pérez, 2003) ...'', must be avoided. Instead, citations such as ''Pérez 
(2003) previously showed ...'', must be used.

The organizers plan to publish selected high quality submissions to
the workshop as a special issue of a reputed scientific journal.

Important Dates

Deadline for paper submission: July 1, 2010 
Notification of acceptance: August 1, 2010
