Meeting Description:

The 24th edition of the French NLP conference will take place this year in
Orleans, the heart of the Loire Valley region, famous for its castles and
located 125 km south of Paris. We will welcome participants on the Orleans
wooded campus from Monday 26 to Friday, June 30, 2017.

This event will include several joint events: conferences, workshops, software
demonstrations and a Professional Fair. 

The conference will be organized by three laboratories specialized in the
field of NLP, computing and corpus linguistics: LLL (Laboratoire Ligérien de
Linguistique), LIFO (Laboratoire d'Informatique Fondamentale d'Orléans) and LI
(Laboratoire Informatique de Tours). The 2017 edition of the conference will
welcome with interest proposals of communication related to Digital Humanities
and corpus linguistics, as well as its standard NLP topics.

This edition gathers:

- the 24rd French Conference on Natural Language Processing (Traitement
Automatique des Langues Naturelles - TALN),

- the 19th Student Research Meeting on Natural Language Processing  
(Rencontre des Étudiants Chercheurs en Informatique pour le Traitement  
Automatique des Langues - RÉCITAL).

- the 4th Professional Fair in Natural Language Processing (SITAL)

Call for Papers:

The submitted papers should address topics related to NLP, including but not
limited to:

- Phonetics, phonology, morphology, part-of-speech tagging
- Syntax, grammars, parsing, chunking
- Semantics, Pragmatics, Discourse,
- Lexical and distributional semantics,
- Linguistic and psycho-linguistic aspects of NLP,
- Language resources for NLP,
- Evaluation methods for NLP,
- NLP applications (information retrieval and extraction,
  question-answering, generation and summarization, dialogue, sentiment
  analysis, etc.),
- NLP and multi-modal interface (speech, vision, etc.),
- NLP and multilingualism,
- NLP for the Web and social networks,
- NLP and low-resourced languages,
- NLP and sign language,
- NLP and ethics

Types of Submissions:

Two formats of papers are proposed: long papers (from 12 pages of content plus
up to 2 pages for references) and short papers (6 pages of content plus up to
2 pages for references).  

Long papers will be presented orally and short papers as posters.

TALN welcomes two types of communications:

- Papers presenting original research work
- Position statements presenting a point of view on the state of NLP research

Submissions in English are acceptable if one of the authors is not a French
speaker.  The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

Submissions must present original, unpublished research. Literal translations
of previously published papers are not admitted. However, translations
enriched with new content can be submitted, provided that this fact is
explicitly stated, and that the original sources are pointed at, under the
preservation of anonymity.  

Authors will be authorized to extend the final version of their accepted paper
in order to integrate the remarks of the reviewers : 14 pages plus up to 2
pages for references for long papers, and 7 pages plus up to 2 pages of
references for short papers.

Selection Criteria:

Each submission will be reviewed by at least three specialists of the domain.
The following criteria apply:

- Appropriateness to the conference topics
- Substance and originality of the contribution
- Correctness of the technical and scientific content
- Critical discussion of the results, in particular with respect to the state
of the art
- Position of the work in the context of international research
- Organization and clarity of presentation.

For position statements, the following qualities are emphasized:

- Scope of the presentation and consideration of the state of the art
- Originality and impact of the presented point of view.

A committee composed of members of the TAL Journal Editorial Board and of the
TALN Program Committee will select, among the accepted papers, one paper (TALN
Award) which will be recommended for publication (as an extended paper) in the
journal Traitement Automatique des Langues (TAL).

Submission Procedure:

Submitted papers must conform to the official guidelines and style as
described in the style file and must be in the PDF format.

Abstracts should be submitted using the following EasyChair page:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=recital2017 .

Since the review process is double-blind, the submitted papers must not
include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references and
project names that reveal the author's identity, e.g., ''We previously showed
(Smith, 1991) ...'', must be avoided.  The authors should use instead
citations such as ''Smith (1991) previously showed ...''. Acknowledgements
should not be included in the first submission, and can be added instead to
the final version of a paper after acceptance.
