Meeting Description:

The 33rd International Conference of the Spanish Society for Natural Language
Processing (SEPLN) will be held from 20 to 22 September 2017 at the
Universidad de Murcia (Murcia, Spain).

The huge amount of information available in digital format in different
languages calls for systems enabling the access to this vast library in an
increasingly more structured way. Furthermore, there is a renewed interest in
improving information accessibility and information exploitation in
multilingual environments. Most of the formal foundations for dealing
appropriately with these necessities have been, and are still being,
established in the area of Natural Language Processing and its many branches:
Information Extraction and Retrieval, Question Answering Systems, Machine
Translation, Automatic Analysis of Textual Content, Text Summarization, Text
Generation, and Speech Recognition and Synthesis. 

The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for discussion and
communication where the latest research work and developments in the field of
Natural Language Processing (NLP) can be presented by scientific and business
communities. The conference also aims to present new possibilities of real
applications and R&D projects in this field. 

Moreover, like in previous years, this conference intends to identify future
guidelines or paths for basic research and expected software applications, in
order to compare them against the market needs. Finally, the conference
provides a useful forum for the exchange of views and ideas, being especially
beneficial to new professionals who intend to become active members in the
field. 

Likewise, this year a Doctoral Symposium has been organised again, which will
provide doctoral students investigating issues in natural language processing
with a unique opportunity to have interaction with other researchers and
receive feedback regarding their research.

2nd Call for Papers: 

Extended deadline for proposals: June 30, 2017

The Doctoral Symposium of the Spanish Society for Natural Language Processing
(SEPLN 2017) intends to provide a venue for student researchers in
Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing to present their
work. Students will receive feedback and mentorship from an experienced
researcher in the field based on the topic of their submission. 

All PhD students are invited to submit short papers (4 pages) describing their
thesis projects. The paper must be signed by a single author (doctoral
candidate) and must follow the SEPLN format. The article submitted will be the
basis for the detailed discussions in the Symposium. In order to initiate
discussion, the document should include: 

- Rationale for the proposed research
- Background and related work (including important references)
- Description of the proposed research, including the main hypotheses for
research
- Methodology and the proposed experiments (if necessary)
- Specific issues of research to be discussed.

Papers for the Doctoral Symposium will be selected according to their quality
and potential impact on future research within the field of Natural Language
Processing. The selected works will not be published in the SEPLN journal, but
they will be included in an electronic version of the conference proceedings.
Therefore, PhD students could send an extended version of their research in
order to be considered for the main conference. 

Submission of Contributions: 

All contributions must be submitted electronically using the Myreview system
available at http://www.sepln.org/myreview-sepln59/
