Meeting Description:

The University of Palermo, the ELLIADD laboratory from the University of
Bourgogne Franche-Comté, and the NooJ Association organize the NooJ 2018
International Conference in Palermo (IT), June 20-22, 2018.

THE NooJ PLATFORM

NooJ is a linguistic development environment that allows linguists to
formalize several levels of linguistic phenomena:

- Typography and spelling;
- Syllabification, phonemic and prosodic transcription;
- Lexicons of simple words, multiword units, and discontinuous expressions;
- Inflectional, derivational and agglutinative morphology;
- Local and structural syntax;
- Transformational syntax and paraphrase generation;
- Corpus Linguistics implementations and applications
- Automatic Text Parsing and Generation
- Natural Language Processing applications

NooJ provides linguists with tools to develop dictionaries, regular grammars,
context-free grammars, context-sensitive grammars and unrestricted grammars as
well as their graphical equivalent (finite-state, recursive and contextual
graphs) to formalize each linguistic phenomenon. NooJ’s multi-layer approach
allows linguists to accumulate elementary descriptions across different
linguistic levels. To learn more about NooJ, see: Formalizing Natural
Languages: the NooJ approach.

NooJ is used as a corpus processing tool as it allows linguists to apply their
linguistic resources in conjunction with sophisticated queries to large
corpora in real time, in order to construct indices and concordances, annotate
texts automatically and perform statistical analyses, etc.

NooJ’s linguistic engine has been inserted into a large number of NLP
applications such automatic semantic annotators, Named Entities Recognizers,
Information extractors, Paraphrase Generation, Business Intelligence, Machine
Translation, Web Semantics, etc.

NooJ is open-source, freely available at www.nooj4nlp.net and over 20
linguistic modules can already be freely downloaded, as well as its manual,
references, video tutorials in Arabic, Belarusian, Croatian, English, Italian
and Spanish, etc..

The Conference Intends to:

- Give NooJ users and researchers in Linguistics and in Computational
Linguistics the opportunity to meet and share their experience as developers,
researchers and teachers
- Present to NooJ users the latest linguistic resources and NLP applications
developed for/with NooJ, its latest functionalities, as well as its future
developments
- Offer researchers and graduate students two tutorials (one basic and one
advanced) to help them parse corpora and build NLP applications using NooJ
- Provide an occasion to present and discover the recent developments of NooJ
itself (v5)

Topics of Interest:

- Linguistic resources: Typography, Spelling, Syllabification, Phonemic and
Prosodic transcription, Morphology, Lexical Analysis, Local Syntax, Structural
Syntax, Transformational Analysis, Paraphrase Generation, Semantic
annotations, Semantic analysis, Description of rare and endangered languages
- Corpus processing: Corpus Linguistics, Information retrieval and extraction,
Discourse Analysis, applications of NooJ in the Social Sciences
- NLP applications: text parsing, text generation, text annotation, paraphrase
generation, Business Intelligence, Machine Translation


Call for Papers:

We invite the submission of abstracts in English until January 15, 2018. The
abstracts should contain the title, name, institution and email of the
author(s). Abstracts should not exceed one page (length between 300 and 600
words, references not included) and should be sent by email to
nooj2018 at gmail.com. All proposals will be reviewed by the scientific committee
and authors will be given notice of acceptance of their papers no later than
March 15, 2018.

Important Dates:

January, 31: Camera-ready abstract submission
February, 28: Notification of acceptance
March, 15: Conference registration

Camera-Ready:

The camera-ready version of the accepted abstracts should be sent to
nooj2018 at gmail.com in an open format (DOCX, ODT). All camera-ready abstracts
will be in the NooJ 2018 Book of Abstracts. After the conference, the Program
Committee will select a number of presented papers for publication in the
“Communications in Computer and Information Science” series of Springer
Verlag.
