Call Deadline: 28-Feb-2018 

Meeting Description:

Following the success of previous QUALICO conferences, organised by
International Quantitative Linguistics Association (IQLA), we invite
contributions on all aspects of quantitative linguistics and text analysis.
The main topic of the conference is: Information in language: coding,
extraction and applications.

Final Call for Papers:

The forthcoming conference of quantitative linguistics QUALICO 2018 will be
held in Wroclaw (Poland), July 5-8, 2018.

We are waiting for your submissions!

There are some news:

1) To satisfy your requests, the Organizing Committee has decided to extend
the abstract submission deadline till February 28, 2018 11:59  pm (GMT).
Notifications of acceptance will be sent to participants by April 30, 2018. 

In the case of the participants who need visas, we will accelerate the review
process in order to leave enough time for administrative procedures.

2) We are happy to inform you that a pre-conference workshop and a competition
in mathematical linguistics will be held on the 3-4 July. Any questions
regarding the workshop and the competition should be sent to Michał Śliwiński
at michal.sliwinski at uwr.edu.pl. 

Participation in both the workshop and the competition is free of charge. More
information will be available  on the conference web page next week. 

We invite you to participate.

3) We are happy to inform you that we have received the funding from the city
of Wrocław for an exhibition  accompanying QUALICO  2018 conference. This
exhibition will present an outline history of the collaboration between
mathematicians and language scientists in Wrocław and in Poland, conducting,
among others, the early research on stylometry and 'Wrocław taxonomy' (one of
the first methods of multidimensional modelling developed for practical
purposes). 

All up-to-date relevant information is available at the conference webpage at
qualico2018.uni.wroc.pl

We particularly encourage submissions on:

- Descriptions of all aspects of language and text phenomena, including
psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, dialectology, pragmatics, language
typology, usage based approaches, etc., as far as they use quantitative
mathematical methods (probability theory, stochastic processes, differential
and difference equations, multidimensional analysis, fuzzy logics and set
theory, function theory, etc.)
- Applications of methods, models, or findings from quantitative linguistics
to problems of natural language processing, text classification, stylistics,
authorship attribution, language teaching, information retrieval,
scientometrics, bibliometrics, text mining, language complexity and complex
network analysis
- Methods of linguistic measurement, model construction, sampling and test
theory
- Epistemological issues such as explanation of language and text phenomena,
contributions to theory construction, systems theory, philosophy of science

Presentations should be in English. Each paper will be allotted 30 minutes (20
minutes presentation + 10 minutes discussion). There will also be a poster
session and a round table session.

Abstracts in English not exceeding 500 words (including key words and
references) should be submitted not later than February 28, 2018 (EasyChair
abstract submission will close February 28, 2018 11:59:59 pm).
