Meeting Description:

The workshop “Linguistic Complexity and Natural Language Processing” will be
held at COLING 2018 in Santa Fe, New-Mexico, USA. 

The workshop focuses on linguistic complexity and its relevance in the field
of natural language processing. We propose a cross-discipline workshop that
fosters exchange of ideas between people in the area of artificial
intelligence and natural language processing and people dealing with natural
language complexity from a cognitive or a theoretical point of view. The main
objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different
areas that have in common their interest on linguistic complexity (from a
practical or theoretical perspective) boosting the interchange of knowledge
and methods between specialists that have approached complexity from different
viewpoints. We want to promote interdisciplinarity among researchers that are
dealing with any type of language complexity.

2nd Call for Papers:

In this workshop, we are interested in contributions introducing new methods,
models, definitions and measures to assess natural languages complexity (in
human and automatic processing). We are especially interested in computational
and formal approaches to linguistic complexity.

Topics:

Topics include (but are not limited to):

- Complexity in human natural language processing
- Complexity in automatic natural language processing
- Formal tools for measuring linguistic complexity
- Natural language processing tools for measuring linguistic complexity
- Machine learning tools for measuring linguistic complexity
- Information theory measures of linguistic complexity
- Complex systems theory measures for linguistic complexity
- Typological approaches to linguistic complexity
- Psycholinguistic approaches to linguistic complexity
- Cognitive approaches to linguistic complexity

Submissions:

Authors are invited to submit unpublished work including original research
contributions, applications, surveys, state-of-the-art papers, position papers
and work in progress papers.

Submission types:

- Long papers: up to 8 pages of content, plus two additional pages containing
references.
- Short papers/Demos: up to 4 pages of content, plus two additional pages
containing references.
- Position papers: up to 4 pages of content, plus two additional pages
containing references.

Submitted papers must be formatted according to COLING 2018 style guidelines
which can be found at http://coling2018.org/paper-types/

All proposed papers must be submitted electronically, in PDF format, through
https://www.softconf.com/coling2018/ws-LCNLP/

Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and available in
the ACL Anthology.

Review Process:

All submitted papers will undergo a thorough review process; each paper will
be referred by at least two experts in the field based on relevance,
originality, significance, quality and clarity.

Deadlines:

- Paper submission deadline: May 25, 2018.
- Notification of acceptance: June 20, 2018.
- Camera-ready papers due: June 30, 2018.
- Workshop dates: August 25, 2018.
