Final Call For Papers:

Deadline extended to Feb 19. 2019!

First International Workshop on e-Commerce and NLP (ECNLP 2019)
Co-located with WWW  2019 in San Francisco (May 14, 2019)
https://sites.google.com/view/ecnlp

NLP and IR have been powering e-Commerce applications since the early days of
the fields. Today, NLP and IR already play a significant role in e-commerce
tasks, including product search, recommender systems, product question
answering, machine translation (MT), sentiment analysis, product description
and review summarization, and customer review processing, amongst many other
tasks. With the exploding popularity of chatbots and shopping assistants –
both text- and voice-based – NLP, IR, question answering, and dialogue systems
research is poised to transform e-commerce once again, but requires a forum
where new and unfinished ideas could be discussed. The ECNLP workshop aims to
provide a venue for the dissemination of late-breaking research results and
ideas related to e-commerce and online shopping, bringing together researchers
from both academia and industry.

Co-located with WWW 2019, the ECNLP workshop will provide a venue for the
dissemination of NLP and IR research results related to e-commerce and online
shopping, bringing together researchers from both academia and industry.  The
workshop welcomes submission of late-breaking and preliminary research
results, as well as opinion and position papers.

- Product classification and cataloguing
