Meeting Description:

The PROPOR’2022 Demonstration Program Committee invites submissions for
Demonstrations. Following the spirit of the previous PROPOR editions, the
demonstration track aims at bringing together Academia and Industry, creating
a forum where more than written or spoken descriptions of research are
available. Thus, demos should allow attendees to try and test them during
their presentation in a dedicated session adopting a more informal setting.
Products, systems, or tools are examples of acceptable demos. Both
early-research prototypes and mature systems may also be considered.


Call for Papers: 

The areas of interest include all topics related to theoretical and applied
issues of written and spoken Portuguese, such as, but not limited to (the same
topics as for the conference paper submission):
– Human speech production, perception, and communication – Human speech
production; Human speech and sound perception; Physiology and pathology of
spoken language; Paralinguistic and nonlinguistic cues (e.g., emotion and
expression).
– Linguistic Description and Theories – Phonology and phonetics, prosody
(e.g., production, perception, modeling), Syntactic, semantic, and anaphoric
phenomena.
– Natural Language Processing Tasks – Parsing, tagging, chunking, and
segmentation; Annotation, evaluation, semantic role labeling; Grammar
induction, subcategorization acquisition; Sentiment analysis and opinion
mining.
– Natural Language Processing Applications – Word sense disambiguation;
Dialect identification; Machine translation; Information retrieval; Plagiarism
detection, Question answering, etc.
– Speech Technologies – Spoken language generation and synthesis; Speech and
speaker recognition; Spoken language understanding.
– Speech Applications – Spoken language interfaces and dialogue systems;
Systems for information retrieval and information extraction; Systems for
speech-speech translation; Applications for aged and disabled people;
Applications for learning and education.
– Resources, standardization, and evaluation – Spoken language resources,
annotation, and tools; Spoken language evaluation and standardization; NLP
resources, annotation, and tools; NLP evaluation and standardization.
– Language and Speech processing in academic disciplines – Speech and Hearing
Sciences, Health, Biology Linguistics, Psychology, Education.
