*********************************************************************

1st INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON STATISTICAL LANGUAGE AND SPEECH
PROCESSING
SLSP 2013
Tarragona, Spain
July 29-31, 2013

Organised by:

Research Group on Mathematical Linguistics (GRLMC)
Rovira i Virgili University

Research Institute for Information and Language Processing (RIILP)
University of Wolverhampton

*********************************************************************

AIMS:

SLSP is the first event in a series to host and promote research on the
wide spectrum of statistical methods that are currently in use in
computational language or speech processing. It aims at attracting
contributions from both fields. Though there exist large, well-known
conferences including papers in any of these fields, SLSP is a more
focused meeting where synergies between areas and people will hopefully
happen. SLSP will reserve significant space for young scholars at the
beginning of their careers.

VENUE:

SLSP 2013 will take place in Tarragona, 100 km. to the south of
Barcelona.

SCOPE:

The conference invites submissions discussing the employment of
statistical methods (including machine learning) within language and
speech processing. The list below is indicative and not exhaustive:

- phonology, morphology
- syntax, semantics
- discourse, dialogue, pragmatics
- statistical models for natural language processing
- supervised, unsupervised and semi-supervised machine learning methods
  applied to natural language, including speech
- statistical methods, including biologically-inspired methods
- similarity
- alignment
- language resources
- part-of-speech tagging
- parsing
- semantic role labelling
- natural language generation
- anaphora and coreference resolution
- speech recognition 
- speaker identification/verification
- speech transcription
- text-to-speech synthesis
- machine translation
- translation technology
- text summarisation
- information retrieval
- text categorisation
- information extraction
- term extraction
- spelling correction
- text and web mining
- opinion mining and sentiment analysis
- spoken dialogue systems
- author identification, plagiarism and spam filtering

STRUCTURE:

SLSP 2013 will consist of:

‐ invited talks
‐ invited tutorials
‐ peer-reviewed contributions

INVITED SPEAKERS:

Yoshua Bengio (Montréal), tutorial Learning Deep Representations

Christof Monz (Amsterdam), Challenges and Opportunities of Multilingual
