CALL For Papers ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arabic Natural Language Processing Session (ANLP-ACIT’2008)
at the International Arab Conference on Information Technology
(ACIT'2008)
December 16-18, 2008 Hammamet, Tunisia
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ www.acit2k.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Session Description
Arabic language is spoken in more than 20 countries. It is the native
language of over 200 million people.
Arabic is considered among the languages that are difficult to process
automatically. Nevertheless, the necessity of Arabic NLP systems is
being essential especially with the Internet explosion. Thus, the need
to help Arabic people to have access to information and technologies
in their mother tongues is being of great importance.
The aim of this session is to bring together researchers and
industrials that are actively involved in Arabic language processing
and give them an opportunity to exchange ideas, approaches and
implementations of computational systems; to discuss the common
challenges faced by all practitioners; and to assess the state of the
art in the field. In addition, one of the aims of this session is to
identify promising areas for future collaborative research in the
development of Arabic NLP systems.
This session includes but is not limited to the following topics:
* Part of speech tagging
* Morphological analysis and generation
* Shallow and deep parsing
* Word sense and syntactic disambiguation
* Semantic analysis
* Information retrieval
* Information extraction
* Question answering
* Text clustering and classification
* Text summarization
* Text and web content mining
* Named entity recognition
