Special Track
On
Natural Language Processing and Knowledge Mining
Natural language processing (NLP) allows computers to process and  
understand human languages and because of its wide range of  
applications as well as its challenges, has become a very active  
research area. The field covers basic research, technologies,  
applications and engineering. It addresses areas such as automatic  
parsing and tagging, named entity recognition, word sense  
disambiguation, sentence understanding, grammar induction, machine  
translation, information extraction, automatic question answering,  
text summarization, and text mining. State-of-the-art NLP research  
combines sophisticated and deep linguistic modeling and data analysis  
with innovative probabilistic and machine learning approaches.
The goals of this track are to provide participants with an  
opportunity to exchange ideas, approaches and implementations of  
computational systems, to highlight the common challenges faced by all  
practitioners, to assess the state of the art in the field, and to  
identify promising areas for future collaborative research in the  
development of NLP resources and systems.
