and Knowledge Mining

   The 7th International Conference on Informatics and Systems (INFOS  
2010)
	Special Track On Natural Language Processing and Knowledge Mining
				28 - 30 March, 2010

				Giza, Egypt

Because of its wide range of applications as well as its challenges,
NLP has become a very active research area. Subjects of interest
include basic research, technologies, applications and engineering,
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.

The following is a non-exhaustive list of topics covered by the track:
·  Word Sense Disambiguation
·  Named Entities Identification
·  Anaphora resolution
·  Statistical vs. Linguistic Approaches
·  Language Modeling
·  Spoken Language Processing
·  Speech Recognition and Language Models
·  Text to Speech and Language Models
·  Dialog Strategy and Technology
·  Natural Language Learning, Generation and Understanding
·  Evaluation of Natural Language Systems
·  Lexical, Semantic Resources and Corpora
·  Corpora Linguistics
·  Machine Translation
·  Information Retrieval
·  Cross Language Information Retrieval
·  Information Extraction
·  Question Answering
·  Domain-Specific Man-machine Dialog
·  Ontology Learning from Text
·  Text Categorization and Summarization
·  Text Mining and Machine Learning
·  Opinion Mining
·  Knowledge Discovery and Acquisition from Text
·  Language Knowledge Engineering
·  NLP Applications in E-Learning
·  NLP Applications in E-Commerce
·  NLP E-mail Filtering
