            IEEE Intelligent Systems:

            Special Issue on Advances in Natural Language Processing

    Fabio Ciravegna University of Sheffield, UK
    Sanda Harabagiu , University of Texas at Dallas, USA


The inherent complexity of processing human language imposes several
challenging difficulties for the integration of the Natural Language
Processing (NLP) technology in current systems.
This special issue intends to present the state-of-the-art in
Natural Language Technology when applied to either text or speech
processing. We invite original and high quality submission reporting on
NLP applications or describing implemented NLP systems either in
isolation or as part of broader systems.

Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

    Question answering
    Information Extraction
    Dialogue
    Summarization and generation
    Machine translation

In particular we welcome papers focusing on:
     Applications involving the use of NLP;
     Opportunities for the use of NLP;
     Challenges and requirements of current state-of-the-art Natural
     Language Processing techniques (e.g. portability, robustness,
                                efficiency and effectiveness issues);
     Novel applications of NLP techniques.
