Call for Papers

Goal

The track of Applied Natural Language Processing is a forum for researchers
working in natural language processing (NLP), computational linguistics
(CL), applied linguistics (AL) and related areas. The rapid pace of
development in natural language processing in textual studies, speech
recognition, speech production, and data mining has led to a revived
interest in tools able to understand, organize and extract information from
natural language sources. These include the analysis of online materials,
most of them in textual form or text combined with other media (visual,
audio), the use of innovative human-computer interfaces, such as interactive
agents, which benefit from language understanding, and the use of
computational tools to facilitate intelligent tutoring systems and
instructional methodology. In addition, natural language processing can
facilitate human-computer interaction for people with special needs, assist
in the organization of classification systems, and coordinate text
segmentation.

 

While papers and contributions on traditional issues are welcome, the 2008
special track will emphasize applications by the NLP/CL community,
particularly in areas such as multilingual processing, learning
environments, multimodal communication, bioNLP, spam filtering, language
acquisition, textual assessment, language varieties, materials development,
generic classification, and educational applications etc. We also encourage
papers in information retrieval, speech processing and machine learning that
present actual applications that can benefit from or have an impact on
NLP/CL.
