Preliminary Call for Papers for NAACL HLT 2010

http://naaclhlt2010.isi.edu

June 1 - June 6, 2010, Los Angeles, California

Important Dates:

Deadline for BOTH Full and Short paper submission: Tuesday, December 1,
2009
Notification to Authors: Monday, January 25, 2010


NAACL HLT 2010 combines the Annual Meeting of the North American
Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL) with the Human
Language Technology Conference (HLT) of NAACL. The conference covers a
broad spectrum of disciplines working towards enabling intelligent
systems to interact with humans using natural language, and towards
enhancing human-human communication through services such as speech
recognition, automatic translation, information retrieval, text
summarization, and information extraction. This year, we are especially
interested in papers discussing research with noisy data, including data
from informal communications (such as, Twitter, Blogs, Email, SMS) and
processed data (such as, Speech, OCR, Historical Data, Machine
Translation).  NAACL HLT 2010 will feature full papers, short papers,
demonstrations, and a doctoral consortium, as well as pre-conference
tutorials and post-conference workshops. 

The conference invites the submission of full papers on substantial,
original, and unpublished research in disciplines that could impact
human language processing systems. We also encourage the submission of
short papers that can be characterized as a small, focused contribution,
a work in progress, a negative result, an opinion piece or an
interesting application note.

Topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas, and are
understood to be applied to speech and/or text: 

-	Phonology

-	Morphology (including word segmentation)

-	Part of speech tagging

-	Syntax and parsing (e.g., grammar induction, formal  grammar,
algorithms) 

-	Grammar Engineering

-	Word sense disambiguation

-	Lexical semantics

-	Formal semantics and logic

-	Mathematical Linguistics

-	Textual entailment and paraphrasing

-	Discourse and pragmatics

-	Knowledge acquisition and representation

-	Statistical and machine learning techniques for language
processing 

-	Multilingual processing

-	Noisy data analysis

-	Large-scale language processing

-	Machine translation

-	Language generation

-	Summarization

-	Question answering

-	Information retrieval (including monolingual and CLIR)

-	Information extraction

-	Topic classification and information filtering

-	Non-topical classification (e.g., sentiment/attribution/ genre
analysis) 

-	Topic clustering

-	Text and speech mining

-	Spoken term detection and spoken document indexing

-	Speech indexing and retrieval

-	Speech analysis and recognition

-	Speech synthesis

-	Speech understanding

-	Dialog systems

-	Speech-centered applications (e.g., human-computer, human- robot
interaction, education and  learning systems, assistive technologies,
digital entertainment) 

-	Evaluation (e.g., intrinsic, extrinsic, user studies)

-	Development of language resources (e.g., lexicons, ontologies,
annotated corpora) 

-	Rich transcription (automatic annotation of information
structure and sources in speech) 

-	Multimodal representations and processing, including speech,
gaze, gesture, and other sensory inputs

Detailed submission information will soon be available at:
