****************************************************************************

The track on Applied Natural Language Processing is a forum for researchers working in natural language processing (NLP)/computational linguistics(CL) and related areas. The rapid pace of development of online materials, most of them in textual form or text combined with other media (visual, audio), has led to a revived interest for tools capable to understand, organize and mine those materials. Novel human-computer interfaces, for instance talking heads, can benefit from language understanding and generation techniques with big impact on user satisfaction. Moreover, language can facilitate human-computer interaction for the handicapped (no typing needed) and elderly leading to an ever increasing  user base for computer systems.

The goal of the ANLP track is to inform researchers as to current project and studies that identify, investigate, and (begin to) resolve issues that relate to human/computer language interaction.

We invite highly original papers that describe work in, but not limited to, the following areas:

* NL-based representations and knowledge systems
* Syntax and Semantics (similarity metrics, lexical semantics)
* Co-reference Resolution
* Word Sense Disambiguation
* Text Cohesion and Coherence
* Dialogue Management and NL-based Human-Computer Interaction
* Language Generation (answer and question generation)
* Language Models
* NL in Learning Environments
* Machine Learning applied to NL problems
* Multilingual Processing
* BioNLP
* Standardization, Language Resources, Corpora Building and Annotation Languages
* Semantic Web, Ontologies, Reasoning
* Applications: Machine Translation, Information Retrieval, Summarization, Intelligent Tutoring, Question Answering, Information Extraction and others
* Other related topics

PAPER SUBMISSION
Submitted papers must be original, and not submitted concurrently to a journal or another conference. Full papers may be up to 6 pages, and poster papers up to 2 pages. Papers must be in AAAI format, and submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference system (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=flairs25) by selecting "Applied Natural Language Processing (ANLP)" under the "New Submission" menu. Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of FLAIRS-25 which will be published by the AAAI. Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a form transferring copyright of their contribution to AAAI. An author of each accepted paper is required to register, attend, and present the paper at FLAIRS.

It is the requirement of FLAIRS that there will be at least one full author registration per paper.
