Call for Papers

18th International Conference on Application of Natural Language to
Information Systems
19-21 JUNE 2013, UNIVERSITY OF SALFORD AT MEDIA CITY UK (www.nldb.org)

Since 1995, the NLDB conference aims at bringing together
researcher,industrials and potential users
interested in various application of Natural Language in the Database
and Information Systems field.
The integration of databases and natural language has been an utopia
for many years.
However, progress has been made and this is now an established field
thanks to developments in
Natural Language and technologies that made the storage and
manipulation of large electronic dictionaries possible.
As Information Systems are now evolving into the communication area,
the term databases should be considered in the
broader sense of information and communication systems. The use of
Natural Language in Software Engineering has
contributed to both improving the development process from the
viewpoints of developers (improve the process of
conceptual modeling, validation, etc) and the usabil-ity of
applications by users (natural language query interfaces,
semantic webs, etc).
NLDB 2013 invites researchers from academia and industry to submit
papers for oral or poster presentations on recent,
unpublished research that ad-dresses theoretical aspects, algorithms,
applications, architectures for applied and
integrated NLP, resources for applied NLP, and other aspects of NLP,
as well as review and discussion papers.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Applications of NLP in Information Systems: Multilingual Information
Systems, NLP in Requirement Engineering,
NLP in Knowledge Management, Semantic Data Integration and Data Cleaning

Social Media and Web Data: Corpus analysis, Language identification,
Text normalization, Robust NLP for social media,
Text classification, Information Extraction and Sentiment Analysis for
social media

Semantic Web Open Linked Data: Ontology Learning and Alignment,
Popu-lating ontologies, Querying Ontologies and linked data,
Semantic tagging and classification, Ontology-driven NLP

Question Answering (QA): NL interfaces to databases, QA using web
data, multi-lingual QA,
Non-factoid QA (how/why/opinion questions, lists), geographical QA, QA
corpora and training sets

Natural language and Ubiquitous Computing: Pervasive Computing,
Embedded, Robotic and Mobile Applications.

Natural Language in Conceptual Modeling: Analysis of Natural Language
Descriptions, Terminological Ontologies,
Consistency Checking, Metadata Creation and Harvesting,
Ontology-driven Systems Integration, Ontology Management

NLP Applications: Business Intelligence, Subjectivity and Sentiment
Analy-sis, QA systems, Event Detection,
Named Entity and Event Detection, Infor-mation Extraction,
Summarization, NLP for Data Mining,
NLP for Data Ware-houses, Plagiarism detection, Identity detection.
