CALL FOR PAPERS:

30th CONFERENCE OF THE SPANISH SOCIETY

FOR NATURAL LANGUAGE
PROCESSING (SEPLN 2014)
September 17-19, 2014

INTRODUCTION
-----------------------


The 30th edition of the Annual Conference of the Spanish Society for
Natural Language Processing (SEPLN) will take place in Universitat de
Girona, Girona, Spain on 17-19 September 2014.  We also expect to organize
associated workshops.


The huge amount of information available in digital format and in different
languages calls for systems to enable us to access this vast library in an
increasingly more structured way.

In this same area, there is a renewed interest in improving information
accessibility and information exploitation in multilingual environments.
Many of the formal foundations for dealing appropriately with these
necessities have been, and are still being established in the area of
Natural Language Processing and its many branches: Information extraction
and retrieval, Questions answering systems, Machine translation, Automatic
analysis of textual content, Text summarization, Text generation, and
Speech recognition and synthesis.

The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for discussion and
communication where the latest research work and developments in the field
of Natural Language Processing (NLP) can be presented by scientific and
business communities. The conference also aims at exposing new
possibilities of real applications and R&D projects in this field.

Moreover, as in previous editions, there is the intention of identifying
future guidelines or paths for basic research and foreseen software
applications, in order to compare them against the market needs. Finally,
the conference intends to be an appropriate forum in helping new
professionals to become active members in this field.
