Special Issue on *Human Language Technologies for Educational Applications*

=================================================================

Research and development in the NLP (Natural Language Processing) community
has advanced NLP techniques for educational applications. For example, the
NLP community in north America organizes a series of workshops on
Innovative Use of NLP for Building Educational Applications (BEA) to
improve existing capabilities and to generate creative ways to use NLP in
educational applications for writing, reading, assessment, and so on. The
previous BEA workshops were in conjunction with promotive conferences in
NLP area (either ACL or NAACL HLT). In addition to research papers in the
above workshops, several shared tasks were also organized, e.g. Native
Language Identification (NLI) competition at the BEA-2013 workshop, the
CoNLL 2013/2014 shared task focusing on grammatical error correction for
English as a foreign language learners, and the SIGHAN 2013/2014 Chinese
Spelling Check Bakeoff. All of these competitions will increase the
visibility of educational application research in the NLP community.

The ICCE 2014 in Japan will provide an ideal opportunity to bring together
again influential as well as aspiring researchers in computer education
area, to deliberate and interact on a range of research issues. We
encourage submissions of papers on all topics in the general areas related
to NLP techniques for educational applications. Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:


   - Automated Evaluation for Learners' Responses
      - Spelling Error Check
      - Grammatical Error Detection / Identification / Correction
      - Discourse Analysis
