CALL FOR PAPERS

Natural Language Processing in Artificial Intelligence - NLPinAI 2021
Online Streaming 4-6 February, 2021

http://www.icaart.org/NLPinAI.aspx?y=2021

Special Session within
the 13th International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence -
ICAART 2021
http://www.icaart.org

-------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE
Computational and technological developments that incorporate natural
language are proliferating. Adequate coverage encounters difficult problems
related to partiality, underspecification, and context-dependency, which
are signature features of information in nature and natural languages.
Furthermore, agents (humans or computational systems) are information
conveyors, interpreters, or participate as components of informational
content. Generally, language processing depends on agents' knowledge,
reasoning, perspectives, and interactions.

The session covers theoretical work, applications, approaches, and
techniques for computational models of information and its presentation by
language (artificial, human, or natural in other ways). The goal is to
promote computational systems of intelligent natural language processing
and related models of thought, mental states, reasoning, and other
cognitive processes.

TOPICS
We invite contributions relevant to the following topics, without being
limited to them:

- Type theories for applications to language and information processing
- Computational grammar
- Computational syntax
- Computational semantics of natural languages
- Computational syntax-semantics interface
- Interfaces between morphology, lexicon, syntax, semantics, speech, text,
pragmatics
- Parsing
- Multilingual processing
- Large-scale grammars of natural languages
- Interfaces between morphology, lexicon, syntax, semantics, speech, text,
pragmatics
- Models of computation and algorithms for natural language processing
- Computational models of partiality, underspecification, and
context-dependency
- Models of situations, contexts, and agents, for applications to language
processing
- Information about space and time in language models and processing
- Models of computation and algorithms for linguistics
- Data science in language processing
- Machine learning of language
- Interdisciplinary methods
- Integration of formal, computational, model theoretic, graphical,
diagrammatic, statistical, and other related methods
- Logic for information extraction or expression in written and spoken
language
- Language processing based on biological fundamentals of information and
languages
- Computational neuroscience of language

PUBLICATIONS

After thorough reviewing by the special session program committee, all
accepted papers will be published in a special section of the conference
proceedings book - under an ISBN reference and on digital support - and
submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation
Index (CPCI/ISI), DBLP, EI (Elsevier Engineering Village Index), Scopus,
Semantic Scholar and Google Scholar.

publications based on selected papers presented at NLPinAI 2021, ICAART
2021.

A book of selected works based on NLPinAI 2020 at ICAART 2020 is on its way
to appear:
Natural Language Processing in Artificial Intelligence - NLPinAI 2020.
Book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence (SCI).
