Journal T.A.L.: Call for Submissions
Information Retrieval-oriented Natural Language Processing
Submission deadline: November 1st, 1999
Issue coordinated by Christian Jacquemin (LIMSI, Orsay)
http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/ATALA/tal/appel-ri.en.html
Theme
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because of the recent growth of electronic data available through the
Internet or digital libraries, information access has become a major
scientific issue. Evaluation conferences in information retrieval
have promoted the development of search engines and indexing
techniques over very large text databases.
In such a favorable context, several factors have promoted the convergence
of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Information Retrieval (IR):
* New NLP techniques have been designed. They allow for efficient
processing of large-scale textual data from various sources.
* Fine NLP techniques for automatic indexing and document handling have
lead to precision and recall rates higher than traditional text
simplification techniques.
* Evaluation conferences such as TREC (IR) or MUC (Information
Extraction) have promoted interdisciplinary projects with researchers
from NLP and IR, leading to fruitful interdisciplinary cooperations.
* The emergence of new paradigms in NLP has raised new scientific issues
and offered new experimental fields in Computational Linguistics.
Topics of interest (this list is not restrictive)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
The topics of interest include:
* morphological analysis, rule- or dictionary-based stemming,
* robust and partial parsing for IR,
* large-scale semantic disambiguation for IR,
* automatic acquisition of semantic knowledge, automatic thesaurus
construction for IR,
* computer-aided construction of large-scale linguistic resources for IR,
* recycling of IR data, such as thesauri, for IR-oriented NLP,
* automatic indexing or abstracting,
* automatic classification and routing, document categorization,
* integration of linguistic components in IR-oriented NLP applications,
* specification and evaluation of IR-oriented NLP systems,
* computational terminology as a means for building resources for
IR-oriented NLP.
Papers may focus on other topics in NLP provided that they address issues on
their application to IR (wrt to automatic indexing, text simplification,
query/document pairing, query expansion, text segmentation and
classification, etc).
Format
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Papers (30 pages max, Helvetica 12) are accepted in RTF or Latex + ps
formats. Latex style is can be downloaded from
http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/ATALA/tal/tal.html.
Submissions formats are available in the issues of the T.A.L. journal and
will be sent to the contributors upon request to Christian Jacquemin.
Language
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submissions can be written in French or in English.
Submission of articles

Papers are preferably submitted electronically:
jacquemin at limsi.fr
or through hard copies at:

FRANCE
Submission deadlines
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
The submission deadline is November 1st, 1999 . If you plan to submit a
paper, please contact Christian Jacquemin before September 1st, 1999.
The articles will be reviewed by a member of the editorial board and an
external reviewer specialized in IR-oriented NLP. Decisions of the editorial
board and referees' reports will be transmitted to the authors before the
end of 1999.
The final versions of the accepted papers will be required for February
15th, 2000 for a publication in summer 2000.
The Journal T.A.L.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
T.A.L. is the journal of the French association for Computational Linguistic
ATALA : (http://www.biomath.jussieu.fr/ATALA/ ). Two issues are published
every year on various topics in Natural Language Processing. The Journal
T.A.L. is distributed by the French publisher Klincksieck.
