Call for Papers

Natural language processing (NLP) allows computers to process and understand 
human languages and because of its wide range of applications as well as its 
challenges, has become a very active research area. The field covers basic 
research, technologies, applications and engineering. It addresses areas such as 
automatic parsing and tagging, named entity recognition, word sense 
disambiguation, sentence understanding, grammar induction, machine translation, 
information extraction, automatic question answering, text summarization, and 
text mining. State-of-the-art NLP research combines sophisticated and deep 
linguistic modeling and data analysis with innovative probabilistic and machine 
learning approaches.

The goals of this track are to provide participants with an opportunity to
exchange ideas, approaches and implementations of computational systems, to
highlight the common challenges faced by all practitioners, to assess the state
of the art in the field, and to identify promising areas for future
collaborative research in the development of NLP resources and systems.
