Meeting URL: http://grammars.grlmc.com/SLSP2016/ 

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

Organized by:
 
Department of Computer Science and Engineering
Department of Cybernetics
University of West Bohemia
 
Research Group on Mathematical Linguistics (GRLMC)
Rovira i Virgili University
 
http://grammars.grlmc.com/SLSP2016/
  
Aims:
 
SLSP is a yearly conference series aimed at promoting and displaying excellent
research on the wide spectrum of statistical methods that are currently in use
in computational language or speech processing. It aims at attracting
contributions from both fields. Though there exist large, well-known
conferences and workshops hosting contributions to any of these areas, SLSP is
a more focused meeting where synergies between subdomains and people will
hopefully happen. In SLSP 2016, significant room will be reserved to young
scholars at the beginning of their career and particular focus will be put on
methodology.
 
Venue:

SLSP 2016 will take place in Pilsen, nominated one of the two European
Capitals of Culture in 2015. The venue will be the the NTIS research centre at
the Faculty of Applied Sciences of the University of West Bohemia.

Scope:
 
The conference invites submissions discussing the employment of statistical
models (including machine learning) within language and speech processing.
Topics of either theoretical or applied interest include, but are not limited
to:
 
anaphora and coreference resolution
authorship identification, plagiarism and spam filtering
computer-aided translation
corpora and language resources
data mining and semantic web
information extraction
information retrieval
knowledge representation and ontologies
lexicons and dictionaries
machine translation
multimodal technologies
natural language understanding
neural representation of speech and language
opinion mining and sentiment analysis
parsing
part-of-speech tagging
question-answering systems
semantic role labelling
speaker identification and verification
speech and language generation
speech recognition
speech synthesis
speech transcription
spelling correction
spoken dialogue systems
term extraction
text categorisation
text summarisation
user modeling
 
Structure: 
 
SLSP 2016 will consist of:
 
invited talks
peer-reviewed contributions
 
Invited Speakers:

Walter Daelemans (University of Antwerp), Advances in Statistical Approaches
to Personality Prediction from Text
Julia Hirschberg (Columbia University), tba
Mari Ostendorf (University of Washington), tba

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department 
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and 
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
