Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 15-Jul-2016 

Meeting Description:

CLiC-it, Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics, is aimed at
establishing a reference forum for research on Computational Linguistics
organized by the recently founded Italian Association of Computational
Linguistics (AILC - www.ai-lc.it). Together with the co-located EVALITA 2016
evaluation campaign (http://www.evalita.org) specifically devoted to Natural
Language Processing and Speech tools for Italian, the conference is intended
to meet the need for a national and international forum for the promotion and
dissemination of high-level original research in the field of Computational
Linguistics (CL) by the Italian community. CLIC-it covers all aspects of
automatic language understanding, both written and spoken, and targets
state-of-the-art theoretical results, experimental methodologies,
technologies, as well as application perspectives, which may contribute to
advance the field.

The third edition of CLiC-it will be held in Napoli, at the University
''Federico II''.

The spirit of the Conference is inclusive. In the conviction that the
complexity of language phenomena needs cross-disciplinary competences, CLiC-it
intends to bring together researchers of related disciplines such as
Computational Linguistics, Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Machine Learning,
Computer Science, Knowledge Representation, Information Retrieval and Digital
Humanities. CLiC-it is open to contributions on all languages, with a
particular emphasis on Italian.

Final Call for Papers:

The conference invites the submission of papers on research in all aspects of
automated language processing. Relevant topics for the conference include, but
are not limited to, the thematic areas reported below (together with the Area
Chairs):

- Cognitive modeling of language processing and psycholinguistics (D.
Crepaldi, G. Lebani, V. Pirrelli)
- NLP for Digital Humanities (M. Passarotti, S. Tonelli)
- Information Retrieval and Question Answering (N. Ferro, A. Moschitti)
- Information Extraction, Entity Linking and (Linked) Open Data (V.Basile, R.
Navigli)
- Linguistic Resources (C. Bosco, M. Monachini, S. Vietri)
- Machine Translation and Multilingual Applications (M. Cettolo, J. Monti)
- Pragmatics, Creativity and Linguistic Games (M. de Gemmis, M. Gori, M.
Poesio)
- Semantics and Knowledge Acquisition (R. Bernardi, A. Gangemi, F.M. Zanzotto)
- Spoken Language Processing and Understanding (P. Cosi, A. Origlia)
- Morphology and Syntax Processing (A. Lavelli, A. Mazzei)
- NLP for Web and Social Media (D. Croce, F. Dell'Orletta)
- Linguistic Issues in CL and NLP (A. Lenci, P. Merlo)
- Machine Learning for CL and NLP (G. Attardi, R. Basili)

Submission Information for Regular Papers:

CLiC-it 2016 has the goal of a broad technical program. We invite papers in
the following four broad categories: theoretical computational linguistics,
empirical/data-driven approaches, resources/evaluation, applications/tools. We
also invite papers describing a challenge in the field, position papers,
survey papers, and papers that describe a negative result.

Papers may consist of up to four (4) pages of content, and two (2) additional
pages of references. Paper can be either in English or Italian, with the
abstract both in English and Italian. Accepted papers will be published
on-line and will be presented at the conference either orally or as a poster.
The deadline for paper submissions is July 15, 2016.

Paper submissions should follow the two-column format. We strongly recommend
the use of LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word style files according to the
ACL format, which will be soon available on the conference website under
''Submissions''. Submission must be electronic in PDF, using the Easychair
submission software.

Reviewing will NOT be double blind, so there is no need to remove author
information from manuscripts.

Young Author Best Paper Awards:

In order to award the work of young researchers, the title of “best paper”
will be attributed to the best papers in different research areas with a PhD
student and/or postDoc among the authors. The awarded authors will be invited
to submit an extended version of their papers to the Italian Journal of
Computational Linguistics (IJCoL).

This year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $79,000. This money 
will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our 
Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

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 Indiana University 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!
