Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 11-Jun-2017 

Meeting Description:

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 2017, significant room will be reserved to young
scholars at the beginning of their career and particular focus will be put on
methodology.

Call for Papers:

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 labeling
- 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 2017 will consist of invited talks, peer-reviewed contributions, and
posters

Submissions:

Authors are invited to submit non-anonymized papers in English presenting
original and unpublished research. Papers should not exceed 12 single-spaced
pages (including eventual appendices, references, proofs, graphics, etc.) and
should be prepared according to the standard format for Springer Verlag's LNCS
series (see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0).

Submissions have to be uploaded to:

contributed to the conference. Submissions to it will be by invitation.
