Meeting Description:

The Special Session on Language Technologies will be held at the 23rd
International Conference on Information and Software Technologies (ICIST)
scheduled on the 12-14 October, 2017 in Druskininkai, Lithuania.


Call for Papers:

Scope: 
Since human language is the most natural way of communication, linguistically
competent software would greatly facilitate humans’ interaction with computers
and help in our needs. The field of Language Technologies (LT) gained a lot of
interest and made enormous progress during the last decades. LT is an
interdisciplinary field dealing with the statistical or rule-based modeling
and involving practitioners of artificial intelligence, computer science,
engineering, information retrieval, linguistics, phonetics, or psychology. The
special session on LT provides a focus for this work, and encourages
interdisciplinary approach to speech and language research and technology
bringing together experts from both academia and industry. The paper
submissions reporting original results and system development experience as
well as real-world applications are kindly welcomed to this session. 

Topics:
Authors are invited to submit full papers describing original research work
associated with Language Technologies including, but not limited to: 

- Natural Language Processing (tagging systems, stemming, parsing and
syntactical analysis, corpus-based language engineering) 
- Natural Language Understanding (text analysis, ontology, formal semantics) 
-Language-based Knowledge Engineering (text and data mining, knowledge
acquisition, knowledge representation and reasoning) 
-Cognitive models and AI techniques (graph based models, semantic nets, neural
networks, and cognitive maps) 
-Language Generation (dialogue-based systems, creative and writing systems,
language synthesis, translation) 
-Multi-modalities Computational Linguistics (speech recognition, speech-text
conversions, speech analysis and textual tagging) 
- Applications and Systems (search and information retrieval, web
applications, forensics, cognitive systems, question-answer systems,
translation systems, documents classifiers) 

Submission of Papers:
Authors are invited to submit their papers in English through the conference
submission system. Submissions must be original and should not have been
published previously. All papers will be peer-reviewed the ICIST-2016 Program
Committee and judged with respect to their quality, originality, and
relevance. For further details, please consult the conference web pages. 

Publication:
All accepted papers will appear in the ICIST Conference Proceedings Volume
(published by Springer as a part of CCIS series) and submitted for indexing to
Thomson Reuters ISI.
