(AFNLP) Associations with the major goal to provide a platform for researchers
and professionals from around the world to share their experiences related to
natural language processing and computational linguistics.
IJCNLP 2017, organized by The Association for Computational Linguistics and
Chinese Language Processing (ACLCLP) and hosted by The Asian Federation of
Natural Language Processing (AFNLP) Associations, will be held in Taipei,
