Meeting Description:

The International Conference on Computational Processing of Portuguese
(PROPOR) is the main event in the area of human language processing that is
focused on theoretical and technological issues of written and spoken
Portuguese. 

The meeting has been a very rich forum for the interchange of results and
partnerships for the researchers dedicated to the computational processing of
Portuguese and the technologies for the Portuguese language. It brings
together research groups in the area, promoting the development of
methodologies, language resources, processing tools, applications and projects
that may be shared among researchers and practitioners in the field. 

PROPOR is a biennial event hosted in Brazil and in Portugal. Past meetings
were held in Lisbon, PT (1993);  Curitiba, BR (1996);  Porto Alegre, BR
(1998);  Évora, PT (1999);  Atibaia, BR (2000); Faro, PT (2003); Itatiaia, BR
(2006) ; Aveiro, PT (2008); Porto Alegre, BR (2010);  Coimbra, PT (2012), São
Carlos, BR (2014) and Tomar, PT (2016)

Call for Papers:

We call for papers describing work on any topic related to computational
language and speech processing of Portuguese by researchers in the industry or
academia. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Human speech production, perception and communication
- Linguistic description and theories
- Natural language processing tasks (e.g. parsing, word sense disambiguation,
coreference resolution),
- Natural language processing applications (e.g. question answering,
subtitling, summarization, sentiment analysis)
- Speech technologies (e.g. spoken language generation, speech and speaker
recognition, spoken language understanding)
- Speech applications (e.g. spoken language interfaces, dialogue systems,
speech-to-speech translation)
- Resources, standardization and evaluation (e.g. corpora, ontologies,
lexicons, grammars)
- Language and speech processing in academic disciplines
- Portuguese language variants and dialect processing
- Multilingual studies, methods, applications and resources including
Portuguese

Submissions should be written in English. At submission time, only PDF format
is accepted. For the final versions, authors of accepted papers will be given
1 extra content page to take the reviews into account. Authors of accepted
papers will be requested to send the source files for the production of the
proceedings. All submitted papers must conform to Springer LNAI stylesheet
using the LaTeX or MS Word templates below:

LaTeX styelesheet:
ftp://ftp.springernature.com/cs-proceeding/llncs/llncs2e.zip
MS Word stylesheet:
ftp://ftp.springernature.com/cs-proceeding/llncs/word/splnproc1703.zip

The URL for paper submission, will be published on the conference website.

Multiple-submission policy

For submissions that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or
publications, this information must be provided at submission time. If a
submission is accepted, authors must notify the program chairs indicating
which meeting they choose for presentation of their work. Papers that will be
(or have been) published elsewhere, cannot be accepted for publication or
presentation.

Important dates:

- Full and short paper submission deadline: April 15, 2018 - 23:59 (GMT-11)
- Notification of paper acceptance or rejection: June 15, 2018
- Camera-ready papers due: July 1, 2018
- Conference: September 24-26, 2018

Publication:

The proceedings of PROPOR 2018 will be published by Springer as a volume of
the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence Series. They will be available
online. To ensure publication, at least one author of each accepted paper must
complete a full registration for PROPOR 2018 by the early registration
deadline.
