The 30th International Conference on Natural Language & Information
Systems (NLDB 2025)
Dates and Venue:
4-6 July 2025
Kanazawa Chamber of Commerce and Industry
9-13 Oyamamachi, Kanazawa, Ishikawa 920-0918, Japan
Introduction:
The 30th International Conference on Natural Language & Information
Systems (NLDB 2025) will be held in the City of Kanazawa, Japan from
July 4-6, 2025. More details on the conference program, registration,
and accommodation will be announced in due time.
Since 1995, the NLDB conference has brought together researchers,
industry practitioners, and potential users interested in applying
Natural Language Processing (NLP) to Database and Information Systems.
Topics cover a wide range of NLP applications in Information and
Communication Systems, including Big Data, Linked Data and Social
Networks.
In recent years, NLP has seen exciting advances like Large Language
Models, transparency and bias in AI, multimodal models combining NLP
and Computer Vision, and conversational AI. These innovations are now
powering real-world enterprise applications like recommender systems,
sentiment analysis, chatbots, and more.
Thanks to open-source communities, pre-trained language models can now
be easily fine-tuned on custom datasets. Businesses are rapidly
adopting these latest NLP technologies to solve industry problems.
The 30th NLDB conference provides a forum to share the latest research
and industrial applications of NLP across information systems. We
welcome novel, unpublished works on all NLP topics and their
applications.
Call for Papers:
NLDB 2024 invites authors to submit papers for oral presentations on
unpublished research that addresses theoretical aspects, algorithms,
applications, architectures for applied and integrated NLP, resources
for applied NLP, and other aspects of NLP, as well as survey and
discussion papers. This year’s edition of NLDB continues with the
Industry Track, to foster fruitful interaction between the industry
and the research community.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Large Language Models: training, applications, transfer learning,
interpretability of large language models.
- Multimodal Models: Integration of text with other modalities like
images, video, and audio; multimodal representation learning;
applications of multimodal models.
- AI Safety and ethics: Safe and ethical use of Generative AI and NLP;
avoiding and mitigating biases in NLP models and systems;
explainability and transparency in AI.
- Natural Language Interfaces and Interaction: design and
implementation of Natural Language Interfaces, user studies with human
participants on Conversational User Interfaces, chatbots and LLM-based
chatbots and their interaction with users.
- Social Media and Web Analytics: Opinion mining/sentiment analysis,
irony/sarcasm detection; detection of fake reviews and deceptive
language; detection of harmful information: fake news and hate speech;
sexism and misogyny; detection of mental health disorders;
identification of stereotypes and social biases; robust NLP methods
for sparse, ill-formed texts; recommendation systems.
- Deep Learning and eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI): Deep
learning architectures, word embeddings, transparency,
interpretability, fairness, debiasing, ethics.
- Argumentation Mining and Applications: Automatic detection of
argumentation components and relationships; creation of resource (e.g.
annotated corpora, treebanks and parsers); Integration of NLP
techniques with formal, abstract argumentation structures;
Argumentation Mining from legal texts and scientific articles.
- Question Answering (QA): Natural language interfaces to databases,
QA using web data, multi-lingual QA, non-factoid QA(how/why/opinion
questions, lists), geographical QA, QA corpora and training sets, QA
over linked data (QALD).
- Corpus Analysis: multi-lingual, multi-cultural and multi-modal
corpora; machine translation, text analysis, text classification and
clustering; language identification; plagiarism detection; information
extraction: named entity, extraction of events, terms and semantic
relationships.
- Semantic Web, Open Linked Data, and Ontologies: Ontology learning
and alignment, ontology population, ontology evaluation, querying
ontologies and linked data, semantic tagging and classification,
ontology-driven NLP, ontology-driven systems integration.
- Natural Language in Conceptual Modelling: Analysis of natural
language descriptions, NLP in requirement engineering, terminological
ontologies, consistency checking, metadata creation and harvesting.
- Natural Language and Ubiquitous Computing: Pervasive computing,
embedded, robotic and mobile applications; conversational agents; NLP
techniques for Internet of Things (IoT); NLP techniques for ambient
intelligence
- Big Data and Business Intelligence: Identity detection, semantic
data cleaning, summarisation, reporting, and data to text.
