WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
There has been a lot of progress in the last 15 years in the area of
Arabic Natural Language Processing (NLP). Many Arabic NLP (or Arabic
NLP-related) workshops and conferences have taken place, both in the
Arab World and in association with international conferences. This
workshop follows in the footsteps of previous efforts to provide a forum
for researchers to share and discuss their ongoing work.
We invited submissions on topics that include, but are not limited to,
the following:
* Basic core technologies: morphological analysis, disambiguation,
tokenization, POS tagging, named entity detection, chunking, parsing,
semantic role labeling, sentiment analysis, Arabic dialect modeling,
etc.
* Applications: machine translation, speech recognition, speech
synthesis, optical character recognition, pedagogy, assistive
technologies, social media, etc.
* Resources: dictionaries, annotated data, specialized databases etc.
Associated with the workshop was a shared task on Arabic text error
correction.
