Applied
Natural Language Processing
Marco Island, FL
Paper submission deadline:
Monday, November 21, 2011. Call for Papers What is ANLP The track on Applied Natural Language
Processing is a forum for researchers working in natural language
processing(NLP)/computational linguistics(CL) and related areas. The rapid
pace of development of online materials, most of them in textual form or text
combined with other media (visual, audio), has led to a revived interest for
tools capable to understand, organize and mine those materials. Novel
human-computer interfaces, for instance talking heads, can benefit from
language understanding and generation techniques with big impact on user
satisfaction. Moreover, language can facilitate human-computer interaction
for the handicapped (no typing needed) and elderly leading to an ever
increasing user base for computer systems. Goal of ANLP The goal of the ANLP track is to
inform researchers as to current project and studies that identify,
investigate, and (begin to) resolve issues that relate to human/computer
language interaction. Who might be interested Papers and contributions on
traditional basic and applied language processing issues are welcome as well
as novel challenges to the NLP/CL community: bioNLP, spam filtering,
security, multilingual processing, learning environments, multimodal
communication, etc. We also encourage papers in information retrieval, speech
processing and machine learning that present novel approaches that can
benefit from or have an impact on NLP/CL. Topics We invite highly
original papers that describe work in, but not limited to, the following
areas: 1.
NL-based representations and knowledge systems 2.
Syntax and Semantics (similarity metrics, lexical semantics) 3.
Co-reference Resolution 4.
Word Sense Disambiguation 5.
Text Cohesion and Coherence 6.
Dialogue Management and NL-based Human-Computer Interaction 7.
Language Generation (answer and question generation) 8.
Language Models 9.
NL in Learning Environments 10. Machine
Learning applied to NL problems 11. Multilingual
Processing 12. BioNLP 13. Standardization,
Language Resources, Corpora Building and Annotation Languages 14. Semantic Web,
Ontologies, Reasoning 15. Applications:
Machine Translation, Information Retrieval, Summarization, Intelligent
Tutoring, Question Answering, Information Extraction and others 16. Other related
topics Note: We invite original papers
(i.e. work not previously submitted, in submission, or to be submitted to another
conference during the reviewing process). Submission Guidelines
Interested authors
should format their papers according to AAAI formatting guidelines. The papers
should be original work (i.e., not submitted, in submission, or submitted to
another conference while in review). Papers should not exceed 6 pages (2
pages for a poster) and are due by November 21st, 2011. For
FLAIRS-25, the 2012 conference, the reviewing is a double blind process. Fake
author names and affiliations must be used on submitted papers to provide
double-blind reviewing. Papers must be submitted as PDF through the EasyChair
conference system, which can be accessed through the main conference web site
(http://www.flairs-25.info/). Note:
do not use a fake name for your EasyChair login - your EasyChair account
information is hidden from reviewers. Authors should indicate the ANLP
special track for submissions. The
proceedings of FLAIRS will be published
by the AAAI. Authors of accepted papers will be required to sign a form
transferring copyright of their contribution to AAAI. FLAIRS requires that there be at least one full author registration per
paper. Please, check the
website http://www.flairs-25.info/ for further information. Conference Proceedings Papers will be
refereed and all accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings,
which will be published by AAAI Press. Organizing Committee Mihai Lintean,
