Call For Papers - CFP

September 7, 2011, Huelva, Spain

in conjunction with the 27th Conference of the Spanish Society for

Natural Language Processing - SEPLN 2011

In the Iberian Peninsula, five official languages co-exist: Basque,

Catalan, Galician, Portuguese and Spanish. Fostering multi-linguality

and establishing strong links among the linguistic resources developed

for each language of the region is essential.

Additionally, a lack of published resources in some of these languages

exists. Such lack propitiates a strong inter-relation between them and

higher resourced languages, such as English and Spanish.

In order to favour the intra-relation among the peninsular languages

as well as the inter-relation between them and foreign languages,

different purpose multilingual NLP tools need to be developed.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Cross-language / multilingual:

- text categorisation

- information retrieval

- question answering

- patent retrieval

- word sense disambiguation

- opinion mining

- lexical substitution

- text summarization

- text re-use analysis

- plagiarism detection

- paraphrasing for MT

- text similarity estimation

- similarity of Wikipedia across languages

These tasks are often based on statistical, linguistic and

hybrid approaches. Machine translation, cognates exploitation

or semantic relatedness are examples of the multiple resources

available for the development of such tools.

The workshop addresses researchers from different fields of natural

language processing/computational linguistics: text mining, machine

learning, pattern recognition, information retrieval and machine

translation.
