    *** 2nd Call For Paper: Deadline Extension ***


      23rd International Conference on Natural Language & Information
    Systems (NLDB'2018)


    http://nldb2018.cnam.fr/


    June 13-15, 2018, Paris, France



    Since 1995, the NLDB conference aims at bringing together
    researcher, industrials and potential users interested in various
    application of Natural Language in the Database and Information
    Systems field. The term “Information Systems” has to be considered
    in the broader sense of information and communication systems,
    including Big Data, Linked Data and Social Networks. The field of
    Natural Language Processing (NLP) has itself recently experienced
    several exciting developments. In research, these developments have
    been reflected in the emergence of neural language models (Deep
    Learning, Word2Vec) and a (renewed) interest in various linguistic
    phenomena, such as in discourse and argumentation theory
    (argumentation mining). Regarding applications, NLP systems have
    evolved to the point that they now offer real-life, tangible
    benefits to enterprises. Many of these NLP systems are now
    considered a de facto offering in business intelligence suites, such
    as algorithms for recommender systems and opinion mining/sentiment
    analysis as well as question-answering systems.


    Further, topics of interest include but are not limited to:

    * Argumentation Mining and Applications: Automatic detection of
    argumentation components and relationships, Creation of resources,
    e.g. annotated corpora, treebanks and parsers, Integration of NLP
    techniques with formal, Abstract argumentation structures,
    Argumentation Mining from legal texts and scientific articles,
    Applications, e.g. in opinion mining/sentiment analysis;

    * Deep Learning, Neural Languages and NLP: Word2Vec applications,
    e.g. opinion mining, text summarization, machine translation,
    Development of novel deep learning architectures and algorithms,
    Parallel computation techniques and GPU programming for neural
    language models;

    * Social Media and Web Analytics: Plagiarism detection, Opinion
    mining/sentiment analysis, detection of fake reviews, Information
    extraction: NER, event detection, term and semantic relationship
    extraction, Text summarization, Text classification and clustering,
    Corpus analysis, Language detection, Robust NLP methods for sparse,
    ill-formed texts, Recommendation systems;

    * 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 and Multi-cultural corpus, Machine
    translation, Text analysis, Classification systems, Extraction,
    Named Entity and Event Extraction;


    * 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 Modeling: 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, NLP techniques for
    Internet of Things (IoT), NLP techniques for ambient intelligence;


    * Big Data and Business intelligence: Identity Detection, Semantic
    Data cleaning, Summarisation, Reporting.


    *** SUBMISSION INFORMATION ***


    NLDB 2018 invites authors to submit papers for oral or poster
