Call for Papers

 

18th International Conference on Application of Natural Language to
Information Systems

19-21 JUNE 2013, UNIVERSITY OF SALFORD AT MEDIA CITY UK (www.nldb.org)

 

Since 1995, the NLDB conference aims at bringing together researchers,
industrials and potential users interested in various application of Natural
Language in the Database and Information Systems field. The integration of
databases and natural language has been an utopia for many years. However,
progress has been made and this is now an established field thanks to
developments in Natural Language and technologies that made the storage and
manipulation of large electronic dictionaries possible. As Information
Systems are now evolving into the communication area, the term databases
should be considered in the broader sense of information and communication
systems. The use of Natural Language in Software Engineering has contributed
to both improving the development process from the viewpoints of developers
(improve the process of conceptual modeling, validation, etc.) and the
usability of applications by users (natural language query interfaces,
semantic web, etc.).NLDB 2013 invites researchers from academia and industry
to submit papers for oral or poster presentations on recent, unpublished
research that ad-dresses theoretical aspects, algorithms, applications,
architectures for applied and integrated NLP, resources for applied NLP, and
other aspects of NLP, as well as review and discussion papers.

 

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

 

Applications of NLP in Information Systems: Multilingual Information
Systems, NLP in Requirement Engineering, NLP in Knowledge Management,
Semantic Data Integration and Data Cleaning

 

Social Media and Web Data: Corpus analysis, Language identification, Text
normalization, Robust NLP for social media, Text classification, Information
Extraction and Sentiment Analysis for social media

 

Semantic Web Open Linked Data: Ontology Learning and Alignment, Populating
ontologies, Querying Ontologies and linked data, Semantic tagging and
classification, Ontology-driven NLP

 

Question Answering (QA): NL 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

 

Natural language and Ubiquitous Computing: Pervasive Computing, Embedded,
Robotic and Mobile Applications.

 

Natural Language in Conceptual Modeling: Analysis of Natural Language
Descriptions, Terminological Ontologies, Consistency Checking, Metadata
Creation and Harvesting, Ontology-driven Systems Integration, Ontology
Management

 

NLP Applications: Business Intelligence, Subjectivity and Sentiment
Analysis, QA systems, Event Detection, Named Entity and Event Detection,
Information Extraction, Summarization, NLP for Data Mining, NLP for Data
Ware-houses, Plagiarism detection, Identity detection.

 

Big Data and NLP: Use of NLP in Big Data Analytics; NLP with Big Data tools
such as Hadoop, MapReduce, Cloudera etc.; Novel NLP techniques driven by Big
Data; Use of Semantic technologies in Big Data Analytics; NLP and NoSQL data
store management; Use of Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK), Dumbo etc. for NLP
tasks within Big Data Analytics, Open Data.
