From cimiano at cit-ec.uni-bielefeld.de Wed Feb 5 06:26:53 2020 From: cimiano at cit-ec.uni-bielefeld.de (Philipp Cimiano) Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2020 07:26:53 +0100 Subject: [open-linguistics] NLDB 2020 Deadline Extended to 15th of February! Message-ID: <9b8318b1-e139-a7f9-2a21-330d647606a3@cit-ec.uni-bielefeld.de> Sorry for multiple copies *Call for Papers - NLDB2020* 25th International Conference on Natural Language & Information Systems June 24 - 26; DFKI Saarbr?cken, Germany *Important Dates* ? *Submission deadlin*e: 15.02.2020 (Extended) ? *Notification of acceptance*: 15.03.2020 ? *Camera-ready due*: 10.04.2020 ? *NLDB Conference*: 24 - 26.06.2020 *NLDB 2020* Since 1995, the NLDB conference brings together re- searchers, industry practitioners, and potential users in- terested in various application of Natural Language in the Database and Information Systems fields.The term ?Information Systems? has to be considered in the broader sense of Information and Communication Systems, including Big Data, Linked Data and Social Net- works. The field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has it- self 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 linguis- tic 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 recom- mender systems and opinion mining/sentiment analysis as well as question-answering systems. It is against this backdrop of recent innovations in NLP and its applications in information systems that the 25th edition of the NLDB conference ? NLDB2020, takes place. We welcome research and industrial contributions, de- scribing novel, previously unpublished works on NLP and its applications across a plethora of topics. *Webpage*: http://nldb.org *Contact*: helmut.horacek at dfki.de *Submission Guidelines* Authors should follow the LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and submit their manuscripts in pdf via Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/login_author.cgi?cid=245917). Submissions can be full papers (12 pages maximum in- cluding references), short papers (8 pages) or papers for a poster presentation (6 pages). The programme committee may decide to accept some full papers as short papers or poster papers. *Topics* 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. anno- tated corpora, treebanks and parsers, Integration of NLP techniques with formal, Abstract argumenta- tion structures, Argumentation Mining from legal texts and scientific articles. ? 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 program- ming 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 relation- ship extraction, Text classification and clustering, Corpus analysis, Language detection, Robust NLP methods for sparse, ill-formed texts, Recommenda- tion 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, Classifi- cation systems, Extraction, Named entity and event extraction. ? Semantic Web, Open Linked Data, and Ontologies: Ontology learning and alignment, Ontology population, Ontology evaluation, Querying on- tologies and linked Data, Semantic tagging and clas- sification, Ontology-driven NLP, Ontology-driven systems integration. ?

ResT-UP targets Profiling scholars and research groups, experts in statistics and stylistic analysis of texts as well as computational linguists who investigate author profile and personality both in short texts (social media posts, blog texts and email) and in long texts (such as pamphlets, (fake) news and political documents). ReST-UP represents an opportunity to share profiling experiments with the scientific community and to show automatic detection techniques of abusive language on the Web. We would be happy to receive also proposals that present projects and artificial intelligence platforms that fight online frauds, cyberbullying, cyberstalking and terrorism as well as proposals that investigate the personality of online abusive language protagonists and suspected presence of psychiatric disorders. Papers that present corpora and ad hoc set linguistic resources for profiling are welcomed, especially if aimed at profiling in detection of hate-speech, cyberbullying, cyberstalking, terrorism, online fraud, plagiarism, fake news, both on ongoing and on completed researches (with positive or negative results). We solicit also the submission of papers discussing ethical implications, risks and legal constraints (e.g. European GDPR) of user profiling. Topics of interest Linguistic Resources for - Abusive Language Analysis and Forensic Linguistics - Cognitive Profiling - Computational Stylometry for User and Author Profiling - Hate speech and abusive language detection - Profiling of trolls, bots, and users producing hate speech - Stylistic Features Extraction - Textual Statistics Computational Linguistic Analysis of Social Media Ethical and legal issues in Author Profiling Machine Learning Profiling Techniques Projects and Artificial Intelligence Profiling platforms All papers must represent original and unpublished work that is not currently under review. Papers will be evaluated according to their significance, originality, technical content, style, clarity, and relevance to the workshop. We welcome the following types of contributions: standard research papers (up to 8 pages, plus more pages for references if needed) short research papers (from 4 to 6 pages, plus more pages for references if needed) Submissions must be anonymous and strictly follow the LREC2020 stylesheet formatting guidelines . All papers should be electronically submitted in PDF format via the main conference platform via START (track ResT-UP). Submission page on START Share your LRs! Describing your LRs in the LRE Map is now a normal practice in the submission procedure of LREC (introduced in 2010 and adopted by other conferences). To continue the efforts initiated at LREC 2014 about ?Sharing LRs? (data, tools, web-services, etc.), authors will have the possibility, when submitting a paper, to upload LRs in a special LREC repository. This effort of sharing LRs, linked to the LRE Map for their description, may become a new ?regular? feature for conferences in our field, thus contributing to creating a common repository where everyone can deposit and share data. ISLRN number As scientific work requires accurate citations of referenced work so as to allow the community to understand the whole context and also replicate the experiments conducted by other researchers, LREC 2020 endorses the need to uniquely Identify LRs through the use of the International Standard Language Resource Number (ISLRN, www.islrn.org), a Persistent Unique Identifier to be assigned to each Language Resource. The assignment of ISLRNs to LRs cited in LREC papers will be offered at submission time. Proceedings Proceedings for workshop papers will be submitted for inclusion in the conference proceedings and published by the European Language Resources Association (ELRA). Important dates Submission deadline: February 15, 2020 Notification of acceptance: March 8, 2020 Camera-ready papers due: April 2, 2020 Workshop Date: May 12, 2020 If you have any questions regarding the workshop please refer to: restup.lrec at gmail.com ResT-UP website Organizing Committee Johanna Monti - L?Orientale University of Naples - UNIOR NLP Research Group Valerio Basile - University of Turin Maria Pia Di Buono - L?Orientale University of Naples - UNIOR NLP Research Group Raffaele Manna - L?Orientale University of Naples - UNIOR NLP Research Group Antonio Pascucci - L?Orientale University of Naples - UNIOR NLP Research Group Sara Tonelli - Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Digital Humanities research group Program Committee Cristina Bosco, University of Turin Tommaso Caselli, University of Groningen Walter Daelemans, University of Antwerp Rossana Damiano, University of Turin Maciej Eder, Pedagogical University of Krak?w Francesca Frontini, Universit?
