*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contributions, de- scribing novel, previously unpublished works on NLP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

(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) and

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 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,

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).

translation, Text analysis, Classifi- cation systems, Extraction, Named
entity and event extraction.
? Semantic Web, Open Linked Data, and Ontologies: Ontology learning and

tologies and linked Data, Semantic tagging and clas- sification,
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 har- vesting.
? Natural language and Ubiquitous Computing: Pervasive computing,
embedded, robotic and mobile applications, NLP techniques for Internet
of Things (IoT), NLP techniques for ambient intelli- gence.
? Big Data and Business intelligence: Identity detection, Semantic data
cleaning, Summarisation, Reporting, and Data to text.

CALL FOR PAPERS
LREC 2020 Workshop: ResT-UP - 1st Workshop on Resources and Techniques
for User and author Profiling in abusive language
ResT-UP will be held conjunction with LREC2020
(https://lrec2020.lrec-conf.org/en/) on May 12, 2020, and aims at
bringing together researchers and scholars working on author profiling
and automatic detection of abusive language on the Web, e.g.,
cyberbullying or hate speech, with a twofold objective: improving the
existing LRs, e.g., datasets, corpora, lexicons, and sharing ideas on
stylometry techniques and features needed for profile information
extraction and classification.
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
