Call For Papers
The 2nd edition of the Language Processing and Knowledge Management conference
is organized by the University of Sfax, Tunisia. It will take place this year in FSEG
Sfax, Tunisia from October 17th to 18th, 2018.
Development of new technologies and various intelligent systems creates new
possibilities for intelligent and efficient data processing. Natural Language
Processing (NLP) addresses problems of automated understanding, processing, and
generation of natural human languages
This conference provides a venue for presenting innovative research in NLP related,
but not restricted, to computational and mathematical modelling, analysis and
processing of any forms (spoken, handwritten or text) of human language and
knowledge creation and management. The LPKM workshop will provide an
opportunity for researchers working in the domains of NLP, Machine Learning and
Data Science to discuss present and future challenges as well as potential
collaboration for future progress in the field of NLP.
The submitted papers shall cover research and developments in all NLP, Machine
Learning and Data Sciences aspects, such as (however this list is not exhaustive):
1. Natural Language Processing
 Computational methods applied to language text processing
 Text analysis
 Language networks
 Text classification
 Document clustering
