Revue de l'Information Scientifique et Technique
Information Processing at the Digital Age
Special Issue on Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, and Data Science

Call for papers

The extraordinary development of the internet and the explosion of textual data on the web have boosted the development of the Natural Language Processing field and have especially led to the revival of corpus based NLP and linguistics. On the other hand, the new challenges encountered in ICT, the development of computing power and the availability of massive data have contributed to the advent of the new era of Artificial Intelligence in which deep learning algorithms provide us, on a daily basis, with impressive results whatever the task is.
This volume welcomes contributions that describe research work and realizations related to the way the development of AI and data science technologies impacts the development of NLP, and the place of NLP in modern AI, in general, and Data Science more specifically.
While a special emphasis will be put in this special issue on NLP and how its boundaries and challenges are being redefined, we accept contributions from other related fields such as image processing, computer vision, etc. Hence we invite papers related, but not limited, to the following topics:

- Deep learning for NLP
- Big data for NLP Applications
- Machine translation
- Word sense disambiguation
- Computational lexicography
- Social network analysis
- Sentiment and emotion detection/analysis
- Image captioning
- Dialects and similar language processing
- Educational applications
- Automatic resource building
- Text Summarisation
- Question-Answering Systems
- Tools and corpora for under-resourced languages.

Deadline for paper submission extended to: 31/08/2018.
Papers must be written in English or French and submitted via: https://www.asjp.cerist.dz/en/submission/134
