INFORMATION EXTRACTION AND NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING TRACK

The Web is a vast and invaluable repository of information generated by users. The bulk of this information is in textual form, either as completely unstructured or as semi-structured text. Thus, Natural Language Processing and Information Extraction techniques are needed to extract, process, transform and interpret the knowledge web documents contain.

* Structured data extraction from unstructured and semi-structured Web text
* Open information extraction
* Entity and relation extraction

* Web document representation and language modeling
* Sentiment and opinion analysis
* Analysis of user-generated content
* Summarization and generation of Web text
* Syntactic parsing of Web content

* Language resources for and from the Web
