The 2nd International Workshop on Language Technologies and Applications(LTA'2017) is to be held at Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems, Prague, Czech Republic, 4-7 September, 2017.

Scope

Development of new technologies and various intelligent systems creates new possibilities for intelligent data processing. Natural Language Processing (NLP) addresses problems of automated understanding, processing and generation of natural human languages. LTA workshop provides a venue for presenting innovative research in NLP related, but not restricted, to: computational and mathematical modeling, analysis and processing of any forms (spoken, handwritten or text) of human language and various applications in decision support systems. The LTA workshop will provide an opportunity for researchers and professionals working in the domain of NLP to discuss present and future challenges as well as potential collaboration for future progress in the field of NLP.

Topics

The submitted papers shall cover research and developments in all NLP aspects, such as (however this list is not exhaustive):

- computational intelligence methods applied to language & text processing
- text analysis
- language networks
- text classification
- document clustering
- various forms of text recognition
- machine translation
- intelligent text-to-speech (TTS) and speech-to-text (STT) methods
- authorship identification and verification
- author profiling
- plagiarism detection
- knowledge extraction and retrieval from text and natural language structures
- multi-modal and natural language interfaces
- sentiment analysis
- language-oriented applications and tools
- NLP applications in education
- language networks, resources and corpora

Paper submission

Authors should submit draft papers (as Postscript, PDF or MSWord file).
The total length of a paper should not exceed 10 pages IEEE style (including tables, figures and references). IEEE style templates are available here.
Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the workshop.
