Special Session: Deep Learning Frontiers in Natural Language Processing (DL Frontiers in NLP)
Conference: IEEE ISSATK 2026
Location: Hammamet, Tunisia
Dates: April 25–27, 2026
Website: https://issatk2026.sciencesconf.org/data/pages/Special_Session_DL_NLP.pdf

Scope

The Deep Learning Frontiers in Natural Language Processing special session focuses on recent advances and emerging trends in deep learning methods for Natural Language Processing (NLP). The session aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to present innovative approaches, discuss open challenges, and explore future directions in deep learning–based NLP, including theoretical advances and practical applications.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Machine translation (statistical, neural, multilingual)
- Sentiment, emotion, and stance analysis
- Question answering and reading comprehension
- Text classification and categorization
- Named entity recognition and information extraction
- Text summarization (extractive and abstractive)
- Dialogue systems, chatbots, and conversational agents
- Multilingual and cross-lingual NLP
- Low-resource and resource-constrained NLP
- Semantic role labeling and word sense disambiguation
- Natural language inference and textual entailment
- Knowledge base population and relation extraction
- Event extraction and temporal reasoning
- Code-switching and style transfer
- Data augmentation for NLP tasks
- Fake news detection and misinformation analysis
- Toxicity detection and content moderation
- Plagiarism detection and authorship identification
- Domain-specific NLP (medical, legal, financial, etc.)


Paper Submission
