XXXV INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE SPANISH SOCIETY FOR NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING
XXXV Congreso Internacional de la Sociedad Española para el Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural SEPLN 2019 September 25-27, 2019 Bizkaia Aretoa, BILBAO, Spain http://hitz.eus/sepln2019/ ****************** DEADLINE EXTENSION: March 31st ***************************** Introduction It is a pleasure to invite you to SEPLN2019. The conference is organised by the Aholab and Ixa Research Groups from the University of the Basque Country, and will take place at the Bizkaia Aretoa from Bilbao on September 25-27, 2019. The huge amount of information available in digital format in different languages calls for systems enabling the access to this vast library in an increasingly more structured way. Furthermore, there is a renewed interest in improving information accessibility and information exploitation in multilingual environments. Most of the formal foundations for dealing appropriately with these necessities have been, and are still being, established in the area of Natural Language Processing and its many branches: Information Extraction and Retrieval, Question Answering Systems, Machine Translation, Automatic Analysis of Textual Content, Text Summarization, Text Generation, and Speech Recognition and Synthesis. The aim of the conference is to provide a forum for discussion and communication where the latest research work and developments in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) can be presented by scientific and business communities. The conference also aims to present new possibilities of real applications and R&D projects in this field. Moreover, like in previous years, this conference intends to identify future guidelines or paths for basic research and expected software applications, in order to compare them against the market needs. Finally, the conference provides a useful forum for the exchange of views and ideas, being especially beneficial to new professionals who intend to become active members in the field. Topics of interest Researchers and companies are encouraged to send communications, project abstracts or demonstrations on topics related to language technology, including but not limited to: Linguistic, mathematical and psycholinguistic models of language Machine learning in NLP Computational lexicography and terminology Corpus linguistics Development of linguistic resources and tools Grammars and formalisms for morphological and syntactic analysis Semantics, pragmatics and discourse Lexical ambiguity resolution Monolingual and multilingual text generation Machine translation Speech synthesis and recognition Dialogue systems Audio indexing Monolingual and multilingual information extraction and retrieval Question answering systems Evaluation of NLP systems Automatic textual content analysis Sentiment analysis and opinion mining Plagiarism detection Negation and speculation processing Text mining in blogosphere and social networks Text summarization Image retrieval NLP in biomedical domain NLP-based generation of teaching resources NLP for languages with limited resources NLP industrial applications Contact All information related to the conference can be found at http://hitz.eus/sepln2019/ Structure of the Conference The conference will be a three-day event and will include sessions to present papers, posters, tutorials, ongoing research projects and prototype or product demonstrations connected with topics addressed in the conference. Besides, different workshops will be held on 24th September. Guide for authors All contributions must be submitted electronically using the Myreview system available at http://www.sepln.org/myreview-sepln63/ Authors are encouraged to send theoretical or application-oriented proposals related to NLP.
