[1] *Track Description*

The Track of Natural Language, Text Mining and Applications (NLP-TeMA 2025)
is a forum for researchers working in Human Language Technologies, i.e.
Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computational Linguistics (CL), Natural
Language Engineering (NLE), Text Mining (TM), Information Retrieval (IR),
and related areas.

The most natural form of sharing knowledge is indeed through textual
documents. Especially on the Web, a huge amount of textual information is
openly published every day, on many different topics and written in natural
language, thus offering new insights and many opportunities for innovative
applications of Human Language Technologies.

Following advances in general AI sub-fields such as NLP, Machine Learning
(ML) and Deep Learning (DL), text mining is now even more valuable as tool
for bridging the gap between language theories and effective use of natural
language contents, for harnessing the power of semi-structured and
unstructured data, and to enable important applications in real-world
heterogeneous environments. Both hidden and new knowledge can be discovered
by using NLP and Text Mining methods, at multiple levels and in multiple
dimensions, and often with high commercial value.

Authors are invited to submit their papers on any of the issues identified
in section [2]. Revision of the papers will be double-blind at least by
three members of the Program Committee. All accepted papers will be
published by Springer in a volume of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Artificial
Intelligence (LNAI) corresponding to the proceedings of the 24th EPIA
Conference on Artificial Intelligence, provided that at least one author is
registered in EPIA 2025 by the early registration deadline.

[4] *Paper submission*

Submissions must be full technical papers on substantial, original, and
previously unpublished research. Papers should be prepared according to the
Springer LNAI format, using either a LaTeX or Word template, with a maximum
od 12 pages, including references. EPIA 2025 will not accept any paper
that, at the time of submission, is under review for, has already been
published in or has already been accepted for publication in a journal or
another venue with formally published proceedings. Authors of EPIA 2025
submissions are not permitted to submit their paper to a journal or another
venue during the EPIA 2025 review period.

It is the responsibility of the authors to remove names and affiliations
from the submitted papers, and to take reasonable care to assure anonymity
during the review process. Authors should also follow the standards as set
out in the Springer Nature code of conduct.
