The Special Track of Natural Language Processing of Ancient Languages will be held in conjunction with the 28th International FLAIRS Conference (FLAIRS 2016) which will take place in *May 16-18, 2016*, in *Key Largo*, *Florida*, *USA*.
*Call for Papers:* The track of Natural Language Processing of Ancient Languages is a forum for researchers who develop technology for improved information access to ancient languages including Sumerian, Akkadian, Egyptian, Greek, and Classical Chinese, etc.. Applications in these languages are rapidly emerging, while they typically entail new challenges with respect to NLP resources and workflows. Noisy textual or multimodal input, coupled with the scarcity of available digital resources require the adaptation of existing, or the creation of novel approaches to (semi-)automatic processing tools and structured resources. It is of mutual benefit that NLP experts and Historians working in and across these areas get involved in this AI forum and present their fundamental or applied R&D results. Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, unpublished work in the form of long, short, or demo papers. For technical details, please see *http://www.flairs-29.info/* <http://www.flairs-29.info/>. Topic list: - Adaptation of NLP tools to ancient languages - Automatic creation of digital resources of ancient languages - Automatic error detection and cleaning - Complex annotation tools and interfaces - Linguistic variation, non-standard or historical use of language - Linking and retrieving information across different sources, media, and domains - Standardization efforts in research infrastructure and research data - Text mining and text analytics (named entities, events, sentiment, discourse, narration) - Grammar induction applied to ancient languages - Decipherment - Uses of NLP in teaching ancient languages All accepted papers will be published as FLAIRS proceedings by AAAI AND JOURNAL OF INNOVATION IN DIGITAL ECOSYSTEMS BY ELSEVIER. *Important Dates:Submission deadline: Nov 16, 2015Notification of acceptance: Jan 18, 2015Camera-ready paper due: Feb 22, 2016Conference date: May 16-18, 2016, Key Largo, Florida, U.S.A.Information for Authors:Submission Guidelines:* Interested authors should format their papers according to AAAI formatting guidelines.
