MLP 2017 Call for Abstracts
The First Workshop on Multi-Language Processing in a Globalising World
(MLP2017), organized by ADAPT Centre, Dublin City University (DCU),
Ireland, will be held at DCU on September 4–5, 2017.
Globalisation has, on the one hand, brought us significant growth in
free international trade and cross-cultural communication, as well as
access to newly-developed technology, media, education, healthcare,
consumer goods, etc. On the other hand, it may have negative impacts on
local societies, such as cultural homogenisation. To embrace cultural
diversity and multilingual phenomena, experts with research interests in
different languages are invited to participate in this workshop. This
international workshop will be organised as a forum and we invite
natural language processing researchers and linguists to come together
to discuss the current status and future directions of research in
multilingualism and minority languages in this globalising world.
The workshop aims to provide a research forum dedicated to
state-of-the-art methods and techniques on multi-language and
cross-language processing and exploring the use of such technologies in
specific tasks. The workshop will solicit original and ongoing research
contributions related to the theme, which includes but are not limited to:
*
Theoretical and applied linguistic research for multilinguality and
minority languages
*
Text encoding theory and transcoding techniques
*
Resource construction, such as multilingual corpora and corpora for
minority languages
*
Speech, lexical, syntactic, semantic analytics for multiple
languages or minority languages
*
Cross-language adaptation for natural language processing
*
Multi-language, cross-language and minority language processing
methods and applications in machine translation, speech recognition,
information retrieval etc.
*
Evaluation metrics for multi-language, cross-language and minority
language processing
*
Multi-language, cross-language and minority language processing for
social media and user generated content
*
Deep learning and expressions for multi-language processing
*
Minority languages in emergency responses and security/disaster
management
*
Multi-language or cross-language named entity recognition, entity
relation extraction and event extraction
*
Multi-language or cross-language linked data or knowledge graph
*
Multi-language or cross-language anaphora resolution and discourse
analysis
*
Multi-language or cross-language sentiment analysis
*
Multi-language or cross-language text classification and generation
*
Transliteration and machine translation
The language of the Workshop is English. Abstract submissions may
