Meeting Description:
Finite-State Methods and Natural Language Processing - FSMNLP 2015
12th International Conference
Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, Germany
June 22-24, 2015
The international conference series Finite-State Methods and Natural Language Processing (FSMNLP) is the premier forum of the ACL Special Interest Group on Finite-State Methods (SIGFSM). It serves researchers and practitioners working on natural language processing (NLP) applications or language resources, theoretical and implementational aspects, or their combinations that have obvious relevance or an explicit relation to finite-state methods.
2nd Call for Papers:
http://fsmnlp2015.phil.hhu.de Introduction:
The international conference series Finite-State Methods and Natural Language Processing (FSMNLP) is the premier forum of the ACL Special Interest Group on Finite-State Methods (SIGFSM). It serves researchers and practitioners working on:
- Natural language processing (NLP) applications or language resources,
- Theoretical and implementational aspects, or their combinations
- That have obvious relevance or an explicit relation to finite-state methods.
Topics:
The conference invites papers related to themes including but not limited to:
- NLP applications and linguistic aspects of finite-state methods
- Finite-state models of natural language and linguistic theories
- Practices for building morphological models for the world’s languages using finite-state technology
- Machine learning of finite-state models of natural language
- Finite-state manipulation software and tools with relevance to NLP
- Practical implementations of linguistic descriptions with finite-state technology, including grammars, machine learning tools, language-specific challenges to finite-state NLP
- Mathematical results with relevance to finite state machines and description languages
- Applications of finite-state-based NLP in fields such as comparative linguistics, field linguistics, applied linguistics and language teaching.
We would like to introduce the FSMNLP 2015 Special Theme:
Finite-State Methods in New Domains of NLP
- The special theme does not restrict the scope of papers. We would like to encourage a variety of submissions relating to any dimension of finite-state NLP.
- We encourage papers which apply finite-state methods to domains which are beyond the traditional focus of FSMNLP, such as syntactic analysis, machine translation, phonetic realization, semantics, text processing…
- Finite-state methods have revolutionized computational morphology by establishing a unified methodology; is there potential for a similar revolution in other subfields of NLP?
Important Dates:
March 20, 2015: Paper submission deadline
April 30, 2015: Notification
May 14, 2015: Camera-ready version
Deadlines are midnight Pacific Standard Time (UTC−8).
Submissions:
Papers should present original, unpublished research and implementation results. Simultaneous submission to other venues with published proceedings is prohibited. FSMNLP accepts two kinds of submissions:
- Long papers (8 pages including references) reporting completed, significant research,
- Short papers (4 pages including references) reporting ongoing work and partial results, implementations, grammars, practical tools, interactive software demos, etc.
Short papers are expected to be presented as system demos in demo sessions, posters and/or short presentations, while long papers are presented in longer presentations.
