Conference Announcement and First Call for Papers
http://sag.art.uniroma2.it/clic2017
The Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics, CLiC-it, aims
at establishing a reference forum for the Italian community of
researchers working in the fields of Computational Linguistics (CL) and
Natural Language Processing (NLP). CLiC-it promotes and disseminates
high-level, original research on all aspects of automatic language
processing, both written and spoken, and targets state-of-the-art
theoretical results, experimental methodologies, technologies, as well
as application perspectives, which may contribute to the advancement of
the CL and NLP fields.
The spirit of the conference is inclusive. In the conviction that
the complexity of language phenomena needs cross-disciplinary
competences, CLiC-it intends to bring together researchers of related
disciplines such as Computational Linguistics, Natural Language
Processing, Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Machine Learning, Computer
Science, Knowledge Representation, Information Retrieval, and Digital
Humanities. CLiC-it is open to contributions on all languages, with a
particular emphasis on Italian.
The fourth edition of CLiC-it will be held in Rome, on 11-13
December, 2017. CLiC-it is organised by the Italian Association of
Computational Linguistics (AILC -- www.ai-lc.it).
Requirements
The conference invites the submission of papers on all aspects of
automated language processing. Relevant topics for the conference
include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
Cognitive Modeling of Language Processing and Psycholinguistics
Information Extraction, Information Retrieval and Question Answering
Linguistic Issues in CL and in NLP
Language Resources
Machine Learning and Language Processing
Machine Translation and Multilinguality
Morphology and Syntax Processing
NLP for Digital Humanities
NLP for Web and Social Media
Pragmatics and Creativity
Semantics and Knowledge Acquisition
Spoken Language Processing and Automatic Speech Understanding
CLiC-it 2017 has the goal of a broad technical program. We invite
papers in theoretical computational linguistics, empirical/data-driven
approaches, resources and their evaluation, as well as NLP applications
and tools. We also invite papers describing a challenge in the field,
position papers, survey papers, and papers that describe a negative
result.
This year we are also favouring a parallel submission policy for
outstanding papers that have been submitted and accepted elsewhere in
2017. If you are the author of a paper accepted at a major international
CL conference or journal in 2017, you can present your work at CLiC-it
2017 in the form of a short research communication, within a dedicated
session at the conference. Research communications will not be published
in the proceedings, but are mostly intended to enforce dissemination of
excellence in research within the Italian CL community.
Submission Format
Papers may consist of up to four (4) pages of content, and two (2)
additional pages of references. Papers can be either in English or
Italian, with the abstract both in English and Italian. Accepted papers
will be published on-line and will be presented at the conference either
orally or as a poster. For research communications (see above) a two
(2) page abstract is required. The deadline for all types of submissions
is July 15, 2017.
Submissions should follow the two-column format. We strongly
recommend the use of LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word style files
according to the ACL format, which will be soon available on the
conference website under "Submissions". Submission must be electronic in
PDF, using the Easychair submission software.
Reviewing will NOT be blind, so there is no need to remove author information from manuscripts.
