INTRODUCTION
The goal of the NL4AI workshop is to explore the role of Natural
Language and Natural Language Processing in Artificial Intelligence
applications. We believe that new technological challenges and
opportunities rise at the boundary between NLP and AI. On the one
hand, AI applications benefit from a deeper understanding of problems
related to Natural Language, and thus the integration of advanced NLP
techniques. On the other hand, NLP benefits greatly from being used in
in wider areas of AI where problems and methodologies related to NL
can be evaluated in new contexts. We encourage papers exploring the
application of NLP approaches to tasks in specific AI areas, e.g.
NLP4LegalDomain, NLP4Robotics, NLP4Vision, NLP4Health,
NLP4CulturalHeritage, and so on.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
We invite papers that pertain to the workshop theme including but not
limited to:
NLP and AI applications in the Web era
Natural Language Interfaces for Human Robot Interaction
Resources and evaluation for NLP based AI systems
Position papers on the role of NLP in AI and societal impact
Discourse and Pragmatics
Natural Language Generation
Information extraction and general NLP and AI applications (including
but not limited to text mining, semantic analytics, question
answering, document analysis, text categorization, topic models,
retrieval)
Machine Learning for NLP
Sentiment analysis and Opinion mining
Natural Language Inference
Natural Language Processing and Industrial Challenges
Semantic Web including role of Ontologies and Knowledge Graphs for
Natural Language Processing
Conversational Agents in Human-Computer Interaction
Natural Language in Vision and Cognition
Cognitive modeling and psycholinguistics
HOW TO SUBMIT
We encourage submissions that describe new theoretical models, applied
techniques, and research in progress. However, contributions that have
been already published or presented in other locations are welcomed.
Depending if the authors transferred the right of publishing their
work exclusively to a specific editor (e.g. IEEE/ACM conferences and
journals), we might not be able to include the submission into the
proceedings. In such a case, the work will be only mentioned in the
proceedings.
Submissions should be prepared according to the main conference format
(Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science, see:
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
All submissions should be written in English and submitted as PDF. The
page limit is 12 pages (plus bibliography) for research papers and 6
pages (plus bibliography) for demo and position papers. Submissions
will be peer reviewed (single-blind) by the program committee members.
Evaluation criteria will include novelty, significance for
theory/practice, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. All
the submissions should be submitted via EasyChair.
At least one author of an accepted paper must attend the workshop to
present the work.
The accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings via
CEUR Workshop Proceedings. We will also consider editing a special
issue on The Italian Journal of Computational Linguistics
(http://www.ai-lc.it/it/rivista) after the workshop by encouraging the
participants to extend their papers.
