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 include
research results as well as work in progress. Submissions must have a clear
focus on specific issues pertaining to and cross-language processing,
including minority language processing. Descriptions of commercial systems
are welcome, provided the authors are willing to discuss the details of
their work. The number of pages should be limited to 1–2 pages.
We suggest you structure your abstract using the following headings but it
is not mandatory:
- Introduction
- Existing Work
- Methods Proposed
- Results
- Conclusion
Only the PDF version of the abstract is accepted. The submitted abstract
will be subject to a double-blind review, and must not contain authors'
names and affiliations.
