*Important Dates :*

Full paper submission : 1 March 2019
Notification of acceptance : 01 April 2019
Camera-ready papers : 15 April 2019
Conference : 26-28 June 2019

Since 1995, the NLDB conference aims at bringing together researchers,
industrials and potential users interested in various applications of
Natural Language in the Database and Information Systems field. NLDB
2019 invites researchers from academia and industry to submit papers for
oral or poster presentations on recent, unpublished research that
addresses theoretical aspects, algorithms, applications, architectures
for applied and integrated NLP, resources for applied NLP, and other
aspects of NLP, as well as review and discussion papers.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to :

*Argumentation Mining and Applications :* Automatic detection of
argumentation components and relationships, Creation of resources, e.g.
annotated corpora, treebanks and parsers, Integration of NLP techniques
with formal, Abstract argumentation structures, Argumentation Mining
from legal texts and scientific articles, Applications, e.g. in opinion
mining/sentiment analysis

*Deep Learning, Neural Languages and NLP :* Word2Vec applications, e.g.
opinion mining, text summarization, machine translation, Development of
novel deep learning architectures and algorithms, Parallel computation
techniques and GPU programming for neural language models

*Social Media and Web Analytics :* Plagiarism detection, Opinion
mining/sentiment analysis, detection of fake reviews, Information
extraction : NER, event detection, term and semantic relationship
extraction, Text summarization, Text classification and clustering,
Corpus analysis, Language detection, Robust NLP methods for sparse,
ill-formed texts, Recommendation systems

*Question Answering (QA) :* Natural language interfaces to databases, QA
using web data, Multi-lingual QA, Non-factoid QA(how/why/opinion
questions, lists), Geographical QA, QA corpora and training sets, QA
over Linked Data (QALD)

*Corpus Analysis :* Multi-lingual and Multi-cultural corpus, Machine
translation, Text analysis, Classification systems, Extraction, Named
Entity and Event Extraction

*Semantic Web, Open Linked Data, and Ontologies :* Ontology learning and
alignment, Ontology population, Ontology evaluation, Querying
ontologies and Linked Data, Semantic tagging and classification,
Ontology-driven NLP, Ontology-driven systems integration

*Natural Language in Conceptual Modeling :* Analysis of natural language
descriptions, NLP in requirement Engineering, Terminological
ontologies, Consistency checking, Metadata creation and harvesting

*Natural language and Ubiquitous Computing* : Pervasive computing,
embedded, robotic and mobile applications, NLP techniques for Internet
of Things (IoT), NLP techniques for ambient intelligence

*Big Data and Business intelligence :* Identity Detection, Semantic Data
