Call for papers ICALP2019 (ex CITALA)
The International Conference on Arabic Language Processing ICALP2019 (ex
CITALA) is aimed to be one of the most important and leading conference
on Arabic NLP (https://icalp2019.loria.fr). ICALP2019 is the 7th edition
(information about the previous editions are mentioned at : ICALP2017),
all branches of NLP related to Arabic or Semitic languages are welcomed.
Arabic spoken or text language processing are the main kernel of
ICALP2019. The conference will emphasize on all the approaches from
theoretical models to industrial applications. ICALP2019 will be held at
Loria (University of Lorraine), which is situated in Nancy on the east
part of France near the border of Luxembourg and Germany. We look
forward to welcome you to a scientifically inspiring event and we hope
that ICALP2019 will be a highly positive scientific experience for all
the participants. Two keynote speakers *Dr Mona Diab* (Department of
Computer Science, George Washington University) and *Dr Albert Gatt
*(Institute of Linguistics and Language Technology, University of
Malta.) will share their expertise with the aim of exposing participants
to a wide spectrum of research and applications, to foster
cross-pollination of research ideas and interests in Arabic Language
Processing and related applications. As in the previous year (ICALP –
CITALA 2017), we aim, for accepted papers, to be published by Springer.
All the submitted papers will be reviewed by three experts from the
domain. Only the 30% best papers will be selected to be published by
Springer. Participants are invited to submit original communications in
all the areas of Arabic NLP. Few topics of the conference are given
below.
