WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Arabic is a challenging language for the field of computational
linguistics. This is due to many factors including its complex and rich
morphology, its high degree of ambiguity as well as the presence of a
number of dialects that vary quite widely. Arabic is also a language
with important geopolitical connections. It is spoken by over 400
million people in countries with varying degrees of prosperity and
stability. It is the primary language of the latest world refugee
problem affecting the Middle East and Europe. The opportunities that
are made possible by working on this language and its dialects cannot be
underestimated in their consequence on the Arab World, the Mediterranean
Region and the rest of the World.
There has been a lot of progress in the last 15 years in the area of
Arabic Natural Language Processing (NLP). Many Arabic NLP (or Arabic
NLP-related) workshops and conferences have taken place, both in the
Arab World and in association with international conferences.
We invite submissions on topics that include, but are not limited to,
the following :
- Basic core technologies : morphological analysis, disambiguation,
tokenization, POS tagging, named entity detection, chunking, parsing,
semantic role labeling, sentiment analysis, Arabic dialect modeling,
etc.
- Applications : machine translation, speech recognition, speech
synthesis, optical character recognition, pedagogy, assistive
technologies, social media, etc.
- Resources : dictionaries, annotated data, etc.
Submissions may include work in progress as well as finished work.
Submissions must have a clear focus on specific issues pertaining to the
Arabic language whether it is standard Arabic, dialectal, or
mixed. Papers on other languages sharing problems faced by Arabic NLP
researchers such as Semitic languages or languages using Arabic script
are welcome. Additionally, papers on efforts using Arabic resources but
targeting other languages are also welcome. Descriptions of commercial
systems are welcome, but authors should be willing to discuss the
details of their work.
Paper Length : Submissions are expected to be up to 8 pages long plus any
number of pages for references.
