Journal of Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence Special Issue on Plagiarism Detection using Natural Language Processing Techniques
by Asad Abdi 10 Dec '22

10 Dec '22

About this Research Topic Abstract Submission Deadline 17 February 2023 Manuscript Submission Deadline 24 May 2023 https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/50171/plagiarism-detection-usin… Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a subfield and a key technology of artificial intelligence. In recent years, many highly recognized efforts in NLP have emerged. NLP is a field where the use of Machine/Deep learning-based models in the past few years has allowed Artificial Intelligence (AI) to advance toward human levels like performances in different real-world applications. The significant advances in NLP have brought significant opportunities but also opened up new challenges for research. In this Research Topic collection, researchers and practitioners, both from academia and industry are invited to contribute with research work that presents significant originality, concepts, and methods in the field of NLP and AI applied to various areas of plagiarism detection. Furthermore, these applications have reached most languages and especially those with low and limited resources. This Research Topic will aim at gathering state-of-the-art research and development in not only NLP applications but will include new theoretical frameworks and methodologies. This Research Topic addresses plagiarism detection. Due to the growing amount of information available on the internet, it makes it easier for someone to pass off and claim someone else's ideas as their own work without properly crediting the original source or owner. As a matter of ethics, plagiarism should be avoided. Currently, both academic and non-academic communities have become concerned about this issue. When someone plagiarises, they make an effort to pass off another person's contribution or words as their own. Furthermore, other forms of plagiarism involve taking credit for results, inventions, and mental activities produced by other people without acknowledgment. Additionally, it is also considered plagiarism to present someone else’s knowledge or idea as one’s own. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: • Architectures and systems for plagiarism detection • External/Intrinsic plagiarism detection • Cross-lingual plagiarism detection for low-resource languages • Self-plagiarism or multiple submissions to different journals • NLP-based deep learning approaches for plagiarism detection • Short text similarity measurement

Call for paper: THE 28TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NATURAL LANGUAGE & INFORMATION SYSTEMS
by Asad Abdi 10 Dec '22

10 Dec '22

About the event The 28th International Conference on Natural Language and Information Systems will be held at the University of Derby, United Kingdom and will be a face to face. https://www.derby.ac.uk/events/latest-events/nldb-2023/ Since 1995, the Natural Language to Data Bases (NLDB) conference brings together researchers, industry practitioners, and potential users interested in various applications of Natural Language in the Database and Information Systems field. The term "Information Systems" has to be considered in the broader sense of Information and Communication Systems, including Big Data, Linked Data and Social Networks. The field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has recently experienced several exciting developments. In research, these developments have been reflected in the emergence of neural language models (Deep Learning, Word Embeddings, Transformers) and the importance of aspects such as transparency, bias and fairness, a (renewed) interest in various linguistic phenomena, such as in discourse and argumentation mining, and in new problems such as the detection of disinformation and hate speech in social media, as well of mental health disorders that increased during the recent pandemic. Regarding applications, NLP systems have evolved to the point that they now offer real-life, tangible benefits to enterprises. Many of these NLP systems are now considered a de-facto offering in business intelligence suites, such as algorithms for recommender systems and opinion mining/sentiment analysis. It is against this backdrop of recent innovations in NLP and its applications in information systems that the 28th edition of the NLDB conference takes place. We welcome research and industrial contributions, describing novel, previously unpublished works on NLP and its applications across a plethora of topics as described in the Call for Papers. Call for Papers NLDB 2023 invites authors to submit papers for oral or poster presentations on 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 survey and discussion papers. Authors should follow the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format and submit their manuscripts as a PDF via Easychair. Important Dates Full paper submission: 14 March 2023 Paper notification: 10 April 2023 Camera-ready deadline: 24 April 2023 Conference: 21 - 23 June 2023
