Dear all,
(Apologies for cross-posting)
This is the third CFP for the second Arabic Natural Language Processing Conference (ArabicNLP 2024)
Co-located with ACL 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand, August 16, 2024. (Hybrid Mode).
Conference URL: https://arabicnlp2024.sigarab.org/
ArabicNLP 2024 builds on eight previous conference and workshop editions, which have been very successful drawing in a large active participation in various capacities (See Scholar Page). This conference is timely given the continued rise in research projects focusing on Arabic NLP. The conference is organized by the Special Interest Group on Arabic NLP (SIGARAB), an Association for Computational Linguistics Special Interest Group on Arabic NLP.
Call for Papers
We invite long (up to 8 pages), short (up to 4 pages), and demo paper (up to 4 pages) submissions. Long and short papers will be presented orally or as posters as determined by the program committee; presentation mode does not reflect the quality of the work.
Submissions are invited on topics that include, but are not limited to, the following:
Enabling technologies: (any size) language models, diacritization, lemmatization, morphological analysis, disambiguation, tokenization, POS tagging, named entity detection, chunking, parsing, semantic role labeling, sentiment analysis, Arabic dialect modeling, etc.
Applications: dialog modeling, machine translation, speech recognition, speech synthesis, optical character recognition, pedagogy, assistive technologies, social media analytics, etc.
Resources: dictionaries, annotated data, corpora, 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, classical, or mixed. Papers on other languages sharing problems faced by Arabic NLP researchers, such as Semitic languages or languages using Arabic script, are welcome provided that they propose techniques or approaches that would be of interest to Arabic NLP, and they explain why this is the case. 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. We also welcome position papers and surveys about any of the above topics.
