Dear list members,

On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to invite you and your colleagues to submit papers or poster abstracts to the 29th International Conference on Asian Language Processing (IALP).

IALP 2025 will be jointly organized by the Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), and the Chinese and Oriental Languages Information Processing Society (COLIPS). The conference will take place from 4–6 August 2025 at the Borneo Cultures Museum, Kuching, Sarawak in Malaysia.

The International Conference on Asian Language Processing (IALP) is the flagship event of COLIPS, uniquely focused on advancing research in Asian language processing. As a recurring conference series, IALP brings together researchers from diverse linguistic disciplines to foster the development of science and technology in all areas of Asian language processing. By providing a collaborative platform, the conference facilitates knowledge exchange and the exploration of the latest innovations in the field.

All accepted papers will be submitted for potential inclusion in IEEE proceedings, subject to fulfilling IEEE’s quality standards.

We welcome research papers on techniques, methodologies, and approaches that include the following but not limited to:

A. Speech:

 

•   Spoken language processing

•   Spoken language understanding

•   Spoken language generation

•   Spoken language translation

•   Speech recognition and synthesis

•   Rich transcription and spoken information retrieval

•   Multimodal representations and processing

•   Speaker diariazation and speech enhancement

•   Speaker recognition and anti-spoofing

•   Trustworthy speech technology

 

B. Natural Language Processing (NLP):

 

•   Dialogue and interactive systems

•   Evaluation methods and user studies

•   Information extraction, retrieval, and text mining

•   Interpretability and analysis of models for NLP

•   Language modeling and statistical methods for NLP

•   Machine learning for Natural Language Processing

•   Machine translation and multilingual processing

•   NLP in vertical domains, such as biomedical, chemical, and legal text

•   NLP on noisy unstructured text, such as email, blogs, and SMS

•   Natural language applications, tools, and resources

•   Question answering

•   Sentiment analysis, stylistic analysis, and argument mining

•   Tagging, chunking, and parsing

•   Text entailment, paraphrasing, generation

•   Large language models

•   Text and speech resource development

 

C. Linguistics:

 

•   Asian language input, output, coding, etc.

•   Computational linguistics and mathematical linguistics

•   Discourse and pragmatics

•   Language learning, teaching, and computer-aided language learning

•   Lexical semantics, sentence-level semantics, and textual inference

•   Linguistic theories, cognitive modeling, and psycholinguistics

•   Phonology, morphology, and word segmentation

•   Special hardware and software for Asian language computing
