The
7th International Conference on Arabic Language Processing
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.
