LANGUAGE AND SPEECH PROCESSING
SLSP 2017

**********************************************************************************
AIMS:
SLSP is a yearly conference series aimed at promoting and
displaying excellent research on the wide spectrum of statistical
methods that are currently in use in computational language or
speech processing. It aims at attracting contributions from both
fields. Though there exist large, well-known conferences and
workshops hosting contributions to any of these areas, SLSP is a
more focused meeting where synergies between subdomains and people
will hopefully happen. In SLSP 2017, significant room will be
reserved to young scholars at the beginning of their career and
particular focus will be put on methodology.
VENUE:
SLSP 2017 will take place in Le Mans, in the region Pays de la
Loire, a city with well-preserved Gallo-Roman remnants. The venue
will be:
Claude Chappe Informatics Institute
University of Le Mans
Avenue Laënnec
72085 Le Mans Cedex 9
SCOPE:
The conference invites submissions discussing the employment of
statistical models (including machine learning) within language
and speech processing. Topics of either theoretical or applied
interest include, but are not limited to:
anaphora and coreference resolution
authorship identification, plagiarism and spam filtering
computer-aided translation
corpora and language resources
data mining and semantic web
information extraction
information retrieval
knowledge representation and ontologies
lexicons and dictionaries
machine translation
multimodal technologies
natural language understanding
neural representation of speech and language
opinion mining and sentiment analysis
parsing
part-of-speech tagging
question-answering systems
semantic role labelling
speaker identification and verification
