CLIC-it 2014 - First Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics

Conference Announcement and First Call for Papers
9-10 December 2014, Pisa, Italy
http://clic.humnet.unipi.it

Co-located with Evalita 2014 (http://www.evalita.org) and AI*IA 2014
(http://aiia2014.di.unipi.it)



CLIC-it, Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics, is a new event
aiming to establish a reference forum for research on Computational
Linguistics of the Italian community. CLIC-it covers all aspects of
automatic language understanding, both written and spoken, and targets
state-of-art theoretical results, experimental methodologies, technologies,
as well as application perspectives, which may contribute to advance the
field.

The spirit of the Conference is inclusive. In the conviction that the
complexity of language phenomena needs cross-disciplinary
competences, CLIC-it intends to bring together researchers of related
disciplines such as Computational Linguistics, Linguistics, Cognitive
Science, Machine Learning, Computer Science, Knowledge Representation,
Information Retrieval and Digital Humanities. CLIC-it is open to
contributions on all languages, with a particular emphasis on Italian.

The first edition of CLIC-it, CLIC-it 2014, will be held in Pisa on December
9-10 2014, and it will be co-located with EVALITA-2014
(http://www.evalita.org), the fourth edition of the evaluation campaign of
Natural Language Processing and Speech tools for Italian. CLIC-it will
provide additional opportunities to discuss research aspects related with
EVALITA, as well as new tasks and new evaluation methodologies.

Submission information
--------------------------------------------
CLIC-it 2014 has the goal of a broad technical program. We invite papers in
the following four broad categories: theoretical computational linguistics,
empirical/data-driven approaches, resources/evaluation,
applications/tools. We also invite papers describing a challenge in the
field, position papers, survey papers, and papers that describe a negative
result.
Papers may consist of up to four (4) pages of content, and two (2)
additional pages of references. Paper can be either in English or Italian,
with the abstract both in English and Italian. Accepted papers will be
published on-line and will be presented at the conference either orally or
as a poster. The deadline for paper submissions is July 15, 2014.
Paper submissions should follow the two-column format. We strongly recommend
the use of LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word style files according to the
ACL format, which are available on the conference website under
"Submissions".

Submission must be electronic in PDF, using the Easychair submission
software at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=clic2014

Reviewing will NOT be blind, so there is no need to remove author
information from manuscripts.
