Call For Papers

The Workshop W-NUT 2015 will be held in Beijing, China, on July 31, 2015.
The website for the workshop is at:

http://noisy-text.github.io/

This workshop will focus on a core set of natural language processing tasks
on top of noisy user-generated text, such as that found on social media,
clinical records, web forums, online reviews and language learner essays.

We seek submissions of abstracts (2-4 pages) and long papers ((= 8 pages, original work).
Abstracts on work-in-progress or work published elsewhere are welcome and
will not be included in the proceedings.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• NLP Preprocessing of Noisy Text
- Part of speech tagging
- Named entity tagging, including a wide range of categories, e.g. product names
- Chunking of user-generated text
- Parsing
• Text Normalization and Error Correction
- Normalizing noisy text for downstream tasks and for human readability
- Error detection and correction
• Paraphrase extraction and detection in noisy text
• Semantics in noisy text
• Bilingual translation of noisy text
• Multilingual NLP in noisy text
• Colloquial language, e.g. idiom detection
• Domain adaptation to user-generated text
