FSMNLP 2015 - 12th International Conference on Finite-State Methods and Natural Language Processing

The international conference series Finite-State Methods and Natural Language Processing (FSMNLP) is the premier forum of the ACL Special Interest Group on Finite-State Methods (SIGFSM). It serves researchers and practitioners working on:
natural language processing (NLP) applications or language resources,
theoretical and implementational aspects, or their combinations
that have obvious relevance or an explicit relation to finite-state methods.
TOPICS
The conference invites papers related to themes including but not limited to:
NLP applications and linguistic aspects of finite-state methods
Finite-state models of language
Practices for building morphological models for the world’s languages using finite-state technology
Machine learning of finite-state models of natural language
Finite-state manipulation software and tools with relevance to NLP
We would like to reintroduce the FSMNLP 2012 SPECIAL THEME:
FINITE-STATE NLP IN PRACTICE
The special theme does not restrict the scope of papers. We would like to encourage a variety of submissions relating to any practical dimension of finite-state NLP.
Practical implementations of linguistic descriptions with finite-state technology, including grammars, machine learning tools, language-specific challenges to finite-state NLP
Software tools and utilities for finite-state NLP
Finite-state models of linguistic theories
Applications of finite-state-based NLP in closely related fields such as comparative linguistics, text processing, field linguistics, applied linguistics, language teaching, and computer-aided translation.
