ICACL 2016 - 2nd International Conference on Arabic Computational Linguistics

In general, we are interested in whatever helps, will help eventually, or might help computers meaningfully deal with Arabic language data.
The conference is intended to encourage exchange of opinions between the scientists working in different areas of the growing field of computational linguistics and intelligent text and speech processing. Our idea is to get a general view of the state of art in computational linguistics and its applications.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics, provided that the work is presented in computer-related or formal description aspects:
Arabic Computational linguistics research:
Computational linguistic theories and formalisms
Representation of linguistic knowledge
Lexical resources
Morphology, syntax, semantics
Discourse models
Ambiguity resolution
Anaphora resolution
Word sense disambiguation
Recognizing textual entailment
Text generation
Machine translation
etc.
Intelligent text and speech processing and their applications for Arabic language:
Opinion mining, sentiment analysis, social networks
Speech processing and text-to-speech
Text categorization and clustering
Information retrieval, information extraction
Text mining
Summarization
Spell checking
Detection of plagiarism
Natural language interfaces
etc.
