Call for Papers

The Computational Linguistics Workshop on Austroniesian Languages is held as part of 12ICAL at Udayana University (Denpasar Campus), Bali, Indonesia.

TOPICS

We invite the submission of papers on original and unpublished research on various aspects of computational linguistics and natural language processing for languages in the Pacific and Oceanic regions.

Topics include, but not limited to:

• phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse;
• lexicography and computational lexicography;
• lexical resources
• lexical semantics
• interpreting spoken and written language;
• natural language generation;
• linguistic formalisms and grammar engineering;
• engineering solutions for field linguists;
• linguistic, mathematical, and psychological models of language;
• corpus-based and statistical language modelling;
• machine translation and translation aids;
• question answering and information extraction;
• natural language interfaces and dialogue systems;
• summarisation.

We welcome submissions on any topic that is of interest to the Computational Linguistics and Austronesian Linguistics community. We especially encourage submissions that integrate aspects of both disciplines.
