ANLP-2022

• Fazel Keshtkar, ST JOHN'S University [keshtkaf@stjohns.edu] 

• Chutima Boonthum-Denecke, Hampton University, [chutima.boonthum@hamptonu.edu] 

What is ANLP? 

 The track on Applied Natural Language Processing is a forum for researchers working in natural language processing(NLP)/computational linguistics(CL) and related areas. The rapid pace of development of online materials, most of them in textual form or text combined  with other media (visual, audio), has led to a revived interest for tools capable to understand, organize and mine those materials. Novel human-computer interfaces, for instance talking heads,  can benefit from language understanding and generation techniques with big impact on user satisfaction. Moreover, language can facilitate human-computer interaction for the handicapped  (no typing needed) and elderly leading to an ever increasing user base for computer systems.

Conference Proceedings

Papers will be refereed and all accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, which will be published by TBA

In cooperation with: Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence 

Submission Guidelines 

Interested authors should format their papers according to AAAI formatting guidelines. The papers should be original work (i.e., not submitted, in submission, or submitted to another  conference while in review). Papers should not exceed 6 pages (2 pages for a poster) and are due by Jan 24st, 2022 (firm). For FLAIRS-35, the 2022 conference, the reviewing is a double blind process. Fake author names and affiliations must be used on submitted papers to provide  double-blind reviewing. Papers must be submitted as PDF through the EasyChair conference  system, which can be accessed through the main conference web site (https://www.flairs-35.info/call-for-papers).

•  Note: do not use a fake name for your EasyChair login - your EasyChair account information is hidden from reviewers. Authors should indicate the ANLP special track for submissions. 

• The proceedings of FLAIRS will be published by the Florida OJ.. FLAIRS requires that there be at least one full author registration per paper.

Please, check the website http://www.flairs-35.info/ for further information.
