Special Track

Track on Applied Natural Language Processing (ANLP)

Call for Papers

The availability and size of textual information have grown dramatically in different areas such as academic, work or individual. Emails, working papers, scientific articles or social media publications are some examples of large sources of data that are presented in natural language. This raises a challenge, since the language presents a type of unstructured data that contains ambiguity, among other properties that increase the difficulty in the processing task. In this context, there is a growing interest in improving the accessibility to information and its exploitation in different environments by companies and organizations.

For all this, the applications of Natural Language Processing have become very important today. SIMBig has become an important meeting point of computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world. The Applied Natural Language Processing (ANLP) track of SIMBig will provide a forum that brings both researchers and practitioners to discuss: research trends and techniques related to Natural Language Processing.

Short Papers
Short Papers are limited to 7-12 pages, including all content and references, and must be in PDF formatted with the Springer publication format.

Paper Submission Guidelines

  • All research submissions must be in English.
  • Submissions must be in PDF, formatted with the Springer Publications format. For details on the Springer style, see here. Optionally, an overleaf template is available here.
  • Please, note that ANLP submission is double-blind. Therefore, authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that does not reveal their identity. Follow this instruction to avoid an automatic rejection of the submission.
  • Papers accepted for publication: the camera-ready version of your paper must be submitted only using Latex format. This is to ensure proper insertion of the manuscript in proceedings. Failure to follow this instruction will result in disregard of submission.

Submissions Website

Submissions for ANLP must be performed strictly via the EasyChair: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=anlp2023.
