IALP 2009 Call for Papers
International Conference on Asian Languages Processing 2009 (IALP2009)
Dec 7-9, 2009, Singapore
Jointly organized by Chinese and Oriental Languages Information Processing
Society (COLIPS) and IEEE Singapore Computer Chapter (IEEE Singapore CC)
http://www.colips.org/conference/ialp2009
The International Conference on Asian Language Processing (IALP) is a series
of conferences with unique focus on Asian Languages Processing. The
conference aims to advance the science and technology of all the aspect of
Asian Language Processing by providing a forum for researchers in different
fields of language studies all over the world to meet. The first meeting of
IALP held in Singapore in 1986 and was called ICCC (International Conference
on Chinese Computing). This meeting initiated the studies of Chinese and
oriental languages processing in Singapore and resulted in the formation of
COLIPS in Singapore in 1988, and later, the publication of the journal
titled Journal of Chinese Language and Computing since 1991.

Last year, IALP 2008 was held in Chiang Mai University, Thailand and the
proceedings were indexed by ISTP/ISI. The IALP 2009 will be held in
Singapore and co-organized by COLIPS and IEEE Singapore Computer Chapter.
The proceedings will be published by IEEE CPS (Conference Publication
Services). IEEE CPS will submit it for indexing in EI, ISTP/ISI and Current
Contents on Diskette (http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps/index.jsp)

7 Language modeling, statistical methods in natural language
processing and speech processing
7 Spoken language processing, understanding, generation and
translation
7 Rich transcription and spoken information retrieval
7 Speech recognition and synthesis
7 Natural language applications, tools and resources, system
evaluation
7 Asian language learning, teaching and computer-aided language
learning
7 NLP in vertical domains, such as biomedical, chemical and legal text
7 NLP on noisy unstructured text, such as email, blogs, and SMS

7 Special hardware and software for Asian language computing
IALP2009 is now organized into 6 tracks:
1. Linguistics and Language Studies
2. Computational Linguistics
3. Language Information Processing (Information extraction, analysis
etc)
4. Language Technologies (Input, output, font, recognition, synthesis
etc)
5. Computer-aided Language Learning
6. Machine Translation
Submissions:

Submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished
work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis should be
included. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical
strength, significance, relevance to the conference, and interest to the
attendees. Each submission will be reviewed by three program committee
members. Accepted papers will be presented in one of the oral sessions or
poster sessions as determined by the program committee. Papers must be
written in English.
All submissions must be in PDF file only and are electronic using paper
submission software at:<https://www.softconf.com>.
Format:
Full paper submissions should follow the IEEE Proceedings' format without
exceeding six (6) pages including references. We strongly recommend the use
of the LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word style files tailored for this
year's conference according to IEEE Proceedings' format, which will be
available on the conference website soon. Submissions must conform to the
official style guidelines, and they must be electronic in PDF.
As the reviewing will be blind, manuscripts must not include the authors'
names and affiliations. Authors should ensure that their identities are not
revealed in any way in the paper. Papers that do not conform to these
requirements will be rejected without review.
