Natural Language Processing and Information Systems: 12th International Conference on Applications of Natural Language to Information Systems, NLDB 2007, ... Applications, incl. Internet Web, and HCI)

The 12th International Conference on Applications of Natural Language to Infor- tion Systems (NLDB 2007) took place during June 27–29 in Paris (France). Since the first edition in 1995, the NLDB conference has been aiming at bringing together researchers, people working in industry and potential users interested in various - plications of natural language in the database and information system areas. Natural language and databases are core components in the development of inf- mation systems. NLP techniques may substantially enhance most phases of the information system lifecycle, starting with requirement analysis, specification and validation, and going up to conflict resolution, result processing and presentation. Furthermore, natural language-based query languages and user interfaces facilitate the access to information for all and allow for new paradigms in the usage of comput- ized services. Hot topics such as information retrieval and Semantic Web-based applications imply a complete fusion of databases and NLP techniques. Among an increasing number of submitted papers (110), the Program Committee selected 31 papers as full papers, thus coming up with an acceptance rate of 28%. These proceedings also include 12 short papers that were presented at the conference and two invited talks, one given by Andrew Basden and Heinz Klein and the other given by Max Silberztein. An Alternative Approach To Tagging / Max Silberztein -- An Efficient Denotational Semantics For Natural Language Database Queries / Richard A. Frost And Randy J. Fortier -- An Approach To Hierarchical Email Categorization Based On Me / Peifeng Li, Jinhui Li And Qiaoming Zhu -- Developing Methods And Heuristics With Low Time Complexities For Filtering Spam Messages / Tunga Gungor And Ali Ciltik -- Exploit Semantic Information For Category Annotation Recommendation In Wikipedia / Yang Wang, Haofen Wang, Haiping Zhu And Yong Yu -- A Lightweight Approach To Semantic Annotation Of Research Papers / Nicola Zeni, Nadzeya Kiyavitskaya, Luisa Mich, John Mylopoulos And James R.

Includes Bibliographical References And Index. This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Applications of Natural Language to Information Systems, held in Salford, UK, in June 2013. The 21 long papers, 15 short papers and 17 poster papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 80 submissions. The papers cover the following topics: requirements engineering, question answering systems, named entity recognition, sentiment analysis and mining, forensic computing, semantic web, and information search.
