ICNLSP 2015

The first International Conference on Natural Language and Speech Processing is organized by the Computational Linguistics Department (Centre de Recherche Scientifique et Technique pour le Développement de la Langue Arabe) and funded by the Algerian ministry of higher education and scientific research . The conference location is Emir Hotel. The targeted audience of ICNLSP are researchers, professors, students and industrials.
The proceedings can be checked in : Procedia Computer Science.

Two keynotes have been presented :

• Present and Future of Automatic Speech Recognition, Jean-Paul Haton , Lorraine University, France.

• Speech Translation : from Research to Applications, Stephan Vogel , QCRI, Qatar.

The chair of ICNLSP 2015, Dr. Mourad Abbas felicitates the authors for the success that they brought to ICNLSP and addresses his sepcial thanks to Dr. Stephan Vogel and Prof. Jean-Paul Haton for their valuable keynotes.

Aims and scope:

The International Conference on Natural Language and Speech Processing ICNLSP 2015 is a conference which creates a synergy between Natural Language Processing and Speech Recognition communities. It highlights new approaches related to the language in both its aspects : text and speech spanning basic theories to applications. Regular and posters sessions will be organized, in addition to keynotes presented by senior international researchers. The conference program will include all presentations of the accepted papers, posters or oral.

The conference invites papers discussing the science and technology related to speech and natural language, regardless of the language studied, however works on Arabic are encouraged.
The following list includes cognition and natural language processing, information retrieval, speech recognition, speech translation, but does not represent an exhaustive list of all topics.

• Signal processing, acoustic modeling.

• Architecture of speech recognition system.

• Deep learning for speech recognition.

• Speech coding.

• Speech comprehension and summarization

• Speech Translation

• Speech synthesis.

• Speaker and language identification

• Phonetics, phonology and prosody.

• Cognition and natural language processing

• Information retrieval.

• Under-resourced languages : tools and corpora.

• New language models.
