Because of its wide range of applications as well as its challenges,
NLP has become a very active research area. Subjects of interest
include basic research, technologies, applications and engineering,
automatic parsing and tagging, named entity recognition, word sense
disambiguation, sentence understanding, grammar induction, machine
translation, information extraction, automatic question answering,
text summarization, and text mining. State-of-the-art NLP research
combines sophisticated and deep linguistic modeling and data analysis
with innovative probabilistic and machine learning approaches.

The goals of this track are to provide participants with an
opportunity to exchange ideas, approaches and implementations of
computational systems, to highlight the common challenges faced by all
practitioners, to assess the state of the art in the field, and to
identify promising areas for future collaborative research in the
development of NLP resources and systems..
