[CFP] Special Issue on Knowledge and Language Processing @ IPM - Deadline Extended to April 7th

*** Aim & Scope ***
Aim of the Special Issue on Knowledge and Language Processing (KLP) is to
investigate techniques and application of knowledge engineering and natural
language processing, focusing in particular on approaches combining them.
This is an extremely interdisciplinary emerging research area, at the core
of Artificial Intelligence, combining and complementing the scientific
results from Natural Language Processing and Knowledge Representation and
Reasoning.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- NLP for Knowledge
---- NLP tasks for Knowledge Extraction
---- NLP for Implicit Knowledge
---- NLP for Ontology Population and Learning
---- Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining for Knowledge Applications
---- Interplay between Language Resources and Ontologies
---- NLP for Explainable Knowledge
---- NL Generation from Structured Information and Linked Data
---- Machine Translation techniques for Multi-lingual Knowledge
---- NLP for the Web
- Knowledge for NLP
---- Knowledge to improve NLP tasks
---- Knowledge for Information Retrieval
---- Knowledge-based Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining
---- Ontologies for Language
---- Combining Knowledge and Deep Learning for NLP
---- Knowledge for Text Summarization and Generation
---- Knowledge for Persuasion
---- Knowledge-based Machine Translation
---- Knowledge for the Web
---- Linked Data for NLP
- Knowledge and NLP Applications
---- Real-world applications that exploit Knowledge and NLP
---- Knowledge and NLP Systems for Big Data scenarios
---- Deployment of Knowledge and NLP Systems in specific domains. For
example:
------- Digital Humanities and Social Sciences
------- eGovernment and public administration
------- Life sciences, health and medicine
------- News and Data Streams

The interplay between Natural Language Processing and Knowledge Processing
is mandatory.
Approaches limited to only Natural Language Processing or to only Knowledge
Processing will not be considered relevant for the Special Issue.

*** Paper Submission ***
Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers. All
submissions will be peer-reviewed and judged on accuracy, originality,
significance, quality, and relevance to the special issue topics of
interest. Submitted papers should not have appeared in or be under
consideration for another journal.
Paper submission via https://www.evise.com/profile/#/IPM/login
Instructions for authors:
https://www.elsevier.com/journals/information-processing-and-management/0306-4573/guide-for-authors
Please select the correct issue to submit to: "Special Issue on Knowledge
and Language Processing".

In case the work is based on a previous publication, only substancial
extensions (at least 50%) will be considered acceptable for the Special
Issue.
A mandatory cover letter has to be submitted together with the manuscript
and it MUST contain a clear description of why the contribution is relevant
for the Special Issue and in particular how NLP and KP are combined.
Furthermore, in case of an extension of a previous work, a detailed
description of the differences and the new contributions in the new
submission has to be included in the cover letter and also in the paper.

At the closing of the submission system, the Guest Editors will perform a
pre-screening of all submissions to verify the requirements described above.
Papers that will not meet such requirements, according to the Guest Editors
discretion, will be rejected.
