Call for Papers
TAL Journal, Special issue on 'Cross/multimodal NLP'
Submission deadline: 28 February 2022
Website: https://tal-63-2.sciencesconf.org
Natural language is not limited to the written modality. It includes and interacts with many others. On the one hand, a message can be conveyed through other language modalities, including audio (speech), gestures and facial expressions (sign language or completed speech). It may also be accompanied by social attitudes and non-verbal dimensions, including signs of affect, spontaneity, pathology, co-adaptation with dialogue participants, etc. Natural language processing (NLP) is thus a joint processing of multiple information channels. On the other hand, natural language is often used to describe concepts and denote entities that are essentially multimodal (description of an image, an event, etc.). Many problems then require bridges between different modalities.
The objective of this special issue of the journal TAL is to promote NLP in multimodal contexts (several modalities contribute to the resolution of a problem) or inter-modal contexts (passage from one modality to another). Thus, the contributions expected for this special issue are, among others (but not exclusively), in the following fields of application:
In the face of the predominance of work on written language processing and the historical compartmentalisation of communities specific to each modality (image processing, signal processing, neuroscience, etc.), authors are encouraged to highlight the specificities (benefits, difficulties, perspectives, etc.) linked to inter- or multimodality in their work, for instance concerning:
IMPORTANT DATES
LANGUAGE
Manuscripts may be submitted in English or French. If all authors are French speakers, they are requested to submit their contributions in French.
FORMAT
Papers must be between 20 and 25 pages, references and appendices included (no length exemptions are possible). Authors who intend to submit a paper are encouraged to click the menu item 'Paper submission' (PDF format).
To do so, they will need to have an account, or create it, on the sciencesconf platform (go to http://www.sciencesconf.org and click on 'create account' next to the 'Connect' button at the top of the page). To submit, come back to the page https://tal-63-2.sciencesconf.org/ , connect to the account and upload the submission.
From now on, TAL will perform double-blind review: it is thus necessary to anonymize the manuscript and the name of the pdf file.
Style sheets are available for download on the Web site of the journal (https://www.atala.org/content/instruction-authors-style-files-0)
ABOUT THE JOURNAL
Traitement Automatique des Langues (TAL, “Natural Language Processing”) is an international journal published by ATALA (French Association for Natural Language Processing) since 1960 with the support of the CNRS (French National Centre for Scientific Research). It has moved to an electronic mode of publication, with printing on demand. This has no impact however on the reviewing and selection process.
