New trends of intelligent language processing systems are emerging, such as big data analysis, social network analysis, Internet of things, smart services, mobile computing, computer games, to name a few. Applications of these trends have been applied to various domains including education, travel and tourism, healthcare, among others.

RE-WOCHAT: LREC 2016 Workshop on Collecting and Generating Resources for Chatbots and Conversational Agents - Development and Evaluation

http://workshop.colips.org/re-wochat/

Workshop Description

Although non goal-oriented dialogue systems have been around for many years (almost fifty years
indeed, if we consider Weizenbaum's Eliza system as the starting milestone), they have been recently
gaining a lot of popularity in both research and commercial arenas. From the commercial stand point,

RANLP (Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing) has established itself over the years as one of the most influential and competitive NLP conferences. The event is held biennially and grew out of the International summer schools "Contemporary topics in Computational Linguistics", which were organised for many years as training events. Selected papers from most RANLP conferences have been regularly published in a volume as part of John Benjamins’ series “Current Trends of Linguistic Research”.

** Call for abstracts on ongoing projects or system demonstrations **
** Submission deadline 10 November **

DialDam will be the 17th edition of the SemDial workshop series, which aims to bring together researchers working on the semantics and pragmatics of dialogue in fields such as formal semantics and pragmatics, computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience. In 2013 the workshop will be hosted by the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation, University of Amsterdam, and will be collocated with the Amsterdam Colloquium.

The eighth IJCAI workshop on ``Knowledge and Reasoning in Practical
Dialogue Systems'' will focus on challenges arising due to comprehension
difficulties in dialogue systems. These difficulties include speech
recognition errors and speech disfluencies in spoken dialogue systems,
syntax errors, out-of-grammar and out-of-vocabulary phenomena, rambling
discourse, as well as non-cooperative dialogues. Topics addressed in
the workshop include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Approaches for identifying different types of comprehension
