   Call for Papers:   
   AIPR-07 Special Session on Frontiers of Language Processing and   
   Information Retrieval for Asian Languages   
      
   A Special Session on the Frontiers of Language Processing and   
   Information Retrieval for Asian Languages will be held during the 2007   
   International Conference on Artificial   
      
   Intelligence and Pattern Recognition (AIPR-07). This special session   
   will look at the current trends and state of the art research in   
   language processing and information retrieval   
      
   for Asian languages. Recently there has been an explosion of research   
   in Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, etc. The research for   
   these languages are producing   
      
   extraordinary results. This special session is meant to be a showcase   
   for such research, hopefully creating a dialog between researchers in   
   Asian and non-Asian languages.   
      
   The scope of the special session includes, but is not limited to:   
      
   * Natural Language Processing   
   * Machine Translation   
   * Information Retrieval   
   * Language-based Affective Computing   
   * Dialog Systems   
   * Question & Answering   
   * Language Learning Systems   
   * Spoken Language Processing   
      
   SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:   
   Authors should submit their draft as an email attachment to davidb at
