<http://alt.qcri.org/esslli2018-nlp-era/>Workshop, co-located with the
famous European Summer School inLanguage, Logics, and Information (ESSLLI
2018, http://esslli2018.folli.info/ <http://esslli2018.folli.info/>)August
13-17, 2018Sofia, BulgariaINTRODUCTIONRecent years have seen fast advances
of the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) due to the simultaneous
influence of two revolutionary forces: Big Data and Deep Learning. The aim
of using large corpora has been prominent in NLP since an earlier
statistical, corpus-based revolution of the 1990s. Indeed, in corpus-based
NLP size does matter, and researchers have been exploring corpora as large
as the entire Web; now this abundance of data has enabled the return of
Neural Networks and the rise of Deep Learning. More recently, we have
further seen the rise of Big Data with its 3Vs: Volume, Velocity, and
Variety. Even more recently, with the spread of fake news, it has been
suggested that a fourth V should be considered: Veracity. The workshop
welcomes work presenting new developments in applying NLP for solving
problems related to Big Data, Deep Learning, and Veracity. We also invite
discussion about the impact of these revolutionary forces on the field of
NLP as a whole.Selected papers that have been presented at the workshop
will be invited to submit a full version of the paper to the Cybernetics
and Information Technologies journal, which is indexed by SCOPUS, SJR, and
some other databases:http://www.cit.iit.bas.bg/
<http://www.cit.iit.bas.bg/>The workshop will be held during the whole
second week of the 30th edition of ESSLLI (European Summer School in Logic,
Language and Information) August 13 - 17, 2018.TOPICSThe workshop invites
extended abstracts related to but not limited to the following:  - Big Data
for NLP  - Web as a corpus  - Deep learning for NLP  - Automatic fact
checking, stance detection, bias detection  - Multi-modality: combining
NLP, speech, images, and/or video  - Cross-linguality  - Language varieties
and dialect processing  - Work at the intersection of the above areas  -
Position papers discussing the impact of the above on NLP**IMPORTANT
DATES**    Abstract submission:  May 25, 2018    Author notification:  June
20, 2018    Camera-ready version: July 4th, 2018 Deadlines are 23:59
UTC-12. SUBMISSIONSExtended abstracts should present original, unpublished
research and/or implementation results. We invite extended abstracts of up
to two pages, excluding references. All submissions will be electronic and
in PDF format, sent via the EasyChair system. Submissions will be
anonymous. Information about the author(s) and other identifying
information such as obvious self-references (e.g., "We have shown in [12]")
and financial or personal acknowledgements should be omitted in the
submitted abstracts whenever feasible.Extended abstracts may contain a
clearly marked appendix and data files to support its claims. While
reviewers are urged to consult this extra material for better
comprehension, it is at their discretion whether they do so. Such extra
material should also be anonymized to the extent feasible.Papers should be
submitted through the EasyChair system at:
