Preface
Welcometotheproceedingsofthe15thChinaNationalConferenceonComputational
Linguistics (15thCCL) andtheFourth InternationalSymposiumonNaturalLanguage
ProcessingBasedonNaturallyAnnotatedBigData(4thNLP-NABD).Theconference
and symposium were hosted by Ludong University located in Yantai City, Shandong
Province, China.
CCL is an annual conference (bi-annual before 2013) that started in 1991. It is the
flagship conference of the Chinese Information Processing Society of China (CIPS),
which is the largest NLP scholar and expert community in China. CCL is a premier
nationwide forum for disseminating new scholarly and technological work in com-
putational linguistics,withamajoremphasisoncomputerprocessingofthelanguages
in China such as Mandarin, Tibetan, Mongolian, and Uyghur.
Affiliated with the 15th CCL, the Fourth International Symposium on Natural
Language Processing Based on Naturally Annotated Big Data (NLP-NABD) covered
all the NLP topics, with particular focus on methodologies and techniques relating to
naturally annotated big data. In contrast to manually annotated data such as treebanks
that are constructed for specific NLP tasks, naturally annotated data come into exis-
tence through users’ normal activities, such as writing, conversation, and interactions
on the Web. Although the original purposes of these data typically were unrelated to
NLP, they can nonetheless be purposefully exploited by computational linguists to
acquirelinguisticknowledge.Forexample,punctuationmarksinChinesetextcanhelp
word boundaries identification, social tags in social media can provide signals for
keyword extraction, and categories listed in Wikipedia can benefit text classification.
Thenaturalannotationcanbeexplicit, asintheaforementioned examples,orimplicit,
as in Hearst patterns (e.g., “Beijing and other cities” implies “Beijing is a city”). This
symposium focuses on numerous research challenges ranging from very large scale
unsupervised/semi-supervised machine leaning (deep learning, for instance) of natu-
rallyannotatedbigdatatointegrationofthelearnedresourcesandmodelswithexisting
handcrafted “core” resources and “core” language computing models. NLP-NABD
2016wassupportedbytheNationalKeyBasicResearchProgramofChina(i.e.,“973”
Program) “Theory and Methods for Cyber-Physical-Human Space-Oriented Web
Chinese Information Processing” under grant no. 2014CB340500 and the Major Pro-
ject of the National Social Science Foundation of China under grant no. 13&ZD190.
The Program Committee selected 101 papers (64 Chinese papers and 37 English
papers)outof307submissionsfromChina,HongKong(region),Singapore,andUSA
for publication. The total accepted rate is 32.9 %. The 37 English papers cover the
following topics:
– Semantics (3)
– Machine translation (5)
– Multilinguality in NLP (6)
– Knowledge graph and information extraction (5)
VI Preface
– Linguistic resource annotation and evaluation (2)
– Information retrieval and question answering (2)
– Text classification and summarization (5)
– Social computing and sentiment analysis (5)
– NLP applications (4)
The finalprogramfor the15th CCL andthefourth NLP-NABDwas theresult ofa
great deal of work by many dedicated colleagues. We want to thank, first of all, the
authors who submitted their papers, and thus contributed to the creation of the
high-quality program that allowed us to look forward to an exciting joint conference.
We are deeply indebted to all the Program Committee members for providing
high-qualityandinsightfulreviewsunderatightschedule.Weareextremelygratefulto
the sponsors of the conference. Finally, we extend a special word of thanks to all the
colleagues of the Organizing Committee and secretariat for their hard work in orga-
nizingtheconference,andtoSpringerfortheirassistanceinpublishingtheproceedings
in due time.
We thank the Program and Organizing Committees for helping to make the con-
ference successful, and we hope all the participants enjoyed a remarkable visit to
Yantai, a historical and beautiful seaside city in East China.
