Preface
Welcometotheproceedingsofthe16thChinaNationalConferenceonComputational
Linguistics (16th CCL) and the 5th International Symposium on Natural Language
ProcessingBasedonNaturallyAnnotatedBigData(5thNLP-NABD).Theconference
and symposium were hosted by Nanjing Normal University located in Nanjing City,
Jiangsu 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
nation-wide forum for disseminating new scholarly and technological work in com-
putational linguistics,withamajoremphasisoncomputerprocessingofthelanguages
in China such as Mandarin, Tibetan, Mongolian, and Uyghur.
Affiliatedwiththe16thCCL,the5thInternationalSymposiumonNaturalLanguage
ProcessingBasedonNaturallyAnnotatedBigData(NLP-NABD)coveredalltheNLP
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 existence
throughusers’normalactivities, such aswriting, conversation, and interactions onthe
Web. Although the original purposes of these data typically were unrelated to NLP,
they can nonetheless be purposefully exploited by computational linguists to acquire
linguistic knowledge. For example, punctuation marks in Chinese text can help word
boundaries identification, social tags in social media can provide signals for keyword
extraction,andcategorieslistedinWikipediacanbenefittextclassification.Thenatural
annotationcanbeexplicit,asintheaforementionedexamples,orimplicit,asinHearst
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 naturally annotated
big data to integration of the learned resources and models with existing handcrafted
“core” resources and “core” language computing models. NLP-NABD 2017 was
supportedbytheNationalKeyBasicResearchProgramofChina(i.e.,“973”Program)
“Theory and Methods for Cyber-Physical-Human Space Oriented Web Chinese
Information Processing” under grant no. 2014CB340500 and the Major Project of the
National Social Science Foundation of China under grant no. 13&ZD190.
The Program Committee selected 108 papers (69 Chinese papers and 39 English
papers) out of 272 submissions from China, Hong Kong (region), Singapore, and the
USA for publication. The acceptance rate is 39.7%. The 39 English papers cover the
following topics:
– Fundamental Theory and Methods of Computational Linguistics (6)
– Machine Translation (2)
– Knowledge Graph and Information Extraction (9)
– Language Resource and Evaluation (3)
VI Preface
– Information Retrieval and Question Answering (6)
– Text Classification and Summarization (4)
– Social Computing and Sentiment Analysis (1)
– NLP Applications (4)
– Minority Language Information Processing (4)
The final program for the 16th CCL and the 5th NLP-NABD was the result of a
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 memorable visit to
Nanjing, a historical and beautiful city in East China.
