About this title

Synopsis:

NLDB 2005, the 10th International Conference on Applications of Natural L- guage to Information Systems, was held on June 15-17, 2005 at the University of Alicante, Spain. Since the ?rst NLDB conference in 1995 the main goal has been to provide a forum to discuss and disseminate research on the integration of natural language resources in information system engineering. The development and convergence of computing, telecommunications and information systems has already led to a revolution in the way that we work, communicate with each other, buy goods and use services, and even in the way that weentertainandeducate ourselves.The revolutioncontinues,andoneof its results is that large volumes of information will increasingly be held in a form which is more natural for users than the data presentation formats typical of computer systems of the past. Natural language processing (NLP) is crucial in solving these problems, and language technologies will make an indispensable contribution to the success of information systems. We hope that NLDB 2005 was a modest contribution to this goal. NLDB 2005 contributed to advancing the goals and the high international standing of these conferences, largely due to its Program Committee, composed of renowned researchers in the ?eld of natural language processing and inf- mation system engineering. Papers were reviewed by three reviewers from the Program Committee. This clearly contributed to the signi?cant number of - pers submitted(95).Twenty-ninewereacceptedasregularpapers,while18were accepted as short papers.

Synopsis:

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Applications of Natural Language to Information Systems, NLDB 2005, held in Alicante, Spain in June 2005. The 29 revised full papers and 18 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 95 submissions. Among the topics addressed are SQL queries, text representation, information retrieval, text categorization, textual mining, information extraction, semantic relations, document analysis, knowledge-based information extraction, entity recognition, textual databases, machine translation, Web content filtering, text mining, lexical relations, semantic annotation, multilingual database quering, question answering, and knowledge extraction.
