Natural language processing and information systems : 21st International Conference on Applications of Natural Language to Information Systems, NLDB 2016, Salford, UK, June 22-24, 2016, Proceedings

Abstract

This volume of the lecture notes in computer science (LNCS) contains the papers presented at the 21st International Conference on application of Natural Language to Information Systems, held at MediacityUK, University of Salford on the 22-24 June 2016 (NLDB2016). Since its foundation in 1995, the NLDB conference has attracted state of the art and followed closely the developments of the application of natural language to databases and information systems in the wider meaning of the term.
The NLDB conference is now a well-established conference that is attracting participants from all over the world. The conference evolved from the early years when most of the submitted papers where in the areas of Natural Language, Databases and Information Systems to encompass more recent developments in the data and language engineering fields. The content of the current proceedings reflect these advancements. The conference is also supporting submissions on studies related to language that have not been well supported in the early years such as Arabic, Tamil and Farsi.
We received 83 papers and each paper was reviewed by at least 3 reviewers with the majority having 4 or 5 reviews. The conference co-chairs and programme committee co-chairs had a final consultation meeting to look at all the reviews and made the final decisions on the papers to be accepted. We accepted 17 papers (20.5%) as long/regular papers, 22 short papers and 13 poster presentations.
We would like to thank all the reviewers for their time, effort, and for completing their assignments on time albeit tight deadlines. Many thanks to the authors for their contributions.
