CfP special issue of Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence on "Mathematical Theories of Natural Language Processing", Deadline: 31 Jul 2014

Call for Papers Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence special 
issue on: Mathematical Theories of Natural Language Processing

Since the 1990s, the practice of natural language processing (NLP) has 
gradually shifted from logic-based symbol manipulation systems first to 
purely statistical, and more recently to hybrid systems that combine 
structural and statistical methods. The mathematical theory of hybrid NLP 
is still not fully mature, and the special issue will lend focus to this 
expanding research area by including papers from mathematicians, computer 
scientists, theoretical and computational linguists and AI researchers 
with an interest in its foundations.

Subjects suitable for the special issue include, but are not limited to, 
NLP-related advances in

· inductive learning
· spectral techniques
· formal grammars
· commonsense reasoning
· low-pass semantics
· sparse models
· LSTM, deep learning
· compressed sensing
· cvs/distributional theories

Papers which were presented in January 2014 at the ISAIM special session 
on this topic are especially invited for submission, but other submissions 
not associated with ISAIM will be given equal consideration for 
publication. All papers will go through the standard refereeing process of 
the journal. The submission deadline is July 31 , 2014 . Papers should be 
submitted through the Springer website for the journal
