It is our pleasure to present you the proceedings of the Main Conference of COLINS 2018, the second edition of the International Conference on Computational Linguistics and Intelligent Systems, held in Lviv (Ukraine) on June 25-27, 2018. The main purpose of the CoLInS conference is a discussion of the recent research results in all areas of Natural Language Processing and Intelligent Systems Development.
The conference is soliciting literature review, survey and research papers comments including, whilst not limited to, the following areas of interest: mathematical models of language; machine learning; discourse analysis; segmentation, tagging, and parsing; speech recognition; sentiment analysis and opinion mining; text categorization and topic modeling; text mining; information retrieval; artificial intelligence; information extraction; statistical language analysis; text summarization; data mining and data analysis; computer lexicography; social network analysis; question answering systems; web and social media; NLP applications; machine translation; intelligent text processing systems; memory systems and computer-aided translation tools; computer-aided language learning; corpus linguistics.
The conference took the form of oral presentation by invited keynote speakers plus presentations of peer-reviewed individual papers. There was also an exhibition area for poster and demo sessions. A Student section of the conference for students and PhD students run in parallel to the main conference.
This year Organizing Committee received 33 submissions, out of which 9 were accepted for presentation as a regular papers. The papers are submitted to the following tracks: discourse analysis (1 paper), data mining and data analysis (1 paper), web and social media (2 papers), segmentation, tagging, and parsing (1 papers), text categorization and topic modeling (1 paper), statistical language analysis (2 papers), text mining (1 paper), information retrieval (2 papers), artificial intelligence (1 papers), Natural Language Processing (1 papers), NLP applications (1 paper), corpus linguistics (2 papers), sentiment analysis and opinion mining (1 paper), computational lexicography (2 papers), automatic ontology building (1 paper), morphological analysis (1 paper), content analysis (2 papers), intelligent text processing systems (2 papers), intelligent computer systems building (2 papers) and problem of classification (1 papers).
