Preface
Welcometotheproceedingsofthe14thChinaNationalConferenceonComputational
Linguistics (14th CCL) and the Third International Symposium on Natural Language
ProcessingBasedonNaturallyAnnotatedBigData(3rdNLP-NABD).Theconference
was hosted by Guangdong University of Foreign Studies.
CCL is an annual conference (bi-annual before 2013) that started in 1991. It is the
flagshipconferenceoftheChineseInformationProcessingSociety(CIPS),whichisthe
largest NLP scholar and expert community in China. CCL is a premier nation-wide
forum for disseminating new scholarly and technological work in computational lin-
guistics,withamajoremphasisoncomputerprocessingofthelanguagesinChinasuch
as Mandarin, Tibetan, Mongolian, and Uyghur.
Affiliated with the 14th CCL, the Third International Symposium on Natural Lan-
guage Processing Based on Naturally Annotated Big Data (NLP-NABD) covered all
the NLP 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 exis-
tence through users’ normal activities, such as writing, conversation, and interactions
on the Web. Although the original purposes of these data typically were unrelated to
NLP, they can nonetheless be purposefully exploited by computational linguists to
acquirelinguisticknowledge.Forexample,punctuationmarksinChinesetextcanhelp
word boundaries identification, social tags in social media can provide signals for
keyword extraction, and categories listed in Wikipedia can benefit text classification.
Thenaturalannotationcanbeexplicit, asintheaforementioned examples,orimplicit,
as in Hearst 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 natu-
rallyannotatedbigdatatointegrationofthelearnedresourcesandmodelswithexisting
handcrafted “core” resources and “core” language computing models. NLP-NABD
2015wassupportedbytheNationalKeyBasicResearchProgramofChina(i.e.,“973”
Program) “Theory and Methods for Cyber-Physical-Human Space-Oriented Web
Chinese Information Processing” under grant no. 2014CB340500.
The Program Committee selected 115 papers (81 Chinese papers and 34 English
papers) out of 283 submissions from China, Hong Kong (region), Singapore, and the
USA for publication. The 34 English papers cover the following topics:
– Lexical semantics and ontologies (4)
– Semantics (4)
– Sentiment analysis, opinion mining and text classification (2)
– Machine translation (3)
– Multilinguality in NLP (4)
– Machine learning method for NLP (3)
– Knowledge graph and information extraction (3)

– Discourse, coreference, and pragmatics (1)
– Information retrieval and question answering (3)
– Social computing (2)
– NLP applications (5)
The final program for the 14th CCL and the Third 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.
WethanktheProgramandOrganizingCommitteesforhelpingmaketheconference
successful and we hope the participants enjoy a memorable visit to Guangzhou.
