For the first time, the ARIA (French Association for Information 
Retrieval and Applications) and ATALA (Association for the Natural 
Language Processing) jointly organize their main conference to bring 
together in one place the two communities of Information Retrieval and 
Natural Language Processing.

Organized by IRISA (UMR 6074) and the Inria Bretagne-Atlantique Center, 
this edition will take place from 14 to 18 May 2018 in Rennes and will 
include:

- The 15^th Conference on Information Retrieval and Applications (CORIA);

- The 25^th Conference on the Automatic Natural Language Processing (TALN);

- a meeting for young researchers (RJC) common to the two communities 
corresponding to the 13^th edition of the Meeting of Young Researchers 
in Information Retrieval (RJCRI) and to the 20^th edition of the Student 
Researchers Meeting in Computer Science for NLP (RECITAL);

- The innovation fair in language and information technologies.

Call for papers -  CORIA

-----------------------------

CORIA aims to bring together teams and researchers carrying out 
scientific work in the field of information retrieval:

  * Search for information on the web, on social networks, on specific
    collections,
  * Recommender systems,
  * Information extraction from multimedia documents,
  * Opinion analysis, in monolingual or multilingual contexts,
  * Search for digital documents, images, videos,
  * Automatic learning and classification for information retrieval,
  * Human-machine interfaces for information access,
  * Evaluation of models,
  * Creation of test collections, etc.

Scientific and technological activity in information retrieval is 
undergoing a strong evolution following the development of web 2.0, 
mobile computing and advances in related fields such as machine learning 
(with deep learning) and search for data, linguistics (semantics and 
speech analysis) or databases (big data and NoSQL databases). Thus, the 
boundaries of the field are themselves changing and promote synergies 
with work in machine learning, automatic language processing, image 
processing, speech processing, written communication and documents, 
information systems and databases, representation and knowledge 
management ...

The fields of application are varied: search for medical information, 
economic intelligence, recommendation of items, search for geographical 
information, search for legal information, verification of facts; as 
well as in the media: blogs, microblogs, images, 3D, news, music, 
speech, and video.

*CORIA*is open to the entire scientific community concerned with the 
search for information from the theoretical point of view as well as 
from the point of view of applications.

The target audience for CORIA 2018 is academics and researchers, 
including masters and doctoral students, industrialists and specialists 
in the field.

Although CORIA is a Francophone community conference, it accepts 
articles in French and English.


    Themes:

The articles will focus on *the following topics* (not exhaustive):

  * Research models: logical, probabilistic, language models, model
    fusion, scheduling models, graph-based models,
  * Machine learning for IR: deep learning, classification, data sciences,
  * Information representation: indexing, word embedding, representation
    of entities and entity linking, heterogeneous information, multimedia,
  * Understanding of queries: search intent, query suggestion, query
    variation, query difficulty prediction, adaptation to queries,
  * User interaction: flexible queries, interfaces, visualization, user
    and context modeling, activity modeling, accessibility, interactive
    information retrieval,
  * Contextual IR: personalization, collaborative information retrieval,
    question / answering systems, IR in the mobile environment,
  * Automatic natural language processing for information retrieval,
    automatic summarization, ontologies, named entity detection and
    relationships, semantic web, data web
  * Multilingual IR: multilingual information retrieval, machine translation
  * Scalability: architectures, performance, compression
  * Web analytics: big graphs, use of the topology of the web, power
    laws, link analysis
  * Social networks: analysis of networks, opinions, dissemination of
    information, activity prediction, event detection
  * Filtering and recommendation: bandit algorithms, reinforcement learning
  * Multimedia (images, audio, videos, sound, music): indexing,
    navigation, access...
  * Dedicated information retrieval systems: search for genomic,
    geographical, medical information, search for patents, products,
    experts, in digital libraries
  * Evaluation: evaluation of information retrieval and other associated
    tasks, test beds, metrics, qualitative experiments, shared resources

Submissions should be submitted via 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coria2018and must follow the 
Hermes review format (https://isi.revuesonline.com/appel.jsp). Each 
paper will be reviewed by at least 3 reviewers from the CORIA2018 PC.

best regards
