New Technologies and Applications of Natural Language Processing (NLP), 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Chat GPT and large language models in general have drawn huge attention recently, making natural language processing (NLP) the center of focus in artificial intelligence. At the same time, the expectations of AI as a relatively general aid for people in different tasks have grown considerably.

This Special Issue will publish high-quality, original research papers on various NLP tasks, including, but not limited to, dialogue systems, text summarization, question answering, sentiment analysis, event detection, language generation, language reasoning, and applications of large language models in all possible application areas.

We especially encourage submissions that consider the opportunities and challenges arising from recent trends in NLP research, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Combining large language models and algorithms or rule-based systems;
• Tuning large language models for different applications;
• Multilingual NLP;
• Multimodal NLP;
• Ethics of NLP.
