Greetings from Conference Chairs

Dear friends and colleagues, ladies and gentlemen, Many thanks to the efforts made by the organizers, paper authors, participants, all the keynote speakers, and the host university in particular, the 7th International Conference on Natural Language Processing and Knowledge Engineering, NLP-KE 2011, has been shaped greatly. Due to the strong demand from the economic globalization, the technology of Natural Language Processing has been progressed very quickly. During the first conference, NLP-KE’03, in which Professors Tsujii, Hovy, Boitet, Calzolari, Kilgariff and Mitkov, ets., participated, we recognized the importance of combining the natural language processing and knowledge engineering while during the second one, NLP-KE’05, in which Professors Nagao, Hovy, Uszcreit and others joined, we saw the greater trend in NLP-KE. In the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence held in 2006, ICAI’06, both keynote speakers, Professors Zadeh and Nagao, discussed the issues of integration of NLP and Advanced Intelligence. In recent years, more and more people felt the urgent needs for having a tight cooperation from academy and industry. Therefore, we begin to invite researchers from industry to give keynote speeches in NLP-KE’07, NLP-KE’08, NLP-KE’09 and NLP-KE’10. Leading researchers from MicroSoft, Alibaba, PtoP, Toshiba and so on are invited to give interesting and exciting speech for the conference. This year, total 225 submissions were received from 13 countries and regions. After careful reviewing, 82 papers (36.4%) were accepted as regular papers. Many authors will also be recommended to submit their revised papers to journals. Totally, there will be more than 50% to be recommended to International Journal of Advanced Intelligence (IJAI), International Journal of Computational Linguistics and Chinese Language Processing (IJCLCLP), Chinese Journal of Electronics (SCI-indexed), and China Communications (SCI-indexed). Dear friends, we would like to deliver to you once more our warm greetings and wish you a fruitful conference. Fuji Ren from the Tokushima University, Japan Yixin Zhong from Beijing Univ. of Posts & Telecom, China
