TALIP Editorial Charter

The ACM Transactions on Asian Language Information Processing (TALIP) publishes high quality original archival papers and technical notes in the areas of computation and processing of information in Asian languages and related disciplines. Formally, but not exclusively, the subjects to be covered by TALIP are:

• Computational Linguistic: including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, etc. (From the view points of information processing and/or computation.)
  
• Linguistic Resource: including computational lexicography, terminology, electronic dictionary, cross-lingual dictionary, electronic thesaurus, etc.
  
• Hardware and software algorithms and tools for Asian language processing, e.g., handwritten character recognition.
  
• Information Understanding: including text understanding, speech understanding, character recognition, discourse processing, dialogue systems, etc.
  
• Machine Translation: including cross-language translation, text-to-speech/speech-to-text synthesis, image-to-text translation, etc.
  
• Information Retrieval: including natural language processing (NLP) for concept-based indexing, natural language query interface, semantic-based relevance judgment, etc.
  
• Information Extraction and Filtering: including automatic abstraction, user profiling, etc.
  
• Multimedia Asian Information Processing: including speech, image, video, etc.
  
• Cross-lingual information processing between Asian and Western natural language pairs (e.g., Chinese/English).

In general, TALIP broadly covers issues in NLP for Asian Languages. Aspects concerning theory, systems design, evaluation and applications in the aforesaid subjects will be covered. Emphasis will be placed on the originality and the practical significance of the reported research. Papers related to Western language information processing techniques and theory will also be considered if the ideas are shown to be equally applicable to Asian languages.
