Call for Chapters
HANDBOOK OF RESEARCH ON NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING AND SMART SERVICE SYSTEMS
Proposals submission deadline: September 2, 2019
Full chapters deadline: November 25, 2019
Revised chapters deadline: March 12, 2020
INTRODUCTION
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) whose purpose is to develop software applications that provide computers with the ability to understand human language. Although these software tools are currently not capable of understanding texts as humans do, companies are incorporating this type of applications for processing structured and unstructured data, generated in their businesses, social networks, or the Internet. Leading organizations (being aware of this fact) show increasing interest in developing smart solutions based on NLP to improve the experience of their users. These software tools become Smart Analytics applications, when they are enriched with machine learning algorithms and AI techniques, being capable of generating knowledge that can be crucial for decision making.
This handbook aims at discussing and addressing the main strategies to integrate NLP in the development of Smart Analytics applications. The editors will seek chapters with the latest technological innovations in the field of NLP for service enhancement. This publication is expected to give professionals the edge by providing insights on how to build NLP-based Smart Business Services, as well as motivating researchers to continue contributing to this field. Additionally, the book will explore the impact of such strategies on real-world systems in both Industry 4.0 and Big Data environments.
OBJECTIVE
This comprehensive and timely publication aims at being an essential reference source, building on the scientific literature on the field of NLP and Smart Service Systems while providing opportunities for further research in this emerging and highly dynamic field of study. Also, this book will present the resources necessary for engineers, managers, and practitioners to adopt and implement algorithms and techniques when both structured and unstructured texts are processed.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Scholars and researchers will find this handbook useful in furthering their research exposure involving Business Intelligence or Machine Learning in NLP applications. Moreover, the book will provide insights to practitioners on how to improve business competitiveness through NLP and Smart Services.
