The Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research (JAIR) is pleased to
announce the launch of the Special Track on Cross-language Algorithms and
Applications. The core Artificial Intelligence technologies of speech and
natural language processing need to address the challenges of processing
multiple languages. While the first challenge of multilingualism is to
bridge the nomenclature gap for the same concepts, the next significant
challenge is to develop algorithms and applications that not only scale to
multiple languages but also leverage cross-lingual similarities for
improved natural language processing.

The goal of this special track is to serve as a home for the publication of
leading research on Cross-language Algorithms and Applications, focusing on
developing unified themes leading to the development of the science of
multi- and cross-lingualism.  Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to: efforts in the direction of multilingual transliteration;
multilingual document summarization; rapid prototyping of cross language
tools for low resource languages; and machine translation.

Articles published in the Cross-language Algorithms and Applications track
must meet the highest quality standards as measured by originality and
significance of the contribution and clarity of presentation. Papers will
be coordinated by the track editor and associate editors, and reviewed by
peer reviewers drawn from the JAIR Editorial Board and the larger
community. All articles should be submitted using the normal JAIR
submission process. Please indicate that the submission is intended for the
Special Track in the section "Special Information for editors".
