About the Conference

The International Conference on Asian Language Processing (IALP) serves as the premier conference of the Chinese and Oriental Languages Information Processing Society (COLIPS), distinguished by its dedicated emphasis on the study of Asian language processing. As a series of conferences, IALP aims to foster the advancement of science and technology in all facets of Asian language processing. It provides a collaborative platform for researchers across diverse linguistic disciplines to convene, share insights, and explore the latest developments in the field.

IALP 2025 will be jointly organized by Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS), and Chinese and Oriental Languages Information Processing Society (COLIPS), Singapore.

Paper submission

Authors are invited to submit full papers under the topics of conference. Submissions must describe substantial, original, completed, and unpublished work. Each submission will be reviewed by three program committee members.

As the review process will be blind, manuscripts must not include the authors’ names or affiliations. Authors should ensure that their identities are not revealed in any way within the paper, including through self-references that could disclose their identity. All submissions must be electronic and in Portable Document Format (PDF) only. Paper submissions should follow the IEEE Proceedings’ two-column format and must not exceed six (6) pages, including references. The official language of the conference is English, and all submitted papers must be written in English.
