Call for Papers

Topics

We welcome contributions on research, development, applications and evaluation, covering all areas of natural language processing, ranging from basic questions to practical implementations of natural language resources, components and systems.

Central theme of the 10th KONVENS is

"Semantic approaches in Natural Language Processing".

We especially encourage the submission of contributions addressing linguistic aspects of meaning. Topics of interest include deep as well as shallow approaches, and knowledge-based as well as data-driven methods for modelling and acquiring semantic information. We equally encourage submissions on the use of semantic information in applications of language technology. Submissions should describe unpublished research or innovative industrial applications.

Young researchers in particular are encouraged to present their completed work for discussion.
