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 11th KONVENS is

Empirical methods in natural language processing.

We especially encourage the submission of contributions proposing new methods for learning from substantial amounts of natural language (including speech) data, be they annotated or un-annotated, as well contributions relating to evaluation of such methods. Submissions should describe unpublished research or innovative industrial applications.

The conference language is English. We welcome international submissions. In particular, young researchers are encouraged to present their completed work for discussion.
