Topics
The Conference on Natural Language Processing ("Konferenz zur Verarbeitung
NatürlicherSprache", KONVENS) aims at offering a broad perspective on current
research and developments within the interdisciplinary field of natural language
processing. It provides a forum for researchers from all disciplines relevant to
this field of research to present their work.
The 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describe original and unpublished research or innovative industrial applications.
Young researchers in particular are encouraged to present their completed work
for discussion.
Invited Speakers
Anette Frank (Universität Heidelberg)
Ed Hovy (ISI, University of Southern California)
Gerhard Weikum (Max-Plack-Institut für Informatik, Saarbrücken)

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!
You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm
Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to:
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm
For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to
donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
