*SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS*
The European Language Resources Association (ELRA) is glad to announce
the 13th edition of LREC, organised with the support of national and
international organisations. We hope to be able to organise a
face-to-face conference, otherwise an online or hybrid alternative will
be set up.
*CONFERENCE AIMS*
LREC is the major event on Language Resources (LRs) and Evaluation for
Language Technologies (LT). LREC aims to provide an overview of the
state-of-the-art, explore new R&D directions and emerging trends,
exchange information regarding LRs and their applications, evaluation
methodologies and tools, on-going and planned activities, industrial
uses and needs, requirements coming from e-science and e-society, with
respect to both scientific/technological issues as well as policy and
organisational ones.
LREC provides a unique forum for researchers, industrials and funding
agencies from across a wide spectrum of areas to discuss issues and
opportunities, find new synergies and promote initiatives for
international cooperation, in support of investigations in language
sciences, progress in language technologies and development of
corresponding products, services and applications, and standards.
*TRACKS FOR SUBMISSION*
LREC 2022 invites the submission of papers on original and unpublished
research covering all aspects of LRs & Evaluation of LTs, within natural
language processing and computational linguistics. The following (in
alphabetical order) are the relevant tracks for the conference:
- Applications involving LRs and Evaluation (including applications in
specific domains)
- Corpora and Annotation (including Tools, Systems, Treebanks)
- Dialogue, Conversational Systems, Chatbots, Human-Robot Interaction

*LREC2022 HOT TOPICS*
* */Multilingualism and Language Technology for All/*
* */Language Resources for Emergency Needs/*
* */Machine Learning and Multimodality/*
*DESCRIBE AND SHARE YOUR LRs!*
In addition to describing your LRs in the LRE Map - now a normal step in
the submission procedure of many conferences - LREC recognises the
importance of sharing resources and making them available to the community.
When submitting a paper, you will be offered the possibility to share
your LRs (data, tools, web-services, etc.), uploading them in a special
LREC repository set up by ELRA. After LREC, such Language Resources will
be made available to the community within the share-LRs repository
set-up by ELRA, in compliance with the licenses indicated by
right-holders. This effort of sharing LRs, linked to the LRE Map for
their description, contributes to creating a common repository where
everyone can deposit and share data.
*PROGRAMME*
The Scientific Programme will include invited talks, oral, poster and
demo presentations in addition to a keynote address by the winner of the
Antonio Zampolli Prize.
An Industrial Track to report on state of the art within industry and
commercial achievements, for which there will be a separate Call, will
also be organized
