Call for papers for the 14th edition of
The International Conference on Linguistic Resources and Tools for
Natural Language Processing - ConsILR-2019
joined this year with
the 3rd ReTeRom Workshop
https://profs.info.uaic.ro/~consilr/
18-20 November 2019, Cluj-Napoca, Romania
We invite papers presenting original and unpublished research in all
areas related to Linguistic Resources and Tools for Natural Language
Processing. Submitted papers can include descriptions of complete, in
progress or theoretical research work; case studies, demos and review
papers are also encouraged.
We call for contributions to be presented in the main Conference that
range from theoretical and applied linguistics to computational models,
resources and technologies related to any language. Research evidencing
peculiarities of the Romanian spoken or written language per se or in
contrast with other languages or within its idioms, describing
multi-word expressions, syntactic and semantic structures, or pragmatic
usage, culture-bound or nature-related, the formation of the modern
Romanian language, etc. are encouraged.
ReTeRom is a national funded project dedicated to the development of
resources and technologies for the development of human-machine
interfaces in Romanian language. This year, the 3rd project workshop (as
a closed meeting for the project partners) will be organised together
with the ConsILR conference.
