CALL FOR PAPERS

Dear Colleagues,

The 10th Language and Technology Conference (LTC 2023), the meeting organized by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland and the Adam Mickiewicz University Foundation, will take place on April 21-23, 2023. Following the tradition of the past events, it is supported by ELRA, FlaReNet and META-NET. Since 2005 LTC is organized every two years as the “Language & Technology Conference: Human Language Technologies as a Challenge for Computer Science and Linguistics”.

Yes, we started 27 years ago! Our tradition goes back to the Language and Technology Awareness Days, the meeting organized in 1995 with the assistance of the European Commission (DG XIII). Among the key speakers at this conference were Antonio Zampolli (Italy), Dafydd Gibbon (Germany), Dan Tufiş (Romania), Orest Kossak (Ukraina). Today, we refer to this event as the first LTC. Fostering language technology and resources, as well as creating opportunities for face-to-face meetings and know-how exchange, remains an important challenge in our dynamically changing, information-saturated world.

It is our pleasure to invite you to attend this event in the beautiful and historical city of Poznań in April 2023.

Zygmunt Vetulani and Patrick Paroubek, LTC 2023 Co-chairs

PUBLICATION POLICY

Acceptance will be based on the reviewers' assessments (anonymous submission model /blind reviewing/). The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings (hard copy, with ISBN number). Publication requires full electronic registration and payment of the conference fee (full registration) by at least one of the co-authors. For the obvious reason that the conference fee must cover (in particular) the publication costs, the following rule is applied: "one registration fee entitles publication of one paper".

We intend to publish the post-conference volume with extended versions of selected papers in the Springer Verlag series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, as before.

Since 2005 until now, post-conference volumes with substantially extended versions of selected conference papers were published.

The LTC 2005 post conference selection appeared in form of Special Issue of Archives of Control Sciences (2005, Volume 15 nb. 3 and Volume 15 nb. 4).

Since 2007 the post-conference volumes with substantially extended versions of selected papers were published in the Springer Verlag series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence. We intend to continue this tradition.

The LTC 2007 post-conference volume (revised, extended papers) appeared in the Springer Verlag LNCS series (sub-series LNAI) (vol. 5603) Ed.: Zygmunt Vetulani, Hans Uszkoreit.

The LTC 2009 post-conference volume (revised, extended papers) appeared in the Springer Verlag series LNCS (sub-series LNAI) (vol. 6562), Ed.: Zygmunt Vetulani.

The LTC 2011 post-conference volume (revised, extended papers) appeared in the Springer Verlag series LNCS (sub-series LNAI) (vol. 8387), Eds.: Zygmunt Vetulani, Joseph Mariani.

The 7th LRL Workshop: Filling Language Technology Gaps for Less-Resourced-Languages (LRL 2023)

An event at: 10th Language & Technology Conference: Human Language Technologies as a Challenge for Computer Science and Linguistics
April 21-23, 2023, Poznan, Poland

https://www.ltc.amu.edu.pl/
CALL FOR PAPERS

Despite the fast and ever-advancing development of NLP technologies and tools, not all languages benefit from them equally. Most of the state-of-the-art methods and technologies were developed, experienced, and reported for a small number of well-developed and rich-resourced languages, leaving many other, less-resourced languages behind. The 7th LRL workshops cover areas of research interest in underfunded, less resourced, minority and endangered languages. Since 2009, when the this workshop was organized for the first time as a LRLs dedicated workshop, the importance and interest in LRL specific LT problems has been systematically increasing in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Caucasian countries (colleagues from this region were very active already at LTC19). The appearance at the last LRL workshops of contributions from Central Africa and Oceania proves that there is a room for further expansion of the LTC/LRL community. We intend to strengthen this tendency by proposing the 7th LRL workshop as a forum for the presentation of specific problems faced by the LRL community but also as a platform to present recent achievements on the way from the status of a Low-Resourced-Language to the position of a High-Resourced-Language.

The Fourth Workshop on Processing Emotions, Decisions and Opinions (EDO 2023)

An event at: 10th Language & Technology Conference: Human Language Technologies as a Challenge for Computer Science and Linguistics
April 21-23, 2023, Poznań, Poland

https://www.ltc.amu.edu.pl/

CALL FOR PAPERS
During recent several years Social Infrastructure has become irreversibly linked to such the Internet and its everyday manifestations, like Social Networking Services (Twitter, Facebook, etc.). Every second this new tangible information-based reality provides large amounts of data filled with 1) emotional expressions, 2) people's opinions on various topics, and 3) their reasoning revealing decision making processes. These three categories are also closely related to each other and as such should be studied together. This, as never before, provides an opportunity for development and application of natural language processing methods, in particular those regarding such topics as emotion processing, decision making and opinion mining.

We would like to host high quality papers from researchers with the common interests in knowing more about ourselves and about the world we live in by means of opinion and sentiment analysis, recommendations, Web mining, decision making, etc. We are also interested in gathering researchers working on emotions, psychology, sociology or ethics with Natural Language Processing tools.

We cordially invite experts, researchers and scholars in relevant fields to consider submission of papers and to join us in a constructive discussion on conference topics at the EDO 2023 Workshop in April 2023.

The 1st workshop on Human Language Technologies as Business Management Communication Support: Needs-Ideas-Solutions (HLT4BM 2023)

An event at: 10th Language & Technology Conference: Human Language Technologies as a Challenge for Computer Science and Linguistics
April 21-23, 2023, Poznan, Poland

https://www.ltc.amu.edu.pl/

CALL FOR PAPERS
In the world of high technologies, until recently, it seemed that globalization tendencies were the dominant trend. Globalization and present challenges of deglobalization occur to be an underestimated phenomenon. Recently, we have been observing changes in this area. In the business world, communication, both interpersonal and among institutions, has always played a key role. While the globalization model assuming unification seems to facilitate business communication, moving away from this model generates new challenges for communication technologies, among which Human Language Technologies (HLT) and AI play a special role. Regardless of which of these trends turns out to be dominant in the short and medium term, communication in a natural language will play a key role at all levels of management for a long time, including language interaction between humans and their technological environment (human-machine communication). In order to better face the globalization related challenges, a thorough analysis of practical needs is crucial.

This workshop is not limited to problems related to the use of the modern state-of-the-art business communication technologies, but welcomes discussion on vision of the future needs, emerging ideas and novel solutions involving AI-based Human Language Technologies.

It is worth to address and effectively manage these developments and changes to make resources more evenly allocated, especially to the under developed and developing parts of the globe.
