*Description of the workshop*

Natural Language Processing (NLP) poses a significant challenge within computational linguistics due to the intricate grammatical structures, intricate morphologies, and orthographic ambiguities found in numerous languages. These diverse linguistic characteristics heighten the complexity of NLP tasks, necessitating the development of effective methodologies. We need to think about methods that can deal with the linguistic complexity. Deep learning approaches have demonstrated remarkable performance across a wide array of NLP tasks.

The Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing workshop aims to explore the recent deep learning architectures and techniques that can be used to resolve the complexity of language phenomena in different NLP applications such as machine translation, sentiment analysis, chatbots, etc.

This workshop is an opportunity for researchers and practitioners who are engaged in the development of NLP applications, to present and discuss the recent fundamental and applied research works, providing novel solutions to emerging challenges in different NLP fields.


*Topics*

The focal points of this workshop encompass, but are not restricted to, the use of deep learning on the subsequent fields:

· Pre-train or fine-tuned large language models,
