KONVENS 2022: 1ST CALL FOR PAPERS

We cordially invite submissions of papers to KONVENS 2022 (https://konvens2022.uni-potsdam.de/), which takes place from September 12th-15th, 2022 in Potsdam.

KONVENS (Konferenz zur Verarbeitung natürlicher Sprache/Conference on Natural Language Processing) is an annual conference series on computational linguistics (biennial until 2018) that started in 1992 and that is organized under the auspices of the German Society for Computational Linguistics and Language Technology, the Special Interest Group on Computational Linguistics of the German Linguistic Society, the Austrian Society for Artificial Intelligence and SwissText.

We welcome original, unpublished contributions on research, development, applications and evaluation, covering all areas of natural language processing, ranging from basic questions to practical implementations of natural language resources, components and systems. We invite contributions from both academia and industry.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

We welcome the following two types of contributions:

Long papers (8 pages plus references), describing original research with substantial new results
Short papers (4 pages plus references), including small focused contributions, work in progress, as well as descriptions of projects, systems and resources

Both long and short papers will be presented orally or as posters as determined by the program chairs. The decisions will be based on the nature rather than the quality of the work. The conference languages are English and German. We encourage the submission of contributions in English. The review process will be double-blind. We ask authors to anonymize their submission accordingly. The conference proceedings will be published in the ACL Anthology.
