The Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (Poland) and the Adam Mickiewicz University Foundation organize the 10th LTC 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”. Started 27 years ago, the conference find its origin in the Language and Technology Awareness Days, a meeting organized in 1995 with the assistance of the European Commission (DG XIII), with among the key speakers: Antonio Zampolli (Italy), Dafydd Gibbon (Germany), Dan Tufiş (Romania) and Orest Kossak (Ukraina). The conference addresses to researchers, advanced and beginning students, as well as all other people interested in the new advances at the borderline between computer science, human language industries and linguistics.
CONFERENCE TOPICS LTC 2023 welcomes the submission of original unpublished papers on various aspects of Human Language Technology of both theoretical and practical importance including: * AI-oriented studies of human language competence * communicative intelligence * computational semantics * computer modeling of language competence * corpora-based methods in language engineering * electronic language resources and tools * formalization of natural languages * HLT related policies * HLT standards and best practices * HLTs as support for e-learning * HLTs as support for foreign language teaching * HLTs as support in solving Homeland Security problems (technology applications and legal aspects) * human-machine NL interfaces * knowledge representation * language-specific computational challenges for HLTs (especially for languages other than English) * legal issues connected with HLTs (problems and challenges) * Logic Programming in Natural Language Processing * methodological issues in HLT * neural networks in language engineering * NL applications in robotics * NL understanding by computers * NL user modeling * NLP methods in cyber-criminality detection and prevention * paralinguistic phenomena in Natural Language Processing * parsing and other forms of NL processing * question answering * sentiment, opinion and emotion analysis * socio-political aspects of HLTs * speech processing * system prototype presentations * technological aspects of nonverbal linguistics * text-based information retrieval and extraction * tools and methodologies for developing multilingual systems * translation enhancement tools * validation in all areas of HLTs * visionary papers in the field of HLT * WordNet-like ontologies
---PAPER SUBMISSION The conference accepts papers in English only. Papers (5 formatted pages in the conference format) are due by November 14, 2022 (midnight, any time zone) and should not disclose the author(s) in any manner. In order to facilitate submission we have decided to reduce the formatting requirements as much as possible at the submission stage. All submissions are to be made electronically via the LTC 2023 web submission system (EasyChair). Paper templates are available at http://www.ltc.amu.edu.pl (Paper Submission section).
PUBLICATION POLICY Acceptance will be based on the reviewers' assessments (blind peer review by tree experts). The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings (hard and electronic copy, with ISBN number). The abstracts of the accepted contributions will also be made available via the conference page (during its lifetime). Publication requires full electronic registration and payment of the conference fee (full registration) by at least one co-authors in the due time (dates will be presented at the conference site). One registration fee entitles publication of one paper.
Since 2005 until now, post-conference volumes with substantially extended versions of selected conference papers were published. Since 2007 these post-conference monographs were published in the Springer Verlag series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence. We intend to continue this tradition. Papers will be selected based on reviewers’ reports among the best evaluated papers of general interest with new innovative results. Preference will be given to papers providing significant content extension with respect to the paper presented at the conference. More details will be provided via the LTC23 web site.
AWARDS FOR BEST STUDENT PAPERS Special awards will be granted to the best student (status at the date of paper submission). The majoritarian student contribution to the paper must be confirmed by all paper co-authors in a written form. More details will be provided at the LTC website.
