In particular, the track welcomes contributions combining and complementing methods and approaches from both areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Natural Language Processing NLP tasks for Knowledge Extraction NLP for Ontology Population and Learning Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining for Knowledge Applications Interplay between Language and Ontologies NLP for Explainable Knowledge Machine Translation techniques for Multi-lingual Knowledge NLP for the Web (Large) Language Models and Knowledge - Knowledge Knowledge to improve NLP tasks Knowledge for Information Retrieval Knowledge-based Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining Combining Knowledge and Deep Learning for NLP Knowledge for Text Summarization and Generation Knowledge for Persuasion Knowledge-based Machine Translation Knowledge for the Web Linked Data for NLP Knowledge-based NL Explainability RAG and Knowledge injection for Language Models - Applications Real-world applications that exploit Knowledge and NLP Knowledge and NLP Systems for Big Data scenarios Knowledge and NLP technology for diverse, equitable, and inclusive society Deployment of Knowledge and NLP Systems in specific domains, such as: Digital Humanities and Social Sciences eGovernment and public administration Life sciences, health and medicine News and Data Streaming ***************************************** Paper Submission Research papers and experience reports related to the above topics are solicited. Submissions must not have been published or be concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. Papers should be submitted in PDF using the ACM-SAC proceedings format using the submission link on the SAC 2025 website (https://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2025/). Authors' names and affiliations should be entered separately at the submission site and not appear in the submitted papers. Each submission will be reviewed in a DOUBLE-BLIND process according to the ACM-SAC Regulations. Student Research Competition (SRC) submissions are welcome (see SAC 2025 website for details). Full papers are limited to 8 pages, in camera-ready format, included in the registration fee. Authors have the option to include up to two (2) extra pages (paying an extra charge). Posters are limited to 2 pages, in camera-ready format, included in the registration fee. Authors have the option to include only one (1) extra page (paying an extra charge). SRC Abstracts are limited to 3 pages, in camera-ready format, included in the registration fee. No extra pages are allowed. Paper selection is based on originality, technical contribution, presentation quality, and relevance to the Knowledge and Natural Language Processing Track. Some papers may be accepted as posters. Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper. This is a requirement for the paper/poster to be included in the ACM digital library. No-show of registered papers and posters will result in excluding them from the ACM digital library. ***************************************** Track Co-Chairs Patrizio Bellan, Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) Marco Bombieri, Università degli Studi di Verona Mauro Dragoni, Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) Marco Rospocher, Università degli Studi di Verona ***************************************** Programme Committee TBA ***************************************** General Inquiries For further information, please visit SAC Knowledge and Natural Language Processing Track (https://knlp-sac.github.io/2025/) and SAC 2024 conference websites (https://www.sigapp.org/sac/sac2025/) or feel free to contact the Track Co-Chairs at knlp(a)fbk.eu . -- -- Le informazioni contenute nella presente comunicazione sono di natura privata e come tali sono da considerarsi riservate ed indirizzate esclusivamente ai destinatari indicati e per le finalità strettamente legate al relativo contenuto.

***Apologies for possible cross-posting *** The two major conferences in the Baltic and Nordic regions, NoDaLida, organized by The Northern European Association for Language Technology (NEALT) and Baltic HLT are joining forces to organize NoDaLiDa/Baltic-HLT 2025 – The Joint 25th Nordic Conference on Computational Linguistics and 11th Baltic Conference on Human Language Technologies, to be held in Tallinn, Estonia, on March 2–5, 2025. We would like to invite proposals for workshops, to be held on Sunday, March 2, immediately before the main conference, or on Wednesday, March 5, immediately after the main conference. Workshops can be scheduled either for a full day (morning and afternoon) or for half a day. The main conference will be held on-site only, without an online option, in order to facilitate networking. Workshops are free to offer online presentations if they wish to do so. NoDaLiDa/Baltic-HLT addresses all aspects of natural language processing, speech processing, and computational linguistics, including work in closely related neighboring disciplines (such as, for example, machine learning, linguistics, digital humanities, or psychology) that is sufficiently formalized or applied to bear relevance to speech and language technologies. Workshop proposals can be submitted in free-text form as a pdf file, by email to ‘nodalida_baltichlt_2025-workshops(a)googlegroups.com<mailto:nodalida_baltichlt_2025-workshops@googlegroups.com>’. Workshop proposals must include adequate information on at least the following aspects: - proposed workshop title - topic and goals of the workshop - target group and estimated attendance - workshop organizer(s) and contact(s) - mode of organization and program design, including: - information on full versus half-day workshop - information on the preference of workshop day: March 2, March 5, or either - information on whether you plan an on-site only or hybrid event SCHEDULE * Monday, August 26, 2024: Submission of workshop proposals * Tuesday, September 10, 2024: Notification of workshop selection * Monday, December 16, 2024: Recommended workshop paper submission deadline * Monday, February 3, 2025: Camera-ready workshop papers due * Sunday, March 2, 2025: Pre-conference workshops * Sunday, March 5, 2025: Post-conference workshops Organizers of accepted proposals will be responsible for publicizing and running the workshop, including sending out calls for papers, reviewing submissions, producing the camera-ready workshop proceedings, and organizing the meeting day. SELECTION The assessment and selection of workshop proposals will be made by the NoDaLiDa/Baltic-HLT 2025 Workshop Chairs: * Normunds Grūzītis, University of Latvia, Latvia * Samia Touileb, University of Bergen, Norway To inquire about the workshop submission process or any practical aspect of the organization of workshops, please email ‘nodalida_baltichlt_2025-workshops(a)googlegroups.com<mailto:nodalida_baltichlt_2025-workshops@googlegroups.com>’. For any question about the conference in general, please email ‘nodalida_baltichlt_2025-pc(a)googlegroups.com<mailto:nodalida_baltichlt_2025-pc@googlegroups.com>’ and for any general practical inquiries, please email ‘nodalida_baltichlt_2025-loc(a)eki.ee<mailto:nodalida_baltichlt_2025-loc@eki.ee>’.
