‘Language in the
Human-Machine Era’ (https://lithme.eu/) welcomes everyone
interested in the impact of new and emerging language technologies
that integrate with human senses. Whether you are a tech developer
who wants to learn more about linguistics, or a linguist who wants
to know more about tech, we want to hear from you! You can find
out more about our themes of interest from our published forecast
report (https://doi.org/10.17011/jyx/reports/20210518/1) and our
animations (https://lithme.eu/animations).
Our 4th annual conference will be held at UCLouvain (Université
catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium) on 2-3 September
2024. This year's theme is: ‘Exploring the Dark Side of Future
Language Technologies: Linguistic (In)security, Ethics, and
Privacy in the Human-Machine Era’.
The call for papers is now open, and we warmly encourage
submissions from any eligible researcher or practitioner who is
interested in exploring these timely topics. We welcome
experienced developers, but no technological expertise is
required, only an interest in exploring the possible effects of
these near-future advances in language technology.
Presentations can address any of the topics that fall within the
interests of LITHME. Selection for funded places will be made by
the conference scientific committee. The deadline for submitting
your abstract is June 8th, 2024. More details of funding
eligibility, the conference theme, and a link to the abstract
submission form are on our website:
