Dear colleagues and friends,

We are proud to announce the 18th edition of the

International Conference onLinguistic Resources and Tools for Natural Language Processing

ConsILR-2023

that will take place between 11-13 December 2023

at Transilvania University of Brașov, Romania, and online

jointly organised with the meeting of

Romanian Academy’s Informatization Commission for the Romanian Language

and we invite you to submit papers presenting original and unpublished research, descriptions of accomplished or in-progress work in all areas of natural language processing, digital humanities,  creation of resources and instruments to process language in both textual and spoken form. We call  for contributions that range from theoretical, empirical and applied linguistics to computational models of language, research describing morphological, syntactic, semantic and discourse structures, pragmatic usage, multi-word expressions, the formation and evolution of languages, technologies to decipher and interpret old variants of languages, etc. The studies canbe related to any language, but we encourage research evidencing specific aspects ofthe Romanian language or of any of its dialects and idioms. Case studies, demos of applications and review papers are also most welcome.

The conference is addressed to computer scientists and linguists, from PhD students to senior researchers, working on all areas of language modelling and processing, including lexicographers and creators of any forms of digital resources. We expect allrange of approaches, from theoretical to symbolic, statistical and neural. Contributions may also describe new linguistic resources, such as speech and textcorpora, bi- and multi-modal corpora, dictionaries in electronic form, treebanks, language models, pre-trained deep learning models transferable to other areas, vectorial models, collections of annotated documents, etc.

As in the previous editions, the Proceedings of the Conference will be sent forindexing to Clarivate Analytics.The organisers of the event are: University Transilvania of Brașov with theDepartment of Mathematics and Informatics, University “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” of Iași with the Faculty of Computer Science, Romanian Academy with its research institutesin Iași (Computer Science and Philology) and Bucharest (Research Institute forArtificial Intelligence ”Mihai Drăgănescu”) and the Romanian Association of Computational Linguistics. The event will run under the auspices of the Academy of Technical Sciences of Romania.
