Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

PACLIC (Pacific Asia Conference on Language, Information, and Computation) is a unique conference in its inter-disciplinary and multi-lingual nature. It aims to create synergy between theoretical and computational linguists, as well as to provide a forum for exchange and sharing of ideas among scholars of the Pacific Asia region. Our vision is that the development and sharing of knowledge cannot be blocked by disciplinary and national boundaries. The strength of the Pacific Asia region lies in its multilingualism and multi-cultural heritage. Substantial contribution to human beings can be made if synergy is created across the multi-lingual and multi-cultural spectrum. The endurance and longevity of the PACLIC conferences attest to the validity of this vision.

PACLIC19, just like all previous PACLIC's, welcomes original researches in linguistic accounts and their application to and/or ramifications for language and speech processing.

Foci of these studies should be on Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, and other languages used in the Pacific-Asia region.
