Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Ling & Literature 

Call Deadline: 21-Apr-2017 

Meeting Description:

LaTeCH-CLfL 2017 will put in the same room two events with a similar research
focus and with some tradition: the SIGHUM Workshops on Language Technology for
Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and Humanities (LaTeCH,
https://sighum.wordpress.com/events/latech-2016/) and the ACL Workshops on
Computational Linguistics for Literature (CLfL,
https://sites.google.com/site/clfl2016/).

The LaTeCH workshop series has become a forum for researchers who develop new
technologies for improved information access to data from the broadly
understood humanities and social sciences. Since the formation of SIGHUM (ACL
Special Interest Group on Language Technologies for the Socio-Economic
Sciences and Humanities), the LaTeCH workshop has also been the venue for the
SIGHUM annual research and business meeting. The CLfL workshops have focussed
on applications of NLP to a wide variety of literary data. This joint event
will bring together researchers from both research communities. We hope to
broaden the scope, stimulate more collaboration and open new research
perspectives.

Invited Speaker:

LaTeCH-CLfL 2017 will feature an invited talk by Andrew Piper about
Characterisation in literary texts.


2nd Call for Papers:

The Joint SIGHUM Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Cultural Heritage,
Social Sciences, Humanities and Literature (LaTeCH-CLfL) will be held in
conjunction with ACL 2017 in Vancouver, Canada, on August 3 or 4, 2017.
