Location: Ljubljana, Slovenia 
Contact Person: David Silva
Meeting Email: david at irdta.eu

Call Deadline: 01-Jun-2019 

Meeting Description:

SLSP is a yearly conference series aimed at promoting and displaying excellent
research on the wide spectrum of statistical methods that are currently in use
in computational language or speech processing. It aims at attracting
contributions from both fields. Though there exist large conferences and
workshops hosting contributions to any of these areas, SLSP is a more focused
meeting where synergies between the two domains will hopefully happen. In SLSP
2019, significant room will be reserved to young scholars at the beginning of
their career and particular focus will be put on methodology.

SLSP 2019 will take place in Ljubljana, a charming city full of art and one of
the smallest capital cities in Europe. The venue will be:

Jožef Stefan Institute
Jamova cesta 39
1000 Ljubljana
Slovenia
