Meeting Description:

CLIB is an international conference that aims to foster the NLP community in
Bulgaria and to further the cooperation with Bulgarian researchers working in
NLP around the world through establishing a forum for sharing high-quality
scientific work in all areas of computational linguistics and NLP.

Organisers: The Department of Computational Linguistics at the Institute for
Bulgarian Language and the Institute of Information and Communication
Technologies at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS).

A special session dedicated to wordnets and ontologies will be held at CLIB
2020. It strives to bring together researchers interested in the principles,
theory, practice and applications of wordnets, ontologies, related linguistic
resources and their interoperability and seeks to establish a dedicated
community and to foster joint initiatives in this particular field.

INVITED SPEAKERS:
Prof. Galya Angelova - Institute of Information and Communication
Technologies, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences: Tag Sense Disambiguation in Large
Image Collections: Is It Possible?
Assoc. Prof. Svetla Boytcheva - Institute of Information and Communication
Technologies, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences: Clinical Natural Language
Processing in Bulgarian
Dr. Preslav Nakov - Qatar Computing Research Institute: Detecting the Fake
News at Its Source, Media Literacy, and Regulatory Compliance
The talk abstracts are available at: https://dcl.bas.bg/clib/plenary-talks/.


Call for Papers: 

CLIB covers a broad spectrum of areas related to natural language processing
and computational linguistics focused on but not limited to Bulgarian. 

TOPICS OF INTEREST: 
semantics, syntax, grammar and the lexicon;
cognitive, mathematical and computational models of language processing;
lexical semantics and ontologies;
linguistic annotation - POS tagging, syntactic and semantic parsing, etc.;
word sense disambiguation;
MWE recognition;
information extraction;
text analysis and summarisation;
NLP methods and applications (such as Machine Translation, Text-to-Speech and
Speech-to-Text Generation, eLearning, etc.);
corpus linguistics;
multilingual processing and applications, machine translation and translation
aids.

INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS:
There will be two categories of research papers: oral and poster
presentations. The submissions should be at least 4 pages and should not
exceed 8 pages of content in the adopted format, plus two extra pages for
references. All accepted papers will be included in the conference
proceedings.
Papers shall be submitted in English. On submission, please indicate whether
you submit a paper to the main conference or to the special session on
wordnets and ontologies.
As reviewing will be double blind, the submissions should be anonymised with
regard to the authors and/or their institutional affiliation and should not
contain any other author-identifying information, including self-references
revealing the author's identity. Each submission will be reviewed by at least
two anonymous reviewers.
Additional information and CLIB 2020 style guidelines are available at the
conference site: http://dcl.bas.bg/clib/instructions-for-authors/.
Shortly after the conference, the proceedings will be submitted for review to
Clarivate Analytics with a view to being indexed in Web of Science. The
proceedings from CLIB 2016 and CLIB 2018 have received positive evaluation and
have been already indexed in the citation database.
We also plan to propose a selection of papers from the conference to be
published in a special issue of the CIT Journal (http://www.cit.iit.bas.bg/),
which publishes research in the areas of artificial intelligence and
linguistic modelling, among others. The journal has a SJR (Scientific Journal
Ranking) value (SJR 2018 = 0.215, SNIP 2018 = 0.595, CiteScore 2018 = 0.84).

IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission deadline: 15 March 2020
Author notification deadline: 1 May 2020
Camera-ready PDF due: 15 May 2020
Official proceedings publication date: 1 June 2020
Conference: 8 - 9 June 2020
