Meeting Description:

The Sixth CLIB Conference will be held on 9 – 10 September 2024 in
Sofia, Bulgaria.

CLIB is an international conference that aims at exploring novel
approaches and methods in computational linguistics and natural
language processing (NLP) especially with a view to their application
to small and less-resourced languages such as Bulgarian, and the
bridging of the discrepancies between big and small languages with
respect to language technologies. The Conference is dedicated to
fostering the NLP community and furthering the cooperation between
Bulgarian and foreign researchers and teams around the world through
sharing high-quality scientific results in all areas of computational
linguistics and NLP.

A special session dedicated to wordnets, framenets and ontologies will
be held at CLIB 2024. This will be its third edition after a
successful start of a special session on wordnets and ontologies at
CLIB 2018. The Special Session brings together researchers interested
in the principles, theory, practice and applications of wordnets,
framenets and ontologies, related linguistic resources and their
interoperability and seeks to establish a dedicated community and to
foster joint initiatives in this particular field.

PROVISIONAL ABSTRACT SUBMISSION: Please bear in mind that in order to
streamline the reviewing procedure, we would like authors to submit a
provisional title along with a brief abstract (approx. 150 words) by
15 March 2024 in pdf format. Abstract should be anonymous. Abstract
submission must be made via the  CLIB 2024 login page.

Call for Papers:

CLIB will cover a broad spectrum of areas related to natural language
processing, with a focus on (but not limited to) Bulgarian.

Natural language resource design, creation and use in single or
multimodal data:

guidelines, standards, methodologies and tools for LRs construction,
annotation, and acquisition
corpora, treebanks
semantic nets, wordnets, framenets
оntologies, terminology and knowledge representation
language resources and Semantic Web
language resources in various fields of application
LRs in the age of deep neural networks

architectures


PAPER TYPES AND FORMAT

Long papers must describe substantial, original, completed, and
unpublished work. Where appropriate, authors should include concrete
evaluation and analysis, analysis of the impact of theories on
technologies, and/or contributions of technologies to the advancement
of theory. Long papers may consist of up to eight (8) pages of
content, plus unlimited pages of references and appendices in the
accepted format. Final versions will be given one additional page of
content (up to nine (9) pages), so that reviewers’ comments can be
taken into account.

Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished work
dealing with a small, focused contribution. Short papers may consist
of up to four (4) pages of content, plus unlimited pages of references
and appendices. Final versions of short papers will be given one
additional page of content (up to five (5) pages), so that reviewers’
comments can be taken into account.

CLIB 2024 also solicits submissions presenting project reports, new
data resources, system demonstrations, position papers.


SPECIAL SESSION ON WORDNETS, FRAMENETS AND ONTOLOGIES

A Special Session on Wordnets, Framenets and Ontologies will take
place at CLIB 2024. The Special Session aims at bringing 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.

All accepted papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings.
