<p>Dear colleagues,</p>
<p>We have extended the submission deadline for IWCLUL 2020 (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://iwclul.univie.ac.at/">iwclul.univie.ac.at/</a>) to
25 November, i.e. a week from today. More information on the
submission procedure can be found on our website.<br>
</p>
<p>All the best,<br>
Jeremy Bradley</p>

<p>The purpose of the conference series International Workshop on
Computational Linguistics for Uralic Languages is to bring
together researchers working on computational approaches to
working with these languages. We accept long and short papers as
well as tutorial proposals working on the following languages:
Finnish, Hungarian, Estonian, Võro, the Sámi languages, Komi
(Zyrian, Permyak), Mordvin (Erzya, Moksha), Mari (Hill, Meadow),
Udmurt, Nenets (Tundra, Forest), Enets, Nganasan, Selkup, Mansi,
Khanty, Veps, Karelian (Olonets), Karelian, Ingrian (Izhorian),
Votic, Livonian, Ludic, and other related languages. All Uralic
languages exhibit rich morphological structure, which makes
processing them challenging for state-of-the-art computational
linguistic approaches, the majority also suffer from a lack of
resources and many are endangered. Research papers should be
original, substantial and unpublished research, that can describe
work-in-progress systems, frameworks, standards and evaluation
schemes. Demos and tutorials will present systems and standards
towards the goal of interoperability and unification of different
projects, applications and research groups Appropriate topics
include (but are not limited to):</p>
<ul class="gray-bg">
<li>Parsers, analysers and processing pipelines of Uralic
languages </li>
<li>Lexical databases, electronic dictionaries </li>
<li>Finished end-user applications aimed at Uralic languages, such
as spelling or grammar checkers, machine translation or speech
processing </li>
<li>Evaluation methods and gold standards, tagged corpora,
treebanks </li>
<li>Reports on language-independent or unsupervised methods as
applied to Uralic languages </li>
<li>Surveys and review articles on subjects related to
computational linguistics for one or more Uralic languages </li>
<li>Any work that aims at combining efforts and reducing
duplication of work </li>
<li>How to elicit activity from the language community, agitation
campaigns, games with a purpose </li>
</ul>
<p>To maximise the possibility of reproducibility, replication and
reuse, we particularly encourage submissions which present
free/open-source language resources and make use of
free/open-source software. One of the aims of this gathering is to
avoid unnecessary duplicated work in field of Uralistics by
establishing connections and interoperability standards between
researchers and research groups working at different sites. We
have also identified a serious lack of gold standards and
evaluation metrics for all Uralic languages including those with
national support, any work towards better resources in these
fields will be greatly appreciated.</p>
