Main conference: October 8 - 10, 2014
Workshops:       October 6 - 7, 2014

Venue: Hildesheim, Germany

The 12th edition of KONVENS, the bi-annual conference sponsored by the 
German Society for Computational Linguistics (GSCL), the special 
interest group on computational linguistics within the German 
Linguistics Society (DGfS-CL), and the Austrian Society for Artificial 
Intelligence (ÖGAI), will take place in Hildesheim, Germany, on October 
8-10, 2014. The Conference on Natural Language Processing ("Konferenz 
zur Verarbeitung Natürlicher Sprache", KONVENS) seeks to offer a broad 
perspective on current research and developments within the 
interdisciplinary field of Natural Language Processing. It provides a 
forum for researchers from all disciplines relevant to this field of 
research to present their work.

**SCOPE**

The overall theme of the 2014 conference will be

"Information science and language technology: interaction - co-operation 
- synergies"

which reflects the interests of the host institution in exploring 
connections between information science and computational 
linguistics/Natural Language Processing. Specific topics that we invite 
contributions on:

   - Analysis of subjective language (Opinion Mining / Sentiment Analysis),
   - Information Retrieval and Information Extraction,
   - Methods and resources for evaluating IR/IE,
   - NLP for User-Generated Content,
   - Usability and user interaction with language tools.

Besides the above topics, we also invite contributions in the area of 
computational linguistics that are unrelated to the above themes.

In terms of presentation formats, the conference will feature regular 
research papers (full papers) as well as posters and system 
demonstrations (short papers). Besides the foregoing formats for 
unpublished research, we also accept nectar track papers, i.e. we have a 
track giving top-researchers the opportunity to present a summary of 
their most significant results from the last two years to the community.

KONVENS 2014 is organized by the Institute for Information Science and 
Natural Language Processing at Hildesheim University. The area of 
opinion mining / sentiment analysis is organized in collaboration with 
the PATHOS series of workshops. The conference is aimed at an 
international audience. Conference languages are English and German.
