EACL 2014
The 14th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
Gothenburg, Sweden
26–30 April 2014
http://eacl2014.org/


The 14th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics covers research in all aspects of automated natural language processing, including but not limited to the following areas: 

- computational and cognitive models of language acquisition and language processing 
- information retrieval and question answering
- generation and summarization
- language resources and evaluation
- machine learning methods and algorithms for natural language processing
- machine translation and multilingual systems
- phonetics, phonology, morphology, word segmentation, tagging, and chunking
- pragmatics, discourse, and dialogue
- semantics, textual entailment
- social media, sentiment analysis and opinion mining
- spoken language processing and language modeling
- syntax, parsing, grammar formalisms, and grammar induction
- text mining and natural language processing applications

Apart from regular paper sessions and poster sessions, EACL 2014 will contain workshops, tutorials, invited speakers and several social events.
