[Linganth] LDK 2021 : Final Call for Paper - Deadline extension

[Dagmar Gromann]

Last CfP — Deadline extension
==============
Call for Papers @ Third Biennial Conference on Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK2021)
Conference dates: 01 September 2021 (Workshop/Tutorials day), 02-03 September 2021 (Main Conference)
Location: Zaragoza, Spain
Website: http://2021.ldk-conf.org/ <http://2021.ldk-conf.org/>
Submission Deadline extended to: 21 March 2021
Submission page: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ldk2021# <https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ldk2021#> 
==============
In order to allow more people to attend the Conference physically, and due to the current state in the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, we decided to postpone LDK 2021 to early September. The conference will allow remote presentations by participants who cannot attend the conference in person owing to COVID-19 travelling restrictions, but we do think that physical encounter and gossip leads to better research. Note that we took the opportunity to further extend the submission deadline.

We invite submissions to the third biennial conference on Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK 2021), which will be held in Zaragoza, Spain in September 2021. This conference aims at bringing together researchers from across disciplines concerned with the acquisition, curation and use of language data in the context of data science and knowledge-based applications. This builds upon the success of the inaugural event held in Galway, Ireland in 2017 and the second LDK in Leipzig, Germany in 2019.

Paper submission

We welcome submission of relevance to the topics listed below. Submissions can be in the form of:
Long research papers: 10-15 pages;
Short research or position papers: 6-8 pages;
Short scientific abstract submissions: be 4-6 pages.
Short abstracts on new challenges and research ideas (“Crazy New Ideas”): 1-4 pages

This year, we would like to propose a “Crazy New Ideas” session that will be the occasion to present challenging research ideas that have not yet been fully explored, or you would like to see in ten years from now. Such ideas should be briefly presented in the form of a short abstract of one to four pages to initiate the discussions, which will also be included in the conference proceedings if permitted by the authors. This is your chance to be creative without censorship. Reviews for these abstract will focus on the potential of ideas to spark interesting discussions. 

All submissions lengths are given excluding a maximum of 5 pages for references and appendices. Accepted submissions will be published by OASIcs in an open-access conference proceedings volume free of charge for authors. 

The OASIcs layout templates to be used for submissions are available for download from : 
https://submission.dagstuhl.de/documentation/authors <https://submission.dagstuhl.de/documentation/authors> 
As the reviewing process is single-blind, submissions should not be anonymized.


Papers should be submitted via EasyChair at the following address:
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ldk2021# <https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ldk2021#>
For each submitted paper, one author is expected to attend the conference and present their work. There will be no registration fee administered for LDK 2021. 
Invited speakers

We are very happy to announce Mikel Forcada, Universitat d'Alacant, Mathieu Lafourcade, University of Montpellier, and Sara Tonelli, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, as keynote speakers for LDK 2021. 
Presentation format

Accepted submissions will be selected for oral or poster presentation based on recommendations from the reviewers. This decision will not reflect any difference in the quality of the papers, and there will be no distinction in the published volumes. 
Authors of accepted short papers and scientific abstract are welcome to present their work as a demo in addition to the regular presentation.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register to present the paper at the conference.
