Meeting Description:

PROPOR 2016
12th International Conference on the Computational Processing of Portuguese
13-15 July 2016
Tomar, Portugal
http://propor2016.di.fc.ul.pt

Background:

The International Conference on the Computational Processing of Portuguese (PROPOR) is the main regular forum for presentation and discussion of the best research results in the area of natural language and speech processing focused on the Portuguese language.

The PROPOR series was initiated in 1993 and has since then being held in Brazil and Portugal. Previous meetings took place in Lisbon (1993), Curitiba (1996), Porto Alegre (1998), Évora (1999), Atibaia (2000), Faro (2003), Itatiaia (2006), Curia (2008), Porto Alegre (2010), Coimbra (2012) and São Carlos (2014).

Venue:

The next PROPOR is hosted by the University of Lisbon and the NLX-Natural Language and Speech Group from its Department of Informatics at the Faculty of Sciences.

This conference will be held in the historical city of Tomar, a world heritage site, 1 hour north of Lisbon by train. Tomar is one of Portugal's historical jewels and more significantly was the last Templar town to be commissioned for construction.
