Meeting Description:

The 8th Language and Technology Conference (LTC 2017), a meeting organized by
the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Adam Mickiewicz
University in cooperation with the Adam Mickiewicz University Foundation, will
take place on November 17-19, 2017 in Poznań, Poland.

Yes, we started 22 years ago! Our tradition goes back to the Language and
Technology Awareness Days, a meeting organized in 1995 with the assistance of
the European Commission (DG XIII). Among the key speakers were Antonio
Zampolli (Italy), Dafydd Gibbon (Germany), Dan Tufiş (Romania), Orest Kossak
(Ukraina). Today, we refer to this event as the first LTC. Ten years later, we
decided to meet again, and since then the conference is being organized every
two years as  the ''Language & Technology Conference: Human Language
Technologies as a Challenge for Computer Science and Linguistics''.

Fostering language technologies and resources remains an important challenge
in the dynamically changing, information-saturated world that motivates us to
invite you joining us in Poznań at the LTC 2017.


Call for Papers:

Since the very beginning (1995) the meetings of the LTC series continue to
address Human Language Technologies (HLT) as a challenge for computer science,
linguistics and related fields. 

Conference Topics: cf. ltc.amu.edu.pl 

Language: English

Important Dates/Deadlines:

- Deadline for submission of papers for review: June 15, 2017
- Acceptance/Rejection notification: July 15, 2017
- Conference: November 17-19, 2017

Paper Submission:

The conference accepts papers in English only. Papers (5 formatted pages in
the conference format) are due by June 15, 2017 (midnight, any time zone) and
should not disclose the author(s) in any manner. In order to facilitate
submission we have decided to reduce the formatting requirements as much as
possible at this stage.

All submissions are to be made electronically via the LTC 2017 web submission
system (EasyChair). Acceptance/rejection notification will be sent by July 15,
2017.

Publication Policy:

Acceptance will be based on the reviewers' assessments (anonymous submission
model). The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings
(hard copy, with ISBN number) and on CD-ROM. The abstracts of the accepted
contributions will also be made available via the conference page (during its
lifetime). Publication requires full electronic registration and payment of
the conference fee (full registration) by at least one co-authors in the due
time (dates will be presented at the conference site). One registration fee
entitles publication of one paper.

A post-conference volume with extended versions of selected papers is planned
to be published. As this was the case in the past, we intend to publish them
in the Springer series Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence.

Registration:

Only electronic registration will be possible. Details will be published at
www.ltc.amu.edu.pl.

Awards for Best Student Papers:

As at the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th Language and Technology Conferences
(2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015) special awards will be granted to the
best student papers. The regular or PhD students (on the date of paper
submission) are concerned. More details will be provided at
www.ltc.amu.edu.pl.

Workshops:

As in the past, we intend to provide facilities for satellite workshops in the
LTC field of interest. We would like them to be an integral part of the
conference, open for all LTC participants and taking place in the time limits
of the LTC. The acceptance and publication rules need be the same as for all
other LTC contributions. The satellite workshops will have their own program
committees responsible for the acceptance/rejection decisions and workshop
deadlines. The whole LTC program will be open for workshop participants.
People interested in organisation of an LTC workshop are kindly requested to
contact Zygmunt Vetulani at vetulani at amu.edu.pl.

Please notice that remaining important information are or will be provided at
the conference site www.ltc.amu.edu.pl. Please check this site from time to
time and do not hesitate to ask questions through ltc17 at amu.edu.pl.
