Meeting Description:

Natural language understanding systems require a knowledge base
provided with formal representations reflecting the structure of human
beings' cognitive system. Although surface semantics can be sufficient
in some other systems, the construction of a robust knowledge base
guarantees its use in most natural language processing applications,
thus consolidating the concept of resource reuse. This conference
deals with meaning and knowledge representation in the context of
natural language understanding from the perspective of theoretical
linguistics, computational linguistics, cognitive science, knowledge
engineering, artificial intelligence, natural language processing,
text analytics or linked data and semantic web technologies.

Following the success of previous editions, the 12th International
Conference on Meaning and Knowledge Representation (MKR 2025) will
take place in Logroño (Spain), July 9, 10 and 11, 2025, organized by
University of La Rioja.

The MKR 2025 conference is a hybrid event, combining in-person and
virtual attendance. However, face-to-face proposals will be
prioritised.

This event is part of the R&D&I projects PID2023-146582NB-I00 and
PID2023-147137NB-I00, funded by MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by
ERDF, EU.
