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 13th International
Conference on Meaning and Knowledge Representation (MKR 2026) will
take place at Vilnius University, Institute of English, Romance and
Classical Studies (Vilnius, Lithuania) on 01‐03 July 2026.
The MKR 2026 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.
We invite 20-minute (plus 10-minute discussion) presentation proposals
on the following topics, among others:
 - Semantics and conceptual structure
 - Pragmatics and contextual meaning
 - Cognitive linguistics
 - Discourse and text meaning
 - Computational models of meaning
 - Knowledge representation and reasoning
 - Semantics and pragmatics in AI and NLP
