The 27th Pacific Asia Conference on Language, Information, and Computation (PACLIC 27) will be held at National Chengchi University on November 21-24, 2013. Following the long tradition of PACLIC conferences, PACLIC 27 emphasizes the synergy of language studies and computational analyses—from theoretical frameworks to cognitive accounts, from information processing to language understanding, and from computational modeling to multi-lingual applications. PACLIC 27 is hosted by the Department of English, the Graduate Institute of Linguistics, and the Department of Computer Science at National Chengchi University, and co-hosted by the Institute of Linguistics at Academia Sinica, the Linguistic Society of Taiwan (LST), and the Association for Computational Linguistics and Chinese Language Processing (ACLCLP).
