The Sixth Swedish Language Technology Conference (SLTC 2016)
EXTENDED DEADLINE

The deadline for submissions to SLTC is extended to 10 September, 2016

Please consider contributing your work to SLTC. Notice that work in progress and previously published work is welcome.

The Sixth Swedish Language Technology Conference will be held in Umeå, 17-18 November 2016. It is organised by the research group Foundations of Language Processing at the Department of Computing Science at Umeå University.

Content
Papers are invited on all theoretical, practical, and applied aspects of language technology, including natural language processing, computational linguistics, speech technology, and neighbouring areas. Papers can describe completed or ongoing research, as well as practical applications of language technology, and may be combined with system demonstrations.

Format
Papers will be presented at the conference either as posters or as oral presentations, according to the decision of the program committee. The conference does not publish any proceedings, but accepted contributions will be made available on the conference web page as extended abstracts. For this reason, we also invite work that has been, or will be, published elsewhere, as long as this is compatible with the conditions of the publisher.

A special issue of the Northern European Journal of Language Technology (NEJLT) will be dedicated to the conference. This issue will solicit full-length versions of the conference papers, and will have a separate review process. The corresponding call for papers will be made shortly after SLTC, so that feedback given during the conference can be incorporated into the journal versions.

Submission
Papers must be submitted as extended abstracts using the style files provided, and should include author names and affiliations. The traditional length of SLTC abstracts are 2 pages, but we allow abstracts of up to 4 pages if it benefits the presentation. Papers must be submitted via the online paper submission system. Information on the paper submission procedure is available at the conference webpage: sltc2016.cs.umu.se

Deadline
The deadline for submission is 10 September, 2016.

Review
Papers will be reviewed by the program committee. Authors will be notified 1 October, 2016.
