The Conference on Natural Language Processing ("Konferenz zur
Verarbeitung natürlicher Sprache", KONVENS) has been held every second
year since 1992. KONVENS 2018 (https://www.oeaw.ac.at/ac/konvens2018/)
will take place September 19-21, 2018 in Vienna (Austria).

We welcome original, unpublished contributions on research, development,
applications and evaluation, covering all areas of natural language
processing, ranging from basic questions to practical implementations of
natural language resources, components and systems. Contrary to previous
years, we do not propose a special theme in order to invite everyone
working in the field of Natural Language Processing or closely related
areas to contribute to the conference.


SUBMISSIONS

We welcome two types of contributions:
· Full papers for oral presentation (8 pages plus references)
· Short papers for presentation as posters (4 pages plus references)

The conference language is English.

Templates, including examples files and detailed formatting
instructions, are available for both LaTeX and Microsoft Word
(https://www.oeaw.ac.at/ac/konvens2018/authors-kit/). Regardless of the
system you use, submissions should always be made in PDF format, in
conformity with the formatting guidelines.

Submission and reviews will be anonymous. Please double-check that no
personal information is retained in the PDF's properties or metadata.
