CLiB 2020: Computational Linguistics in Bulgaria, postponed to late September 2020

Dear colleagues,

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on everyone?s life, we
feel that the responsible thing to do is to postpone the conference
until better times. Given the rapid unfolding of events, the exact dates
for CLIB 2020 will be announced at a later point, but we are looking
forward to reschedule the conference for late September 2020 and will be
working hard to make this happen. The organisation will continue at full
speed.

We use this opportunity to announce that the deadline for paper
submissions is extended one last time. You will be able to update your
submissions or to make new ones until 15 April 2020 (23:59 UTC/GMT + 2).
We are looking forward to your contributions! (Find full CFP below).
The remaining dates will be moved forward as follows:
Author notification deadline: 15 May 2020
Camera-ready PDF due: 15 June 2020
Official proceedings publication date: 15 July 2020

Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused and our
thanks for your understanding!

Computational Linguistics in Bulgaria (CLIB 2020): Final CFP

The fourth edition of the International Conference on Computational
Linguistics in Bulgaria (CLIB 2020) (http://dcl.bas.bg/clib/) will be
held in September 2020 in Sofia, Bulgaria.

**SCOPE
CLIB covers a broad spectrum of areas related to natural language
processing and computational linguistics focused on but not limited to
Bulgarian.

**TOPICS OF INTEREST
semantics, syntax, grammar and the lexicon;
cognitive, mathematical and computational models of language processing;
lexical semantics and ontologies;
linguistic annotation ? POS tagging, syntactic and semantic parsing,
etc.;
word sense disambiguation;
MWE recognition;
information extraction;
text analysis and summarisation;
NLP methods and applications (such as machine translation,
text-to-speech and speech-to-text generation, eLearning, etc.);
corpus linguistics;
multilingual processing and applications, machine translation and
translation aids.

Papers describing research in theoretical computational linguistics are
also solicited. At the same time, we encourage all authors to include
analysis of the impact of theories on technologies, and/or contributions
of technologies to the advancement of theory, where appropriate.
In-depth analysis and discussion of errors made in the experiments
described and the influence of linguistically-motivated features on the
performance of the methods and/or models applied will receive additional
credit toward the overall evaluation score.

**SPECIAL SESSION ON WORDNETS AND ONTOLOGIES
A special session dedicated to wordnets and ontologies will be held at
CLIB 2020. This will be its second edition after a successful start at
CLIB 2018. The special session brings together researchers interested in
the principles, theory, practice and applications of wordnets,
ontologies, related linguistic resources and their interoperability and
seeks to establish a dedicated community and to foster joint initiatives
in this particular field.

**INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS
There will be two categories of research papers: oral and poster
presentations. The submissions should be at least 4 pages and should not
exceed 8 pages of content in the adopted format, plus two extra pages
for references. All accepted papers will be included in the conference
proceedings.

Papers shall be submitted in English. On submission, please indicate
whether you submit a paper to the main conference or to the special
session on wordnets and ontologies.

As reviewing will be double blind, the submissions should be anonymised
with regard to the authors and/or their institutional affiliation and
should not contain any other author-identifying information, including
self-references revealing the author?s identity. Each submission will be
reviewed by at least two anonymous reviewers.

Additional information and CLIB 2020 style guidelines are available at
the conference site: http://dcl.bas.bg/clib/instructions-for-authors/.

Submission and reviewing will be managed online by the EasyChair
conference management system through the CLIB 2020 login page
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=clib2020).

Shortly after the conference, the proceedings will be submitted for
review to Clarivate Analytics with a view to being indexed in Web of
Science. The proceedings from CLIB 2016 and CLIB 2018 have received
positive evaluation and have already been indexed in the citation
database.

We also plan to propose a selection of papers from the conference to be
published in a special issue of the CIT Journal
(http://www.cit.iit.bas.bg/), which publishes research in the areas of
artificial intelligence and linguistic modelling, among others. The
journal has a SJR (Scientific Journal Ranking) value (SJR 2018 = 0.215,
SNIP 2018 = 0.595, CiteScore 2018 = 0.84).
