IWCS 2025: Call for Papers
The 16th International Conference on Computational Semantics (IWCS) is a biennial conference on computational semantics, organized by Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf.
The 16th International Conference on Computational Semantics (IWCS) is a biennial conference on computational semantics, organized by Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf.
The conference aims to bring together researchers interested in any aspects of the computation, annotation, extraction, representation, and learning of meaning in natural language.
The invited speakers of IWCS 2025 are Oana-Maria Camburu, Alexander Koller, and Denis Paperno.
