Dear Colleagues, The 9th Language and Technology Conference (LTC 2019), a meeting organized by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland and the Adam Mickiewicz University Foundation, will take place on May 17-19, 2019. Following the tradition of the past events, it is supported by ELRA, FlaReNet, and META-NET. Yes, we started 24 years ago! Our tradition goes back to the Language and Technology Awareness Days, a meeting organized in 1995 with the assistance of the European Commission (DG XIII). Among the key speakers were Antonio Zampolli (Italy), Dafydd Gibbon (Germany), Dan Tufiş (Romania), Orest Kossak (Ukraina). Today, we refer to this event as the first LTC. Since 2005 LTC is organized every two years as the “Language & Technology Conference: Human Language Technologies as a Challenge for Computer Science and Linguistics”. Fostering language technologies and resources remains an important challenge in the dynamically changing, information-saturated world and we invite all concerned people to join us in Poznań at the LTC 2019 in order to face this challenge together. Since the very beginning (1995) the meetings of the LTC series continue to address Human Language Technologies (HLT) as a challenge for computer science, linguistics and related fields. Fostering language technologies and resources remains an important objective in our dynamically changing information-saturated world that motivate us to invite you for joining us at the LTC 2019 in Poznań.

Theme: This workshop welcomes the submissions dedicated to resources and tools existing for Turkic and other agglutinative languages. We intend to launch systematic international work to enhance development of human language technologies for these languages starting with creation of a map of already existing digital language data and software. The preference will be given to freely available resources and tools. The organizers are looking forward to receiving contributions that will be presented in the form of software or data demonstrations. The goal of the workshop is also to integrate the community of researchers focusing on the empirical analyses of Turkic and other agglutinative languages and to stimulate scientific discussions regarding the development of language technologies for these languages.

This workshop targets all researchers and practitioners interested in the application of language technologies to support the response to and management of crisis and emergency situations. Linguists, computer scientists and - last but not least - first responders and relief workers are welcome to contribute and to interact during the workshop. We solicit contributions addressing both practical and theoretical aspects of developing and applying language technology for crisis and emergency situations. State of the art application reports as well as visionary contributions to the workshop discussion are welcome. By crises and emergency situations we mean incidents at varying scale, including smaller ones such as house fires, traffic accidents, local floods, hazardous material disposal, etc. or medium-size to large ones, such as natural or manmade disasters, terrorist attacks, incidents at large-scale social or sports events, etc. All such incidents pose safety risks to responders and public, and require that the response is carried out as efficiently as possible, both within and across country borders. The workshop welcomes original contributions addressing any aspect of the development and use of language technology that is aimed to support the crisis and emergency management (CEM) by any of the organizations involved in the response to and relief of such a situation, including the fire brigades, police, medical services, humanitarian organizations etc. PROGRAM COMMITTEE: WORKSHOP TOPICS The workshop includes but is not limited to the following topics applied to language technology and natural language processing for CEM: IMPORTANT DATES/DEADLINES PAPER SUBMISSION The HLTCEM 2019 Workshop accepts papers in English only.

The growing accessibility of various kinds of technologies encourages specialists from various areas of expertise to apply them in their research. Consequently, we observe an increasing need of the dialogue between the providers and the end-users of the technologies. The goal of this workshop is to stimulate the discussion and provide a meeting platform for engineers and specialists in the humanities. We invite contributions from the domains of technology and the humanities, not limited to linguistics. We particularly welcome non-trivial examples of the impact that Human Language Technology may have (and already has) on various fields of Humanities. Among the best identified areas of HLT applications are: qualitative and qualitative analysis of literary, journalistic, political, scientific, technical, etc. written texts/authors; analysis of audiovisual and multimedia texts; professional translation (translation technology, tools for information retrieval and pre- and post-editing); forensic linguistics (plagiarism detection, author / speaker identification); teaching methodology, psychology, cultural studies and language usage; social media – linguistic, social and cultural aspects. As this list is far from being exhaustive, please consider it open. We welcome both novel applications of state of the art technologies and novel technologies in application to well identified problems. Vision papers are welcome too.

During recent several years Social Infrastructure has become irreversibly linked to such the Internet and its everyday manifestations, like Social Networking Services (Twitter, Facebook, etc.). Every second this new tangible information-based reality provides large amounts of data filled with 1) emotional expressions, 2) people's opinions on various topics, and 3) their reasoning revealing decision making processes. These three are also closely related to each other and as such should be studied closely together. This, as never before, provides an opportunity for development and application of natural language processing methods, in particular those regarding such topics as emotion processing, decision making and opinion mining. We would like to invite papers from researchers with the common interests in knowing more about ourselves and the world we live in by means of opinion and sentiment analysis, recommendations, Web mining, decision making, etc. We are also interested in gathering researchers working on emotions, psychology, sociology or ethics with Natural Language Processing tools. We cordially invite experts, researchers and scholars in relevant fields to share their knowledge and join us in a constructive discussion on these topics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Program The access to the program of both the main conference and the workshops (as well as the social program) is the same for all LTC/EDO participants. Organizers Program Committee Inscription procedure: as for the general LTC (+ cc to workshop chairs) Fees: The EDO Workshop is an integral part of the LTC (with autonomous Program Committee). Fees and payment procedures are the same as for LTC and cover participation in the general program. Free for participants registered to the general LTC. Single registration covers only one paper presentation (cf. the Publication Policy section). Papers:The EDO Workshop accepts papers in English only. Submitted texts should not disclose the author(s) in any manner. Format and templates are the same as for the general LTC (see the Paper Submission Section; above). Papers should be submitted using EasyChair exactly as for the general LTC but copies should also be sent to the EDO Workshop ) organizers i.e. to: Michał Ptaszyński, Rafał Rzepka and Paweł Dybała.
