Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands

Highlights

• The next, 31st, CLIN is now set to be held in Gent on Friday July 9th 2021. We sincerely hope to welcome you all in person in Gent, but we will be ready to move to a virtual format if needed. Please check https://www.clin31.ugent.be/ for updates. The programme will be composed of a series of oral presentations which will be selected based on extended abstracts of 3 to 4 pages long. Everyone who has an extended abstract accepted will be invited to submit a full paper for Volume 11 of the CLIN Journal. The call for extended abstracts will be sent out in January 2021. We will be monitoring the ongoing global pandemic and decide at a later time whether we can organize CLIN as a physical event. If a physical event is allowed, an additional call for (short) abstracts will be launched for poster presentations.

• Thanks to the people in Antwerp, all older CLIN proceedings are now electronically available via the "Proceedings" tab of the CLIN journal website!

• The previous CLIN was held in Utrecht, on January 30, 2020. Visit the CLIN30 website for more information: https://clin30.sites.uu.nl/

• As per CLIN 21, selection of papers presented at CLIN meetings are published in a free electronic journal, Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands Journal. The journal can be accessed via http://www.clinjournal.org.

• Van Rekenmachine Tot Taalautomaat: this book about the history of language and speech technology in the Netherlands and Flanders is still electronically available. Read more (in Dutch).
