Conferences
2–4 March 2020, Evora, Portugal
The 14th edition of the International Conference on the Computational Processing of Portuguese (PROPOR 2020)
The International Conference on Computational Processing of Portuguese (PROPOR) is the main event in the area of human language processing that is focused on theoretical and technological issues of written and spoken Portuguese. The meeting has been a very rich forum for the exchange of ideas and partnerships for the research communities dedicated to the automated processing of Portuguese, promoting the development of methodologies, resources and projects that can be shared among researchers and practitioners in the field.
We call for papers describing work on any topic related to computational language and speech processing of Portuguese by researchers in the industry or academia. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Human speech production, perception and communication
- Linguistic description and theories
- Natural language processing tasks (e.g. parsing, word sense disambiguation, coreference resolution)
- Natural language processing applications (e.g. question answering, subtitling, summarization, sentiment analysis)
- Speech technologies (e.g. spoken language generation, speech and speaker recognition, spoken language understanding)
- Speech applications (e.g. spoken language interfaces, dialogue systems, speech-to-speech translation)
- Resources, standardization and evaluation (e.g. corpora, ontologies, lexicons, grammars)
- Language and speech processing in academic disciplines
- Portuguese language variants and dialect processing (including the language varieties of Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Angola, São Tomé, Macau or Galiza)
- Multilingual studies, methods, applications and resources including Portuguese
PROPOR 2020 will be the 14th edition of the biennial PROPOR conference, hosted alternately in Brazil and in Portugal. Past meetings were held in Lisbon, PT (1993); Curitiba, BR (1996); Porto Alegre, BR (1998); Évora, PT (1999); Atibaia, BR (2000); Faro, PT (2003); Itatiaia, BR (2006); Aveiro, PT (2008); Porto Alegre, BR (2010); Coimbra, PT (2012); São Carlos, BR (2014), Tomar, PT (2016), and Canela, BR (2018).
