This is the first Call for papers for ConsILR-2025

We invite you to submit a paper for the 20th edition of

the International Conference on Linguistic Resources and Tools

for Natural Language Processing – ConsILR-2025,

which will take place

between 8th to 10th of October 2025,

at the Romanian Academy, in Bucharest – Romania and online.

We expect papers presenting original and unpublished research, descriptions of accomplished or in-progress work in all areas of natural language processing, digital humanities, creation of resources and instruments to process language in both textual and spoken form. We call for contributions that range from theoretical, empirical and applied linguistics to computational models of language, research describing morphological, syntactic, semantic and discourse structures, pragmatic usage, multi-word expressions, the formation and evolution of languages, technologies to decipher and interpret old variants of languages, etc. The studies can be related to any language, but we encourage research evidencing specific aspects of the Romanian language or of any of its dialects and idioms. Case studies, demos of applications and review papers are also most welcome.

The conference is addressed to computer scientists and linguists, from PhD students to senior researchers, working on all areas of language modelling and processing, including lexicographers and creators of any forms of digital resources. We expect all ranges of approaches, from theoretical to symbolic, statistical and neural. Contributions may also describe new linguistic resources, such as speech and text corpora, bi- and multi-modal corpora, dictionaries in electronic form, treebanks, language models, pre-trained deep learning models transferable to other areas, vectorial models, collections of annotated documents, etc.

The organisers of the event are: Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence “Mihai Drăgănescu” of the Romanian Academy, Institute of Computer Science of the Romanian Academy – Iași Branch, Faculty of Computer Science of the “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași, “Alexandru Philippide” Institute of Philology of the Romanian Academy, Iași Branch, Romanian Association of Computational Linguistics, Academy of Technical Sciences of Romania.

Authors are encouraged to also submit, in addition to the papers per se, open-source linguistic resources, such as corpora (or corpus examples), demo code, videos and sound files.
