Conference topics

The conference invites submissions addressing theoretical, methodological, and applied research related to the development of digital resources and language technologies for South Slavic languages. Topics include, but are not limited to:

Information Technologies in the Processing of South Slavic Languages

  • Morphological, syntactic, and semantic analysis
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP) for Serbian and other South Slavic languages
  • Automatic normalization
  • Named entity recognition and linking (NER, NEL)
  • Relation and event extraction
  • Processing of dialects and language varieties

Digital Corpora of South Slavic Languages

  • Corpus design, compilation, annotation, and standardization (TEI, CoNLL, JSON-LD)
  • Historical, diachronic, and specialized corpora
  • Parallel and multilingual corpora
  • Corpora for machine learning and large language models
  • Spoken language corpora and transcription resources
  • Metadata standards, licensing, and FAIR principles
  • Domain-specific corpora (e.g., law, medicine, mining, economics)
  • Monitor (dynamic) corpora

Language Resources for South Slavic Languages

  • Lexical databases, dictionaries, and terminological resources
  • Ontologies and knowledge graphs (e.g., Wikidata and domain-specific knowledge graphs)
  • Semantic networks, WordNet, and FrameNet
  • Resources for sentiment, emotion, and moral value analysis
  • Educational language resources
  • Interoperability and Linked Open Data
  • Standards and frameworks (ISO/TC 37, LAF, OntoLex-Lemon)

Language Technologies for South Slavic Languages

  • Machine translation
  • Automatic summarization and text generation
  • Speech recognition and speech synthesis
  • Intelligent information retrieval and question answering systems

Abstracts and papers can be in one of the South Slavic languages or in English. The length of the abstract should be from 1000 to 2500 words, including examples and diagrams (no more than 10 pages without references). Papers should be between 4500 and 6000 words (maximum 20 pages without references). The deadline for sending abstracts is May 15, 2026, and the address to which they should be sent: judig@jerteh.rs

To prepare a paper/abstract, use the Word template or the Overleaf template for LateX.

For abstract and paper submission, please use OpenReview.
