************************************************************************************


The International Conference on Computational Processing of Portuguese
(PROPOR), whose next edition will take place for the first time in
Galicia, birthplace of the Portuguese language, is the main event in
the area of natural language processing that is focused on theoretical
and technological issues of written and spoken Portuguese and Galician
(considered as a local variety of the former). The meeting has been a
very rich forum for the exchange of ideas and partnerships for the
research and industry communities dedicated to the automated
processing of this language, 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/Galician by
researchers in the industry or academia. Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:

-Natural language processing tasks (e.g. parsing, word sense
disambiguation, coreference resolution)

-Natural language processing applications (e.g. question answering,
subtitling, summarization, sentiment analysis)

-Natural language generation

-Information extraction and information retrieval

-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)

-NLP-oriented linguistic description or theoretical analysis

-Distributional semantics and language modeling

-Portuguese language varieties and dialect processing (including the
language varieties of Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, East Timor, Galicia,
Guinea-Bissau, Macau, Mozambique, Portugal, and Sao Tome and Principe)

-Multilingual studies, methods, applications and resources including
Portuguese/Galician


PROPOR 2024 will be held at the University of Santiago de Compostela
(Santiago de Compostela - Galicia, Spain) from March 14th to March
15th.


PROPOR 2024 will be the 16th edition of the biennial PROPOR
conference, hosted alternately in Brazil and in Europe
(Portugal/Galicia). 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), Canela, BR (2018), Évora, PT (2020), and
Fortaleza, BR (2022).


* Submissions:

Submissions should describe original, unpublished work. Authors are
invited to submit two kinds of papers:

-Full papers – Reporting substantial and completed work, especially
those that may contribute in a significant way to the advancement of
the area. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation results should be
included. Full papers may consist of up to 8 pages of content, plus
unlimited pages of references.

-Short papers – Reporting small, focused contributions such as ongoing
work, position papers, potential ideas to be discussed, or negative
results. Short papers may consist of up to 4 pages of content, plus
unlimited pages of references.


Both Full and Short papers will be published in the proceedings of the
main conference.


Each submission will be evaluated by at least three reviewers. As
reviewing will be double-blind, submitted papers must be anonymized,
that is, they should not contain the authors’ names and affiliations.
Authors must avoid self-references that reveal identity, like, “We
previously showed (Smith, 1991) …”. Instead, they should prefer
citations such as “Smith (1991) previously showed …”. Separate author
identification information will be required as part of the submission
process.


Submissions to PROPOR 2024 may not be made available online (e.g. via
a preprint server), and may not be submitted for review elsewhere
while being under review for this conference.


Submissions should be written in English. At submission time, only PDF
format is accepted. For the final versions, authors of accepted papers
will be given 1 extra content page to take the reviews into account.
Authors of accepted papers will be requested to send the source files
for the production of the proceedings. All submitted papers must
conform to the official ACL style guidelines. ACL provides style files
for LaTeX and Microsoft Word that meet these requirements. They can be
found at:

-LaTeX styelesheet: https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files/tree/master/latex

-MS Word stylesheet: https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files/tree/master/word


Paper should be submitted here in the following URL:
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=propor2024


* Important dates:

-Full and short paper submission deadline: 15/10/2023 (23:59 GMT-3)

-Notification of paper acceptance or rejection: 15/11/2023

-Camera-ready papers due: 29/11/2023

-Conference: March 14th - 15th, 2024


* Publication:

The proceedings of PROPOR 2024 will be published by ACL as a volume in
ACL Anthology (https://aclanthology.org/). They will be available
online. To ensure publication, at least one author of each accepted
paper must complete an adequate registration for PROPOR 2024 by the
early registration deadline.
