The 6th Language and Technology Conference (LTC 2013), December 7-9, 2013, Poznan, Poland CALL FOR PAPERS The 6th Language and Technology Conference (LTC 2013), a meeting organized by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer 
Science of Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan, Poland in cooperation with the Adam Mickiewicz University Foundation, will take 
place on December 7-9, 2013. Since very beginning the meetings of the LTC series continue to address Human Language Technologies (HLT) as a challenge for computer science, linguistics and related fields. Fostering language technologies and resources remains an important mission in the 
dynamically changing information-saturated world. We aim at contributing to this mission and we invite you to join us in that at LTC 2013 in December 2013, traditionally held in Poznań, Poland. CONFERENCE TOPICS The conference topics include the following (the ordering is not significant): * electronic language resources and tools * formalization of natural languages * parsing and other forms of NL processing * computer modeling of language competence * NL user modeling * NL understanding by computers * knowledge representation * man-machine NL interfaces * Logic Programming in Natural Language Processing * speech processing * NL applications in robotics * text-based information retrieval and extraction * question answering * tools and methodologies for developing multilingual systems * translation enhancement tools * corpora-based methods in language engineering * WordNet-like ontologies * methodological issues in HLT * language-specific computational challenges for HLTs (especially for languages other than English) * validation in all areas of HLTs * HLT standards and best practices * HLTs as a support for foreign language teaching * HLTs as support for e-learning * communicative intelligence * NLP methods in cyber-criminality detection and prevention * legal issues connected with HLTs (problems and challenges) * contribution of HLTs to the Homeland Security problems (technology applications and legal aspects) * visionary papers in the field of HLT * HLT related policies * system prototype presentations This list is by no means closed and we are open to further proposals. Please do not hesitate to contact us with new suggestions
