Call for Participation – LDK Conference & DBpedia Day

Summary

With the advent of digital technologies, an ever-increasing amount of language data is now available across various application areas and industry sectors, thus making language data more and more valuable. In that context, we would like to draw your attention to the 2nd Language, Data and Knowledge conference, short LDK conference which will be held in Leipzig from May 20th till 22nd, 2019.

The Conference

This new biennial conference series aims at bringing together researchers from across disciplines concerned with language data in data science and knowledge-based applications.

Keynote Speakers

We are happy, that Christian Bizer, a founding member of DBpedia, will be one of the three amazing keynote speakers that open the LDK conference. Apart from Christian, Christiane Fellbaum from Princeton University and  Eduart Werner, representative of Leipzig University will share their thoughts on current language data issues to start vital discussions revolving around language data.
