KONVENS 2025: Conference on Natural Language Processing

KONVENS 2025, the Conference on Natural Language Processing in the German-speaking world, is the primary annual forum for computational linguistics and NLP research conducted in or focused on German, Austrian, and Swiss contexts. The program covers the full spectrum of modern NLP — language models, information extraction, named entity recognition, text classification, corpus construction, and machine translation — with particular attention to German-language resources and applications.

German NLP presents distinctive challenges: complex morphology, flexible word order, and significant dialectal variation make it a rich testbed for methods that must go beyond English-centric assumptions. KONVENS attracts academic researchers, industry NLP engineers, and corpus linguists, as well as students entering the field, and provides a community where German-language NLP is treated as a first-class research concern rather than an afterthought.
