The 14th Joint Conference on Lexical and Computational Semantics

The 14th Joint Conference on Lexical and Computational Semantics (*SEM 2025) is a leading venue for research that bridges formal linguistic semantics and computational approaches to meaning, co-located with major ACL venues and consistently featuring some of the most rigorous semantic analysis in the NLP community. The joint format reflects the productive tension between formal rigor and empirical scale.

Topics include word sense disambiguation, semantic role labeling, textual entailment, compositional semantics, metaphor and figurative language processing, coreference resolution, lexical knowledge bases, and the semantic evaluation of large language models. Computational semanticists, formal linguists, and NLP researchers interested in meaning representation will find *SEM an intellectually demanding and rewarding venue. The conference's emphasis on both linguistic precision and computational grounding makes it distinct within the semantics research landscape.
