Hosted by ABBYY, Dialogue is one of the largest annual interdisciplinary scientific events in the area of natural language processing. It is a place where scientists and developers can see, discuss, compare, and evaluate pioneering language-based technologies and software. The conference fuses modern computerized analysis and traditional linguistic research with the aim of developing a computer model of the Russian language and framing general principles of computer modeling for other natural languages.
With a 40-year history, Dialogue is a unique discussion platform covering a wide variety of global trends and challenges in computational linguistics: it combines plenary and special sessions with demo rooms for language software and round-table talks. Knowledge mining, semantic search, reliable verification methods, data extraction, machine translation, communicative strategies, and non-verbal communication components have always been among the highlights. Developers can present their solutions to the expert community, media, and potential customers during the Business Day.
Upon a rigorous professional review process, the papers become available via SCOPUS – the largest international scientific abstract and citation database.
