“NLP tools and methods for diachronic lexical semantics”, 14-16 décembre 2026, Aix-en-Provence
We are pleased to invite researchers to contribute to the Workshop “NLP tools and methods for diachronic lexical semantics” that will take place as part of the LLcD2026 conference (December 2026, Aix-en-Provence, France). The focus of the Workshop is on diachrony and lexical semantics, addressing two questions: (1) does the performance of NLP tools vary depending on the historical period and language considered? (2) when are manual or semi-automatic annotations more reliable than NLP methods?
