CICLing is a series of annual international conferences devoted to computational linguistics (CL), natural language processing (NLP), human language technologies (HLT), natural-language human-computer interaction (HCI), as well as speech processing and speech recognition (SR).
Their topics of interest include, but are not limited to: text processing, computational morphology, tagging, stemming, syntactic analysis, parsing and shallow parsing, chunking, recognizing textual entailment, ambiguity resolution, semantic analysis, pragmatics, lexicon, lexical resources, dictionaries and machine-readable dictionaries (MRD), grammar, anaphora resolution, word sense disambiguation (WSD), machine translation (MT), information retrieval (IR), information extraction (IE), document handling, document classification and text classification, text summarization, text mining (TM), opinion mining, sentiment analysis, plagiarism detection, and spell checking (spelling).
[2] The acronym "CICLing" refers to "Conference on Intelligent text processing and Computational Linguistics", the name used before 2017.
Unlike some other conferences on computational linguistics and natural language processing, such as those run by the Association for Computational Linguistics, CICLing does not release its main proceedings as Open Access, publishing them instead with Springer; however, most of its complementary proceedings, published as special issues of journals, are released as Open Access; in addition, Springer allows the authors to make their papers available via their own webpages.
The table lists, by year, experts that have given keynote addresses at past CICLing conferences, as well as the chairs of the Local Organizing Committee.
