Proceedings of TyP-NLP: The First Workshop on Typology for Polyglot NLP

The TyP-NLP workshop will be the first dedicated venue for typology-related research and its integration into multilingual Natural Language Processing (NLP). The workshop will be hosted by the 57th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL 2019) in Florence, Italy.The ultimate goal of TyP-NLP is the development of robust language technology applicable across the world’s languages. Long overdue, the workshop is specifically aimed at raising awareness of linguistic typology and its potential in supporting and widening the global reach of multilingual NLP. It will foster research and discussion on open problems relevant to the multilingual NLP community, but it will also invite input from leading researchers in linguistics and cognitive sciences.
