Call for Workshop Proposals


We invite you to submit a Workshop Proposal to the 6th Swiss Text Analytics Conference (SwissText), which takes place on June 14-16, 2021.

SwissText is an annual conference that brings together text analytics experts from industry and academia. It is organised by the Swiss Association for Natural Language Processing (SwissNLP) in collaboration with the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) and the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW). SwissText 2021 is part of the “Networking Event Series – Natural Language Processing” funded by InnoSuisse, the Swiss Innovation Agency. It is supported by more than 10 universities and scientific associations.

Apart from the main conference, which consists of four tracks (see Call for contributions here), the conference will feature workshops and a series of shared tasks.

We invite proposals for workshops to be held at the SwissText 2021 Conference. The main objective of the workshops is to facilitate the interaction and discussion on topics relevant for both industry and academia. We also encourage the submission of proposals for tutorials, hackathons as well as forums for discussions. We strongly encourage you to make the workshops highly interactive.

Workshops may consist of, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Tutorials
  • Panel Discussions
  • Hackathons

Workshops can last from at least 2 hours to a full-day event. Submission of proposals can be sent to our workshop inbox.

Please include:

  • Short section about the motivation and goals
  • Tentative, coarse-grained outline
  • Short CV of the instructor(s)
