CONFERENCE AIMS
The Depling conference responds to the growing need for a conference
dedicated to dependency-based approaches in linguistics and natural language
processing. In the past decade, dependencies, directed labeled graph
structures representing hierarchical relations between morphemes, words or
semantic units, have become very widespread in natural language processing.
However, the linguistic significance of these structures often remains vague,
and the need to discuss the theoretical and formal foundations of
dependency-based concepts is felt strongly by many people working in these
domains.
