The biennial Conference on Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK) aims to bring together researchers from across disciplines concerned with the acquisition, curation and use of language data in the context of data science and knowledge-based applications.
The LDK conferences have been initiated by a consortium of researchers from the Insight Centre for Data Analytics, InfAI (University Leipzig) and Wolfgang Goethe University and a Scientific Committee of leading researchers in Natural Language Processing, Linked Data and Semantic Web, Language Resources and Digital Humanities.
It is endorsed by several international organisations: DBpedia, ACL SIGANN (Special Interest Group on Linguistic Annotation, Association for Computational Linguistics), Global Wordnet Association, CLARIN and Big Data Value Association (BDVA).
