August 3-4, 2017
Vancouver, Canada

CoNLL is a top-tier conference, yearly organized by SIGNLL (ACL's Special Interest Group on Natural Language Learning). This year, CoNLL will be colocated with ACL 2017 in Vancouver, Canada. The special focus of this edition is on statistical, cognitive and grammatical inference.

CoNLL 2017 Chairs

• Lucia Specia - University of Sheffield, UK
• Roger Levy - MIT, USA

Shared Tasks

In 2017, CoNLL will have two associated shared tasks.

• CoNLL-SIGMORPHON-2017 Shared Task: Universal Morphological Reinflection
  Chair: Mans Hulden (University of Colorado, USA)
• CoNLL-2017 Shared Task: Multilingual Parsing from Raw Text to Universal Dependencies
