CETRA is please to help spread the word about this open call for abstracts for the 5th International Symposium on Parallel Corpora. The call comes to us from CETRA alumna María Luisa Rodríguez.
The ACTRES Research Group and the Department of English Studies at the University of Valladolid (Spain) invite the academic and professional community to participate in the PaCor 2025 symposium, to be held on 28-30 May 2025 at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras and Facultad de Comercio y Relaciones Laborales at the University of Valladolid (Spain). This symposium aims to promote discussion and reflection and to explore the dynamic intersections between generative artificial intelligence and linguistic corpora.
We invite submissions from researchers across the disciplines who employ empirical approaches, including (but not limited to) corpus-based, generative AI and computational methods to address professional communication in multilingual contexts. We are interested in submissions including, but not limited to the following questions:
- The role of large language models (LLMs) in corpus linguistics
- Generative AI applications in translation and multilingual corpora
- Ethical implications of AI-generated language data
- Enhancing language teaching with AI and corpora
- Cross-linguistic and cross-cultural considerations in AI-generated texts
- Multilingual translation and professional writing
- Corpus encoding
On-site and online participation are supported. We encourage contributions in various languages, including Chinese, Japanese, English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian. However, please note that the official languages of the conference will be English and Spanish.
We are delighted to announce the following invited plenary speakers:
- Suguru Ishizaki (Carnegie Mellon University, USA)
- Marie Aude Lefer (Louvain School of Translation and Interpreting, UCLouvain, Belgium)
- Mario Barcala (NLPgo Technologies, S. L.)
In addition, a workshop on text mining will be delivered by José Manuel Fradejas (Universidad de Valladolid, Spain), and a round table will be held as part of the conference, including professionals and experts in the field.
The symposium will include a social programme to be determined, as well as a Gala Dinner.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Valladolid!
