Proceedings of the 8th Workshop on Balto-Slavic Natural Language Processing

摘要: This volume contains the papers presented at BSNLP-2021: the eighth workshop on Balto-Slavic Natural Language Processing. The workshop is organized by ACL SIGSLAV, the Special Interest Group on NLP in Slavic Languages of the Association for Computational Linguistics.The BSNLP workshops have been convening for over a decade, with a clear vision and purpose. On one hand, the languages from the Balto-Slavic group play an important role due to their widespread use and diverse cultural heritage. These languages are spoken by about one-third of all speakers of the official languages of the European Union, and by over 400 million speakers worldwide. The political and economic developments in Central and Eastern Europe place societies where Balto-Slavic languages are spoken at the center of rapid technological advancement and growing European consumer markets.
