The 9th International Symposium on Language & Knowledge Engineering will be held in Dublin, Ireland. LKE24 is organized by the School of Enterprise Computing and Digital Transformation of the Technological University Dublin, Grangegorman Campus. LKE 2024 will be a forum for exchanging scientific results and experiences, as well as sharing new knowledge, and increasing the co-operation between research groups in natural language processing and related areas.

Paper Submission and Review Process


All the papers will be blind submitted (author’s names are not allowed) in English. All submissions will be peer reviewed by the Scientific Committee, for originality, technical content and relevance. The final acceptance will be based upon double blind peer review of the full-length paper, and based on this the final decision will be to be considered either as ORAL or POSTER presentation.


All papers accepted in the main conference (oral presentation) will be published in one of these journals.


Springer Nature Computer Science (SNCS)“, SCOPUS ISSN: 2662-995X.


Journal of Scientometric Research“, SCOPUS ISSN : [Print -2321-6654, Online - 2320-0057].


International Journal of Combinatorial Optimization Problems and Informatics (IJCOPI)“, Web of Science Core Collection: Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) SCOPUS CONACYT ISSN: 2007-1558.


Springer Nature Transformative Journal in AI and Ethics“, Electronic ISSN: 2730-5961.


Submissions are invited for papers presenting high quality, previously unpublished research. Selection criteria include originality of ideas, correctness, clarity and significance of results and quality of presentation. Papers must be formatted according to the author guidelines for SN Computer Science.


Please prepare your paper using either the LaTeX (recommended) or the Ms Word Text Formating guide. Please limit the size of your paper to the suggested number of pages and the provided journal format. Papers that do not follow these format requirements may be rejected without review or may be not included in the journal even if they were accepted for publication.


Other Journal Special Issues from the Conference Organizers

The organizers of the conference are also organizing related Special Issues of the following journals. Authors of some accepted good quality papers in LKE 2024 will be invited to submit extended/revised versions of their submissions to these venues:

Special Issue of ACM TALLIP (Clarivate: Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE)).

Special Issue of Computer Speech and Language (Web of Science Indexed).


Language

Manuscripts must be written in English. Authors whose native language is not English are recommended to seek the advice of a native English speaker, if possible, before submitting their manuscripts.


The papers should be submitted electronically at the Microsoft CMT system: CMT - LKE2024


Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and to present the communication at the conference, if it is accepted.


Size

We are accepting papers of sizes 14 - 16 pages using the suggested format. Registration fee for authors includes publication of a paper of up to 16 pages. The additional fee is charged for the pages exceeding the page limit in either the version submitted for review or in the camera-ready version, whichever is greater. In particular, you must not shorten the camera-ready version in comparison with the version submitted for review unless the reviewers required this (contact us if you feel you should do shorten it; in any case this would not reduce the fee).
However, we encourage you to use as many pages as you really need for an excellent paper considering the page limit.

Short papers (6-8 pages) will be considered for poster presentation


Double blind review policy


The review procedure is double blind. Thus the papers submitted for review must not contain the authors’ names, affiliations, or any information that may disclose the authors’ identity (this information is to be restored in the camera-ready version upon acceptance). In particular, in the version submitted for review please avoid explicit auto-references.
