COLING Workshop “Computational Linguistics for Linguistic Complexity”

The objective of the workshop is to promote a common reflection on approaches for the detection, evaluation and modeling of linguistic complexity, with a particular emphasis on  research questions such as:

• whether, and to what extent, a machine and human subject perspective can be combined or share commonalities;
• whether, and to what extent, linguistic complexity metrics specific for the human subject perspective can be extended for handling complexity for machine and vice versa;
• whether, and to what extent, linguistic phenomena hampering human processing correlate with difficulties in the automatic processing of language.

Topics of interest include the detection and measurement of linguistic complexity, the processing of Linguistic Complexity, NLP tools and resources for CL4LC, and vision papers discussing the link between human and machine oriented perspectives on linguistic complexity.
