    This scientific event convened PhD researchers with an interest in the latest research work
and developments in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), employing computational
techniques for the purpose of learning, understanding, and producing human language content,
as well as new possibilities of real-world applications and R&D projects in this field.
