SloNLP is a workshop focused on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computational Linguistics. Its primary aim is to promote cooperation among NLP researchers in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The topics of the workshop include automatic speech recognition, automatic natural language analysis and generation (morphology, syntax, semantics, etc.), dialogue systems, machine translation, information retrieval, practical applications of NLP technologies, and other topics of computational linguistics. To further encourage cooperation and sharing of information among NLP researchers in Slovakia and Czechia, we o er Open session, an opportunity for anyone to present his work, without writing a paper. As invited speakers, we welcome people that apply NLP in a private sector to contrast with mainly academic participants. This year, Lukas Vrabel presents his experiences from Central Europe AI startup studio. This year, 5 papers are accepted for a poster presentation and there is one participant of the Open Session.
