The language of the Computational Linguistics Workshop is English.

The Computational Linguistics Workshop took the form of an oral presentation by peerreviewed individual papers. The papers were distributed among 93 external reviewers from France, Germany, The Netherlands, the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Moldova, Czech Republic, Poland, Bulgaria, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, Finland and Ukraine. To make more correct decisions regarding the acceptance or rejection the papers got 3-7 reviews.

The Computational Linguistics Workshop gathered participants from different countries including Germany, Canada, Sweden, Italy, France, Poland, and Ukraine.

This year Organizing Committee received 45 submissions, out of which 27 were accepted for presentation as regular papers. These papers and extended abstracts were published in Volume IV of the 8th International Conference on Computational Linguistics and Intelligent

Systems (CoLInS 2024) proceedings.

2. Acknowledgements

The Computational Linguistics Workshop would not have been possible without the support of many people. First of all, we would like to thank all the authors who submitted papers to the Computational Linguistics Workshop and thus demonstrated their interest in the research problems within our scope. We are very grateful to the members of our Program Committee for providing timely and thorough reviews and, also, for being cooperative in doing additional review work. We would like to thank the Organizing Committee of the conference whose devotion and efficiency made this instance of the Computational Linguistics Workshop a very interesting and effective scientific forum. We would like to thank the Computational Linguistics Workshop Chairs, as well as the Program Committee and all Reviewers, for their diligence in selecting the papers and ensuring their high scientific quality.
