<p id="h.p_GV9f7Pgd20R0" class="zfr3Q">The aim of
the IWCS conference is to bring together
researchers interested in any aspects of the
computation, annotation, extraction, and
representation of meaning in natural language,
whether from a lexical or structural semantic
perspective. IWCS embraces both symbolic and
machine learning approaches to computational
semantics, and everything in between. The main
conference will be run from 25-27 May 2019,
preceded by workshops on 23-24 May.</p>
