CLiC-it 2026

Welcome to the 12th Edition of CLiC-it!

The annual Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics (CLiC-it) reaches its 12th edition this year and will be hosted, for the first time, in Palermo, Italy. Over the years, CLiC-it has become a central meeting point for the Italian research community in Computational Linguistics (CL) and Natural Language Processing (NLP).

The conference will present current research and methodological advances in automatic language processing, covering both written and spoken language. It brings together researchers from a range of disciplines, including Computational Linguistics and NLP, Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Machine Learning, Computer Science, Knowledge Representation, Information Retrieval, and Digital Humanities. CLiC-it encourages interdisciplinary exchange and reflects the complexity of language-related research.

Submissions on all languages are welcome, with particular attention to work focusing on Italian. CLiC-it 2026 will take place in Palermo from September 14th to 16th, 2026, and is supported by the Italian Association of Computational Linguistics (AILC): https://www.ai-lc.it/

We invite researchers and practitioners to take part in CLiC-it 2026 and contribute to discussions on current and future directions in Computational Linguistics and NLP.
