Call for Participation Closed!
We have closed the Call for Participation and are in the last stages of finalizing the schedule. Stay tuned!
The Tagung der Computerlinguistik-Studierenden (TaCoS) was first organized in 1992 and takes place once every year. It offers students of computational linguistics and adjacent fields a chance to exchange views during talks and workshops. The conference is hosted by teams of student volunteers at their university. Participants traditionally receive accommodation and breakfast in exchange for a small fee. At the center of the conference stand talks, workshops, and poster sessions; each given by students for students. Established academics from the host university are invited as keynote speakers as well. In addition, there is a social program for everyone to connect and network.
This year marks the 33. TaCoS and our team at Saarland University in Saarbrücken is proud to host the event this spring! The talks are set to be held on campus from 16th to 18th of May 2024.
