Topics include, but are not limited to:
A. Specific challenges for Balto-Slavonic NLP, in particular in the context of IE and enabling technologies
- text segmentation
- morphological analysis
- morphology models
- morphosyntactic disambiguation
- named-entity recognition

- named-entity lemmatization
- term and keyword extraction
- name variant recognition and merging
- syntactical parsing and chunking
- co-reference resolution
- word sense disambiguation
- corpus-based knowledge acquisition
B. Multilingual IE frameworks and techniques applied to these languages
