CompLing Seminar

June 23-26, 2025

CompLing-2025 seminar explores cutting-edge research in computational linguistics, NLP, and AI, fostering collaboration between researchers and industry to drive innovation and interdisciplinary exchange.

Zakharov.day

March 13, 2025

The meetup dedicated to the issues of automatic text processing, the creation and application of corpus resources, and continuing the research traditions established by the founder of the St. Petersburg School of Corpus Linguistics, V.P. Zakharov.

TextMining.day

September 7, 2025

Which intersection of entities will you choose for your project? Let's piece the puzzle together and explore areas like sentiment analysis, semantic modeling, and other methods we use to uncover meaning in texts.

LLM.day

December 23, 2025

What challenges do we face in building large language models? From managing massive datasets to tackling high fine-tuning costs and addressing data privacy concerns, creating your own LLM is no small feat. Join us to discuss these hurdles and discover how LLMs are transforming the way we approach AI across industries.

Mission of the Seminar

Bridging the worlds of computational linguistics, corpus linguistics, and modern AI methods like machine learning and NLP, the seminar fosters innovation, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of language and algorithms working together.
The main gathering takes place in June within the framework of the international conference Internet and Modern Society (IMS–2025), St. Petersburg, Russia, complemented by three key meetups throughout the year: on large language models (December), text mining (September), and Zakharov Day (March).
Our target audience includes linguists, data scientists, and industry professionals working with language processing and understanding technologies.

Zakharov.Day

The meetup will take place online on March 13, 2025, and kick off with two keynote presentations by Margarita Kirina (HSE) on emotions in digital literature research and Olga Mitrofanova (SPbU) on creating text corpora for corpus and computational linguistics. Additionally, we invite you to submit proposals for 10-minute lightning talks focused on early-stage research.

These lightning talks are a great platform for sharing:

Initial Findings: Early results and data from ongoing research.
Experimental Overviews: Insights into the design and methodology of experiments.
Hypothesis Presentations: Theoretical frameworks and hypotheses being tested.
Innovative Concepts: New ideas and approaches in the field of linguistics and AI.

This is a fantastic opportunity to engage with peers, gain feedback, and further refine your research based on the community's input.
