Mission of the Seminar

Bridging computational linguistics, corpus linguistics, and modern AI methods, the seminar fosters collaboration and a deeper understanding of how language and algorithms interact.

The main event takes place in June as part of the international conference Internet and Modern Society (IMS) in St. Petersburg, Russia.

The seminar is intended for linguists, data scientists, and industry professionals working with language technologies.

    Zakharov.Day

    A complementary meetup is held online in March and focuses on corpus-based and computational approaches to language.

    Zakharov.Day is an open forum for sharing research ideas, ongoing work, methodological insights, and applied studies in language technology.

    Zakharov.Day

    The meetup took place online on March 13, 2026. Researchers, practitioners, and students participated with short talks on corpus and computational linguistics. The event provided an opportunity to exchange perspectives, discuss current challenges, and engage with the community in an informal, focused format.
