    1. Goal

The way we look at the lexicon has changed dramatically over the last 
few decades. While in the past being considered as an appendix to 
grammar, the lexicon has now moved to the center stage. Indeed, there is 
hardly any task in NLP that can be conducted without it. Also, many new 
proposals have emerged during the last few years. Living in a 
fast-moving world, it is hard for anyone to stay on top of the wave. 
Hence the reason for organizing an event like this.

The *goal* of this workshop is to provide builders and users of lexical 
resources (researchers in NLP, psychologists, computational 
lexicographers) a forum to share their knowledge and needs concerning 
the construction, organization, and use of a lexicon by people (lexical 
access) and machines (NLP, IR, data mining).

Like in the past, we invite researchers to address unsolved problems 
concerning the lexicon, by considering this time, however, also Large 
Language Models (LLMs). More precisely, we would like to explore their 
potential for building and using lexical resources as well as their 
ability to deal with the cognitive aspects of the lexicon.

We solicit contributions including, but not limited to, the topics 
listed below, topics, which can be considered from any of the following 
points of view:

  * traditional-, computational- or corpus linguistics,
  * neuro- or psycholinguistics (tip of the tongue problem, word
    associations),
  * mathematics (vector-based approaches, graph theory, small-world
    problems), etc.


    2.Possible Topics

  * The potential of Large Language Models for the creation and use of
    lexical resources;
  * Organization, i.e., structure of the lexicon;
  * The meaning of words and how to reveal it;
  * Analysis of the conceptual input given by a dictionary user;
  * Methods for crafting dictionaries or indexes;
  * Creation of new types of dictionaries;
  * Dictionary access (navigation and search strategies), interface issues

    unlimited references. These are intended to be reports of original
    research.
  * Short papers:  may consist of up to four (4) pages of content, plus
    unlimited references. Appropriate short paper topics include
    preliminary results, application notes, descriptions of work in
    progress, etc.

Dual submission policy: papers may NOT be submitted to the workshop if 
they are or will be concurrently submitted to another meeting or 
publication.

Submissions must be anonymous, electronic, and in PDF format. They must 
be made via SOFTCONF: _
