Opening

**Title:** Deep Semantics **Chair:** James Pustejovsky **Description:** This talk will discuss symbolic representations of sentences in context, focusing on abstract meaning representations (AMR), examining their capability for capturing certain aspects of meaning. A focus will be how AMR’s can be expanded to encompass figurative language, the recovery of implicit arguments and relations between events. These examples will be in English, and indeed some features of AMR are English-centric. Uniform Meaning Representations, a multi-sentence annotation scheme that is revising AMRs to make them more suitable for other languages, especially low resource languages will be introduced. UMRs include more formal logical scope, number, tense, aspect and modality as well as temporal relations. The talk will conclude with a discussion of ways in which these meaning representations can be enriched even more, by mapping to Wikidata Qnodes or through accessing the rich logical representations present in VerbNet, and thereby provide additional benefit to challenging applications.

**Title:** NLP in a developing economy **Chair:** Chengqing Zong **Description:** NLP researches in developing economies are in many aspects unique compared to those in developed countries. For developing economies with middle and low incomes such as the Philippines, most NLP work focuses on relevant and useful applications for the immediate betterment of society, and involves minority languages of underrepresented regions that are usually low-resource. On the other hand, most of the global NLP research work has been focused on the major languages of the world, especially those of developed countries. Our works contribute to the advancement of research in multi-linguality for Philippine languages, adding to the complexity of NLP application development. Domain areas of these applications include health, disaster risk reduction management and climate change, and gender.
Moreover, organizational and collaborative efforts provide a critical infrastructure in building this
network of Philippine NLP researchers.

### THE CONFERENCE WE KNOW AND WE WANT.
**COLING**, the International Conference on Computational Linguistics, is one of the premier conferences for the natural language processing and computational linguistics.

First established in 1965, the biennial COLING conference is held in diverse parts of the globe and attracts participants from both top-ranked research centers and emerging countries. Today, the most important developments in our field are taking place not only in universities and academic research institutes but also in industrial research departments including tech-startups. COLING provides opportunities for all these communities to showcase their exciting discovery.

In fall of 2022, COLING will be held in Gyeongju in a hybrid format. All participants can either present at the venue site or join virtually. As more people get vaccinated, we are happy to provide safer environments for our colleagues. We believe that COLING 2022 will be one of the conferences, free from the pandemic. The hybrid format gives presenters and sponsors a valuable opportunity to promote their companies in both an online and in-person venue. For the first time in a long time, customers can interact with their sponsor's products first-hand. The online venue, too, gives sponsors the chance to network with those unable to attend the in-person session.

The hybrid format ultimately lends itself to greater exposure for our sponsors: COLING2022 will let you reach more potential partners and customers than ever before!
