The Depling conference responds to the growing need for a conference dedicated
to dependency-based approaches in linguistics and natural language processing.
In the past decade, dependencies, directed labeled graph structures
representing hierarchical relations between morphemes, words or semantic units,
have become very widespread in natural language processing. However, the
linguistic significance of these structures often remains vague, and the need
to discuss the theoretical and formal foundations of dependency-based concepts
is felt strongly by many people working in these domains. Previous Depling
conferences were held in Barcelona 2011 and in Prague 2013.
