7^th International Conference on Semantic & Natural Language Processing (SNLP 2026)

February 14 ~ 15, 2026, Chennai, India

7^th International Conference on Semantic & Natural Language Processing (SNLP 2026) brings together researchers, practitioners, and innovators to explore the rapidly evolving landscape of language technologies. With the rise of large language models, multimodal systems, and advanced semantic reasoning, NLP is undergoing one of the most transformative periods in its history. SNLP 2026 provides a global forum for presenting cutting edge research, sharing new ideas, and discussing the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of human–machine communication.

As NLP expands into new domains from conversational AI and multilingual understanding to retrieval augmented generation, responsible AI, and cognitive modelling the conference welcomes high quality contributions that push the boundaries of theory, methodology, and real world applications. SNLP 2026 encourages interdisciplinary collaboration and aims to foster meaningful dialogue that advances the science of language and inspires the next generation of breakthroughs in semantic and natural language processing..

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following

• Large Language Models (LLMs) and Foundation Models
• Multimodal NLP (Vision Language, Speech Language, Multisensory Models)
• Prompting, Fine Tuning and Adaptation Methods
