Large-scale computational approaches to evolution and change prospects and pitfalls | Change Is Key!

A first workshop on Large-scale computational approaches to evolution and change will be held at Evolang XV, Madison US. We aim to bring together language evolution, cutting-edge NLP, and LLM-driven approaches, to critically discuss novel opportunities of large-scale empirical approaches to language evolution and change.

Change Is Key!
