**NEW**  GeCKo was turned into an online event in light of COVID-19. Pre-recorded keynotes will be available from May 11 on. Registration is free. See the website for more information.


DESCRIPTION

Integrating generic and contextual knowledge remains a challenging task in Computational Linguistics and interfacing fields. While current data-driven models excel in capturing broad regularities, they can fail to apply this information to specific situations. For the GeCKo symposium we seek contributions dealing with this issue, at the crossroads of Computational Linguistics, Machine Learning, Linguistics, and Cognitive Science; including areas such as Language and Vision, and Machine Translation.
