The 12th International Conference on Natural Language Generation (INLG 2019) organised by the Artificial Intelligence Research Center of Japan (AIRC, AIST), will be held at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) in Tokyo, Japan, October 29 - November 1, 2019. The conference takes place immediately prior to EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019, which will be held in Hong Kong starting November 3.

We invite the submission of long and short papers, as well as system demonstrations, related to all aspects of Natural Language Generation (NLG), including data-to-text, concept-to-text, text-to-text and vision-to-text approaches. Accepted papers will be presented as oral talks or posters.

The event is organised under the auspices of the Special Interest Group on Natural Language Generation (SIGGEN) of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL).
