It is official! DocEng'23 - The 23rd ACM Symposium on Document Engineering is coming to University of Limerick University Of Limerick. We look forward to welcome in Limerick.ie the best minds in computer science and the document engineering field. SIGWEB ACM Queue doceng.org/doceng2023

DocEng'23 full papers deadline Monday, 17th of April🫣! DocEng seeks original research papers that focus on the design, implementation, development, management, use and evaluation of advanced systems where document and document collections play a key role! doceng.org/doceng2023/cfp

Good news everyone! DocEng'23 Full Papers Deadline Extended! Full papers abstract due: Today 17th of April 2023! Deadlines for the submission of the final full paper manuscripts has been extended to: Monday, 1st of May 2023 All times are end of the day AOE (Anywhere-on-Earth)

DocEng 2024 kicked off today with a fantastic keynote by LN Renganarayana on generative AI and its impact on document interaction. Exciting insights into current trends and future tools!

This was followed by a session on Scanning, Document Input, and Binarisation—featuring a hand-held video document scanner, innovative binarisation algorithms, and a deep dive into optimal OCR scanner resolution. #DocEng2024 #AI #OCR

Concluded the second presentation session for the day, on Data Representation and Markup, featuring mathematical markup encoding, graph exploration and visualization queries, and a catalog dataset with semi-automatic annotation. Now exploring topics for #Birdsofafeather session!

Frank Mittelbach presented the second keynote talk today. An exciting overview of the history of LaTeX with new insights on new tricks to be taught to old docs :) #LaTeX #DocEng2024

Yesterday's session concluded with two excellent sessions covering all things AI: automatic annotation, OCR correction and detection of AI-generated texts; and summarisations: assessing summarisation methods, and assessing the metrics used for summarisation!

Another great conference day today with talks related to Security and PDF Applications: efficient malware detection, and producing accessible & reusable PDFs; and Algorithms: lexical document retrieval and justification of paragraphs.

And that's a wrap for #DocEng'24! Many thanks to our excellent hosts Matt Hardy, Curtis Wigington and Monica Delgado at #Adobe, and the program chairs Steve Simske and Steve Bagley. Thanks to all the participants for the vibrant conversations! See you in 2025!
