NLDB 2026: 31st Annual
International Conference on Natural Language & Information
Systems
17-19 June 2026 | Norwegian University of Science and
Technology | Trondheim, Norway

Objectives
Recent advances in AI have increased the expectations for users
when it comes to information access systems.
With powerful LLMs, users engage with information using natural
language instead of artificial query languages.
At the same time, this raises not only technical but also
ethical concerns, such as sustainability, reliability, and
privacy.
NLDB has established itself as a venue to discuss precisely the
intersection of natural language and information systems.
We invite researchers and practitioners to contribute.
