Swiss NLP Days 2025

The Swiss NLP Days 2025 are a series of activities in 2025 about Natural Language Processing (NLP), which will take place May 13-15, 2025 in Winterthur, Switzerland. They provide a unique opportunity for everyone interested in NLP applications to connect with experts and gain insights into the current state of NLP, and they serve as a platform for NLP professionals to present their work and exchange with potential clients and other NLP experts. 

The Swiss NLP Days consist of two main events:

  • An NLP Expo for the interested public with more than 70 exhibitors which present current industrial and academic solutions in NLP.
  • A scientific conference called SwissText for researchers and NLP experts.

These two events are accompanied by an NLP Crash Course – Insightful sessions on practical applications and fundamental technologies of Natural Language Processing – throughout the year with workshops and tutorials.

The Swiss NLP Days 2025 mark the 10th anniversary of the SwissText conference, which was initiated in 2016 by NLP researchers at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW).

Webinar: Potential added-value of Artificial Intelligence-based solutions to improving the quality of care of seniors

There are many potential applications of AI in healthcare, particularly in the care of older people. This mainly refers to algorithm-based computing techniques that manage and analyze large data sets to make conclusions and predictions: from clinical decision support systems that can help detect delirium from medical records to wearable devices that can predict the risk of falls.

In this webinar, the needs and challenges of older people will be presented and defined and possible solutions based on artificial intelligence methods for specific application examples will be demonstrated.

Webinar: 12. Learn & Lunch – Challenges for SMEs: How can responsible AI be used as a competitive advantage (Deutsch)

Due to rising social expectations and new laws on the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI), it is becoming increasingly important for companies to ensure the trustworthiness and ethical acceptability of AI applications. However, instead of viewing these requirements merely as a challenge, they also offer companies the opportunity to innovate and differentiate themselves from the competition. The aim of this event is to jointly explore the business challenges in the area of responsible AI. It will also discuss how companies can proactively use these requirements to tap into new innovation opportunities and position themselves sustainably in the market.
