Welcome to LANTERN 2020, The Second Workshop Beyond Vision and Language: Integrating Real-World Knowledge, co-located with COLING 2020. Building on the success of the first edition co-located with EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019, the second edition aims to bring together and interconnect researchers focusing on language from a multimodal perspective. In particular, the main goal of the workshop is to promote and foster research which uses machine- and deep-learning techniques to interconnect language with vision and other modalities by leveraging some external knowledge. By encouraging contributions exploiting very diverse sources of external knowledge (knowledge graphs, fixed and dynamic environments, cognitive and neuroscience data, etc.), the workshop is open to all research directions which acknowledge the importance of knowledge in acquiring, using, and evaluating language in real-world settings.
