The School of Computer Science recently hosted the 25th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering

The School of Computer Science recently hosted the 25th ACM Symposium on Document Engineering. This symposium looks at computers can be used to process documents and covers everything from Large Language Models to text layout. 

This year the conference had an additional focus on Document Trust and Security, which underpinneed the two keynotes. The first keynote was given by Debora Weber-Wulff (HTW Berlin) on 'Detecting and Documenting Plagiarism and GenAI Use' and Charles Nicholas (UMBC) led the second on 'Issues in Document Security'. Sirisha Velamplli (LTIMindTree) led a tutorial on 'LLM-asssisted Automatic Feature Extraction for Document Understanding and Analytics' while a team from the LaTeX project led an excellent tutorial on 'Well-Tagged PDF and Universal Accessibility with LaTeX'.

DocEng'25 was attended by around 45 delegates from across five continents and the symposium was held within the School of Computer Science itself, making use of the recently refurbished facilities available for staff and student use.
