The 15th International Conference on Computational Processing of the Portuguese Language,PROPOR 2021, was held in Fortaleza, Brazil, in March 2021. This conference brought together researchers and experts from around the world to discuss and explore the latest advancements in computational processing of the Portuguese language.

The conference featured a total of 36 full papers, along with 4 short papers, which were carefully reviewed and selected from 88 submissions. These papers were organized into topical sections, covering various aspects of computational processing of Portuguese.

The first section, "Speech Processing," focused on the analysis and processing of speech signals, including speech recognition, speech synthesis, and speech emotion recognition. The papers in this section explored innovative techniques and algorithms for improving the accuracy and robustness of speech recognition systems, as well as developing new models for speech synthesis and emotion recognition.

The second section, "Resources and Evaluation," dealt with the development and evaluation of resources for Portuguese language processing. The papers in this section discussed the creation of corpora, lexical resources, and other linguistic resources that can be used to enhance the performance of Portuguese language processing systems. The authors also presented methods and tools for evaluating the quality and usefulness of these resources.

The third section, "Natural Language Processing Applications," explored the use of Portuguese language processing in various domains, such as healthcare, education, and tourism. The papers in this section presented case studies and applications of Portuguese language processing in these fields, highlighting the benefits and challenges of using these systems.

The fourth section, "Semantics," focused on the study of meaning and interpretation in the Portuguese language. The papers in this section explored the use of semantic technologies, such as semantic networks and ontologies, to enhance the understanding and representation of Portuguese language data. The authors also discussed the challenges and opportunities of integrating semantic information into Portuguese language processing systems.

The fifth section, "Natural Language Processing Tasks," covered a wide range of tasks related to Portuguese language processing, such as text mining, sentiment analysis, and information extraction. The papers in this section presented innovative approaches and algorithms for performing these tasks, as well as evaluating the performance of different approaches.

The sixth section, "Multilinguality," explored the challenges and opportunities of processing multiple languages in the context of Portuguese language processing. The papers in this section discussed the use of multilingual resources, cross-lingual transfer learning, and multilingual models for improving the performance of Portuguese language processing systems.

Overall, the 15th International Conference on Computational Processing of the Portuguese Language,PROPOR 2021, was a successful event that brought together researchers and experts from diverse fields to discuss and explore the latest advancements in computational processing of the Portuguese language. The conference proceedings will serve as a valuable resource for future research and development in this area.
