*PhD position in Psycholinguistics*
*
The Language Science and Technology department at Saarland University
invites excellent students holding a master's degree to pursue a PhD (3
years) in the field of Psycholinguistics. You will join Vera Demberg’s
lab, which works at the interfact of the highly interdisciplinary and
fast-paced fields of psycholinguistics and computational linguistics.
What is the focus of the project?
When humans read and listen to language, they construct rich mental
representations of the presented information. A crucial element of these
representations is the construction of discourse relations:
semantic-pragmatic links such as cause-consequenceand contrast.
Comprehenders can make use of many different types of information to
construct discourse relations, such as connectives (e.g., because, but),
or even visual information such as gesture (e.g., two hands on opposing
side of the body to signal on the one hand / on the other hand).
However, we know little about what other cues signal discourse
relations, and whether languages differ in the type of cues they contain
and the effects of these cues.
The position will be funded as part of the Collaborative Research Centre
1102, project B2 “Cognitive Modelling of Information Density for
Discourse Relations”. The goal of the project is to develop models that
explain how readers and listeners can effectively make sense of
discourse during online and offline processing. This is done by
examining how discourse signals influence discourse processing and
comprehension, at the level of linguistic cues, speech cues and gestural
cues.The project adopts a multi-method approach, combining methods such
as reading time studies, comprehension studies and acceptability studies.
What we offer you
*
The position is intended to begin in April 2025 (start-date is
negotiable in both directions, i.e. earlier start as soon as Jan
2025 or a later start are possible).
*
Salary determined according to the German TVöD (Tarifvertrag für den
öffentlichen Dienst) and is classified in salary group/level E13, 75%.
*
30 holidays per year, based on full-time employment; in addition, we
honor the German public holidays.
*
Enrollment in a personal pension scheme to which both employer and
employee pay a monthly contribution.
*
Access to state-of-the art research and training facilities and a
generous conference and travel budget.
*
Immersion in an interdisciplinary community made up of cognitive and
computational researchers.
What qualities does the successful applicant bring?
*
A finished Master’s degree in a relevant field, such as linguistics,
psycholinguistics, experimental psychology, cognitive science, data
science, or a related discipline.
*

Dear Corpora list members,
As part of the EPSRC UK ReproHum project, PI Prof. Anya Belz (DCU/Adapt), Co-I Prof. Ehud Reiter (University of Aberdeen), RF Dr Craig Thomson (DCU/Adapt & University of Aberdeen), we are performing a survey of NLP and ML researchers’ experience and views of reproducibility.
We have sufficient responses from NLP researchers, and are now looking only for the ML researchers (including students) who do not primarily work in NLP. We would like to hear from as many researchers as possible , not just those who work on evaluation!
If you completed a similar survey in 2022 we would still like you to complete this one, we are interested in the differences between then and now.
We would be most grateful if you are able to spend 5-10 minutes taking part in the survey, it can be accessed via the below link:

OVERVIEW
ACL 2025 invites the submission of long and short papers featuring
substantial, original, and unpublished research in all aspects of
Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. ACL 2025 has
a goal of a diverse technical program--in addition to traditional
research results, papers may contribute negative findings, survey an
area, announce the creation of a new resource, argue a position, report
novel linguistic insights derived using existing computational
techniques, and reproduce, or fail to reproduce, previous results. As in
recent years, some of the presentations at the conference will be of
papers accepted by the Transactions of the ACL (TACL) and by the
Computational Linguistics (CL) journals.
Papers submitted to ACL 2025, but not selected for the main conference,
will also automatically be considered for publication in the Findings of
the Association of Computational Linguistics.
PAPER SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Papers may be submitted to the ARR 2025 February cycle. Papers that have
received reviews and a meta-review from ARR (whether from the ARR 2025
February cycle or an earlier ARR cycle) may be committed to ACL 2025 via
the conference commitment site (TBA).
SUBMISSION TOPICS
ACL 2025 aims to have a broad technical program. Relevant topics for the
conference include, but are not limited to, the following areas (in
alphabetical order):
* Computational Social Science and Cultural Analytics
* Dialogue and Interactive Systems
* Discourse and Pragmatics
* Efficient/Low-Resource Methods for NLP
* Ethics, Bias, and Fairness

* Summarization
* Syntax: Tagging, Chunking and Parsing
* Special Theme: Generalization of NLP Models
ACL 2025 Theme Track: Generalization of NLP Models
Following the success of the ACL 2020-2024 Theme tracks, we are happy to
announce that ACL 2025 will have a new theme with the goal of reflecting
and stimulating discussion about the current state of development of the
field of NLP.
Generalization is crucial for ensuring that models behave robustly,
reliably, and fairly when making predictions on data different from
their training data. Achieving good generalization is critically
important for models used in real-world applications, as they should
emulate human-like behavior. Humans are known for their ability to
generalize well, and models should aspire to this standard.
The theme track invites empirical and theoretical research and position
and survey papers reflecting on the Generalization of NLP Models. The
possible topics of discussion include (but are not limited to) the
following:
* How can we enhance the generalization of NLP models across various
dimensions--compositional, structural, cross-task, cross-lingual,
cross-domain, and robustness?
* What factors affect the generalization of NLP models?
* What are the most effective methods for evaluating the
generalization capabilities of NLP models?
* While Large Language Models (LLMs) significantly enhance the
generalization of NLP models, what are the key limitations of LLMs in
this regard?
The theme track submissions can be either long or short. We anticipate
having a special session for this theme at the conference and a Thematic
Paper Award in addition to other categories of awards.
TWO-STAGE REVIEW: SUBMISSION TO ARR, COMMITMENT TO ACL 2025
ACL 2025 will use ACL Rolling Review [7] (ARR) as a reviewing system,
but final decisions will be made by the conference. Both submissions of
articles for review and commitment of reviewed articles to the
conference will be performed via the Open Review [8] platform.
Specifically, authors will follow a two-step process:
* Authors submit articles to ARR, where submissions receive reviews
and meta-reviews from ARR reviewers and action editors;
* Authors commit their reviewed articles to a publication venue (e.g.,
ACL 2025), where Senior Area Chairs and Program Chairs make acceptance
decisions from the ARR reviews and meta-reviews.
ACL 2025 has chosen this approach in coordination with *CL 2024
conferences, which are adopting the same procedure and a coordinated
submission plan to allow maximum flexibility during their submission
periods for the authors. At each cycle, after a paper has been fully
reviewed, authors have the option to commit their paper to a conference
or revise and resubmit for another round of reviews.
The reviewing process will continue to be double-blind. Reviewers will
not see authors, nor will authors see reviewers, and reviews on ARR will
not be made publicly visible. However, authors will be given the option
through ARR to make their anonymized submitted articles publicly
visible.
MANDATORY REVIEWING WORKLOAD
AS THE PACE OF RESEARCH IN THE FIELD CONTINUES TO INCREASE, WE NEED TO
STRENGTHEN THE COMMITMENT TO REVIEWING FOR EACH PAPER SUBMISSION. DURING
THE ARR SUBMISSION PROCESS, AUTHORS WILL BE REQUIRED TO SPECIFY WHICH
CO-AUTHORS ARE COMMITTING TO COVER REVIEWING IN THIS REVIEWING CYCLE.
PLEASE SEE THE NEW ARR POLICY REGARDING REVIEWING WORKLOAD HERE. AS THIS
IS AN ARR-WIDE POLICY FOR ALL *CL CONFERENCES, QUESTIONS OR
CLARIFICATIONS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO ARR DIRECTLY.

content (up to 9 pages for long papers, up to 5 pages for short papers)
to address reviewers' comments.
Following the ACL and ARR policies [23], there is no anonymity period
requirement.
At the time of submission to ARR, authors will be asked to select a
preferred venue (e.g., ACL 2025). This is used only to calculate
acceptance rates. Authors who selected ACL 2025 as a preferred venue
when submitting to ARR may choose not to commit to ACL 2025 after
receiving their reviews, and authors who selected a preferred venue
other than ACL 2025 when submitting to ARR are still welcome to commit
to ACL 2025.
Presentation at the Conference
All accepted papers must be presented at the conference to appear in the
proceedings. The conference will include both in-person and virtual
presentation options. Papers without at least one presenting author
registered by the early registration deadline may be subject to desk
rejection. Long and short papers will be presented orally or as posters
as determined by the program committee. While short papers will be
distinguished from long papers in the proceedings, there will be no
distinction in the proceedings between papers presented orally and
papers presented as posters.

IberLEF 2025 -- Call for Task Proposals
=================================
IberLEF (the Iberian Language Evaluation Forum) is a shared evaluation
campaign of Natural Language Processing systems in Spanish and other
Iberian languages, whose 2025 edition will be held as part of the 41th
International Conference of the Spanish Society for Natural Language
Processing (SEPLN). The 2025 edition of the SEPLN conference will take
place in Zaragoza, Spain.
The goal of IberLEF is to encourage the research community to organize
competitive text processing, understanding and generation tasks, with the
aim of defining new research challenges and advancing the state of the art
in Natural Language Processing challenges involving at least one of the
following Iberian languages: Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Basque or
Galician. Researchers and practitioners from all areas of Natural Language
Processing and related communities are invited to submit task proposals
that fit IberLEF goals by December 22, 2024.
