Dear Corpora members, We are happy to announce that, in the context of EVALITA (the 9th evaluation campaign of NLP and Speech Tools for Italian), we are organizing Cruciverb-IT, the first shared task on crossword puzzle solving. *Task Description:* This Shared Task aims to challenge and assess NLP systems in the context of crossword solving and is organized around two subtasks: i) answering clues extracted from Italian crosswords; ii) autonomously solving Italian crossword grids. We just released the training data at the following link: https://huggingface.co/datasets/cruciverb-it/evalita2026. You can find all the information about the shared task on the official webpage: https://sites.google.com/view/cruciverbit2026 *Publication:* Participants in the shared task are invited to submit a paper to the EVALITA 2026 (https://www.evalita.it/campaigns/evalita-2026/) workshop, which will take place in Bari (Italy), 24-26 February 2026. Papers must follow the workshop submission instructions and will undergo regular peer review. *Important Dates:* -- 22nd September 2025: development data available to participants -- 24th November - 1st December 2025: Cruciverb-IT evaluation window -- 15th December 2025: assessments returned to participants -- 9th January 2026: final reports due to task participants -- 16th January 2026: final reports due to task organizers -- 7th February 2026: review deadline -- 16th February 2026: camera-ready version deadline -- 26 – 27th February 2026: final workshop in Bari (Italy) *Contact:* Mail: cruciverbit.evalita2026(a)gmail.com Website: https://sites.google.com/view/cruciverbit2026/ The Cruciverb-IT Shared Task Organizers: Cristiano Ciaccio (ItaliaNLP Lab, Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale "A.

Dear colleagues, the Methods Fair forms part of the 62nd Annual Conference of the Leibniz Institute for the German Language, carrying the motto 'German in the European language area: current status and prospects'. This call invites submissions of resources, tools and methods relating to the German language, or contrasting German with other European languages. If accepted, the content will be presented as a poster and subsequently published as a short paper. The language of presentation and publication is German. The full call follows in German: Vom 10.-12. März 2026 findet die Jahrestagung 2026 des Leibniz-Instituts für Deutsche Sprache in Mannheim statt. Das Rahmenthema der Tagung lautet „Deutsch im europäischen Sprachraum: Stand und Perspektiven“: https://www.ids-mannheim.de/aktuell/veranstaltungen/tagungen/2026/ Ein Bestandteil der Tagung wird am Mittwoch, 11. März 2026, eine Projekt- und Methodenmesse sein. Wir laden herzlich zur Einreichung von Beiträgen ein, die sich mit methodischen Ansätzen befassen, welche die Forschung im Kontext des Tagungsthemas unterstützen, ermöglichen oder kritisch reflektieren. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Ressourcen, Methoden und Werkzeuge, die vorzugsweise anhand kompakter Anwendungsstudien vorgestellt werden. Willkommen sind Beiträge, die sich auf die deutsche Sprache beziehen oder das Deutsche kontrastiv mit anderen europäischen Sprachen in Beziehung setzen. Dies umfasst unter anderem, aber nicht ausschließlich, folgende Themen: - Nutzung schriftlicher oder gesprochener Korpora des Deutschen; - Erhebung und Verwendung nicht korpus-zentrierter empirischer Sprachdaten, die Deutsch in der europäischen Sprachenlandschaft verorten; - Untersuchungen von Sprachpolitik, -diskursen oder -einstellungen, die sich mit der Rolle von Deutsch in europäischen Kontexten beschäftigen; - quantitative Analysen der deutschen Sprache in mehrsprachigen oder nicht mehrheitlich deutschsprachigen Kontexten, einschließlich Visualisierungen; - Auswirkungen von generativer KI und Large Language Models auf die Verwendung des Deutschen in sprachübergreifender Perspektive oder in multilingualen Kontexten; - innovative Werkzeuge und Methoden im Bereich des DaF-/DaZ-Unterrichts. Die Beiträge werden in Form eines Posters und ggf. einer Softwaredemonstration präsentiert. Auf der Tagung wird jeder Beitrag in einem einminütigen Schlaglicht dem Publikum vorgestellt, anschließend gibt es die Gelegenheit, die Inhalte im Rahmen einer ca. eineinhalbstündigen Postersession zu demonstrieren und Fragen zu beantworten. Ausgearbeitete Beiträge sollen im Anschluss an die Tagung bei IDSopen (https://idsopen.de/) digital nach dem Open-Access-Prinzip publiziert werden. Wir bitten um die Einreichung eines nicht anonymisierten Abstracts (max. 500 Wörter exkl. Literaturangaben; in einem editierbaren Format) sowie um die Zuordnung zu thematischen Schlagwörtern. Bitte senden Sie Ihren Vorschlag bis zum 15. Oktober 2025 an methodenmesse2026(a)ids-mannheim.de. Über die Annahme der Beiträge entscheidet das Organisationsteam bis zum 12. Dezember 2025.

The 25th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS 2026): Third Call for Contributions to the Special Tracks
by Announce 01 Oct '25

01 Oct '25

*** Third Call for Contributions to the Special Tracks *** The 25th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS 2026) May 25-29, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29ycG9yYQkJCWNvcnBv…> We welcome submissions to the Special Tracks of AAMAS 2026. AAMAS 2026 will feature five special tracks: AAAI Track, JAAMAS Track, Blue Sky Ideas Track, Demo Track, and Competitions Track, as well as the Doctoral Consortium. The AAAI Track welcomes AAAI-25 submissions rejected from the main AAAI track that are relevant to the AAMAS research community and received no reject review recommendations (all review scores are weak reject or above). The JAAMAS Track offers authors of papers recently published in the Journal of Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (JAAMAS) that have not previously appeared as full papers in an archival conference the opportunity to present their work at AAMAS 2026. The focus of the Blue Sky Ideas Track is on visionary ideas, long-term challenges, new research opportunities, and controversial debate. The Demo Track allows participants from both academia and industry to showcase their latest developments in agent-based and robotic systems. The Competitions Track is an effective mechanism for motivating researchers to enhance discussions, share knowledge, and boost the development and evaluation of theory and practice of autonomous agents and multiagent systems. Finally, AAMAS invites PhD students working in the research areas covered by AAMAS to take part in the Doctoral Consortium (DC). The DC is an opportunity to interact closely with established researchers in your field as well as other PhD students to receive feedback on your work and to get advice on managing your career. The calls for each track above and for the Doctoral Consortium, along with the respective important dates, are available on the AAMAS 2026 web site. Workshops and Tutorials Furthermore, AAMAS 2026 invites proposals for workshops and tutorials. These will be held on May 25-26, 2026, immediately before the main program of the AAMAS conference. The objectives of the AAMAS 2026 workshop program are to stimulate and facilitate discussion, interaction, and comparison of approaches, methods, and ideas related to specific topics, both theoretical and applied, in the general area of Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems. The AAMAS 2026 workshops will provide an informal setting where participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics, fostering the active exchange of ideas and supporting community development. Tutorials will be half-day long and will be in person — online/remote versions will not be accepted. A few full-day tutorials may be considered, but the proponents need to motivate their request when submitting their proposal. The calls for workshop and tutorial proposals, along with the respective important dates, are available on the AAMAS 2026 web site.
