15 Mar '26

The 2st Workshop on DHOW: Diffusion of Harmful Content on Online Web Workshop The workshop will be conducted in a *hybrid* format to ensure maximum participation, accommodating attendees both *online* and in person. Submission deadline: *July 11 2025 AOE* *Workshop site*: https://dhow-workshop.github.io/2025/ *Co-located with ACMMM 2025* https://acmmm2025.org/ <https://lrec-coling-2024.org/> Dublin, Ireland, 27-31 October 2024 *Important Dates* Submission deadline: extended to *July 11, 2025* Notification of acceptance: August 01, 2025 Camera-ready papers due: August 11, 2025 Workshop date: October 27/28, 2025 *Workshop Description* With the advancement of digital technologies and gadgets, online content is easily accessible. At the same time, harmful content also gets spread. There are different harmful content available on different platforms in multiple languages. The topic of harmful content is broad and covers multiple research directions. But from the user’s aspect, they are affected by them all. Often, it is studied individually, like misinformation and hate speech. Research has been done on one platform, monolingual, on a particular issue. It leads to harmful content spreaders switching platforms and languages to reach the user base. Harmful is not limited to social media but also news media. Spreader shares harmful content in posts, news articles, comments, and hyperlinks. So, there is a need to study the harmful content by combining cross-platform, language, multimodal data and topics. We will bring the research on harmful content under one umbrella so that research on different topics (hate speech, misinformation, disinformation, self-harm, offensive content, etc.) can bring some novel methods and recommendations for users, leveraging text analysis with image, audio, and video recognition to detect harmful content in diverse formats. The workshop will cover the ongoing issue of war or elections in 2025. We believe this workshop will provide a unique opportunity for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas, share latest developments, and collaborate on addressing the challenges associated with harmful contents spread across the Web. We expect that the workshop will generate insights and discussions that will help advance the field of societal artificial intelligence (AI) for the development of safer internet. In addition to attracting high quality research contributions to the workshop, one of the aims of the workshop is to mobilise the researchers working on the related areas to form a community. *Submissions Topics* •Studying different types of harmful content •Computational fact-checking & Misinformation Detection •Role of Generative AI in Mitigating Harmful Content •Harassment, Bullying, and Hate Speech Detection •Explainable AI for Harmful Content Analysis •Multimodal and Multilingual Harmful Content Detection such as fake news, spam, and troll detection. •Deepfake and Synthetic Media •Ethical & Societal Implications of AI in Content Moderation •Both Qualitative and Quantitative study on harmful content •Psychological effects of harmful content like mental health •Approaches for data collection or data annotation using multimodal large models on harmful content •User study on the effects of harmful content on human beings *Submissions* - Submission Instructions: https://dhow-workshop.github.io/2025/#call <https://dhow-workshop.github.io/2025/#call> - Submission Link: https://openreview.net/group?id=acmmm.org/ACMMM/2025/Workshop/DHOW <https://openreview.net/group?id=acmmm.org/ACMMM/2025/Workshop/DHOW> ***Workshop organizers* •Thomas Mandl (University of Hildesheim, Germany) •Haiming Liu (University of Southampton, United Kingdom) •Gautam Kishore Shahi(University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany) •Amit Kumar Jaiswal (University of Surrey, United Kingdom ) •Durgesh Nandini (University of Bayreuth, Germany) DHOW 2025

CFP: The Seventh Workshop on Teaching NLP
by ACL Announcements 04 Dec '25

04 Dec '25

The Seventh Workshop on Teaching NLP Call for Papers Educators designing Natural Language Processing (NLP) and/or Computational Linguistics (CL) courses and degree programs face unique challenges due to the rapid progress of the field, particularly with the impact of generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs). Here, the challenge is two-fold: A) courses need to keep up with the pace in terms of the content covered, while B) it will be crucial for educators to adapt the course design accordingly, acknowledging the existence and the use of LLMs by students. To support all those who are facing these challenges, we are planning a discussion-heavy one-day workshop to bring together the communities of NLP research and education, and facilitate active discussion on questions such as (but not limited to): * How can we balance technical details, linguistic background, and domain knowledge in NLP-related courses? * How do we keep the human in the loop? * How can the community support educators at different institutions and career levels? This timely seventh edition of the Teaching NLP Workshop builds on prior successful offerings [1] to tackle the most pressing issues in how to design NLP courses and bring together instructors from various backgrounds to discuss, create, and refine instructional design and material. Submission Information We invite submissions in two categories: short papers (2 pages) on teaching materials and full papers (8 pages) on original, unpublished research (both regular research papers and position papers). Format All submissions must use the official ACL LaTeX style template [2] and follow the standard ACL submission requirements [3]. References and appendices do not count against the page limit (8 pages). Limitations and ethical considerations are optional and do not count against these limits either. Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be desk-rejected without review. Submission Process For submission and the review process, we will use OpenReview. If you do not have an OpenReview account yet, make sure to create it well in advance of the deadline. This is especially important, as in some cases, the approval of the account may take some time. The reviewing process will be single-blind. Submission Link (OpenReview): tbd Submission Type 1: Short Papers on Teaching Materials We invite submissions of short papers of 1-2 pages that describe teaching materials such as curricula, course GitHub repositories, Jupyter notebooks, slides, homework, programming assignments, or projects. These short papers need not be anonymized, but will be peer-reviewed and published as part of the workshop proceedings, and presented as posters and/or demos. The associated teaching materials, while not being part of the proceedings, should be submitted in addition to the short paper. We will create a Teaching NLP repository where authors may opt in to make their materials available for reuse after the workshop. Submission Type 2: Full Papers We invite papers of up to 8 pages discussing pedagogical aspects of NLP, focusing on (but not limited to) any of the following general topics: * Tools and methodologies (e.g., teaching with code, active learning, flipped classroom) * Scaling curricula to fit large class sizes * Adapting existing curricula to incorporate new NLP advancements * Teaching online NLP courses or adjusting courses to become remote * Challenges of designing the first NLP course or related degree program at a college, university, or on a MOOC platform * Teaching heterogenous groups of students (e.g., with respect to prior experience in computer science and linguistics, with respect to their social and cultural background, etc.) * Teaching underrepresented students * Bridging the gap between academic training and industry needs * Incorporating ethics, reproducibility, and responsible practices in NLP courses * Teaching multilingual NLP Important Dates * First Call for Papers: October 15, 2025 * Paper Submission: December 19, 2025 * Notification of Acceptance: January 23, 2026 * Camera-Ready Deadline: February 3, 2026 * Teaching NLP Workshop: 1 day workshop co-located with EACL (March 24 to 29, 2026) All deadlines are 23:59 AoE (anywhere on earth).

Advance notice: ‘Statistics for linguistics with R’ bootcamp (08 – 12/07/2024)
by Magali Paquot 02 Dec '25

02 Dec '25

The Linguistics Research Unit of the Institute of Language and Communication (Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium) will be hosting Stefan Gries’s next bootcamp on statistics for linguistics with R from 08 to 12 July 2024. The ‘Statistics for linguistics with R’ bootcamp is a hands-on introduction to statistical methods for both graduate students and seasoned researchers and is loosely based on the third edition (2021) of Gries’s textbook Statistics for linguistics with R. The course is intended for linguists who already have a basic knowledge in statistics and some experience using R and who wish to improve their proficiency in statistical modeling of linguistic data. Using the open source software and programming language R, we will deal with: • fundamental aspects of fixed effects regression modeling for both numeric and binary response variables; these include exploration of data and their preparation for modeling, model formulation and selection; numerical and visual interpretation and evaluation of models; • more advanced aspects of fixed-effects regression modeling such as contrasts for ordinal predictors, orthogonal contrasts, curvature of numeric predictors, and maybe general linear hypothesis tests; • the theoretical foundations of mixed-effects regression modeling; • applications of mixed-effects modeling for both numeric and binary response variables; • tree-based methods and random forests: 'fitting' and interpreting them with importance scores, partial dependence scores, and detecting (not just capturing) interactions. The website of the bootcamp will be online in early 2024 and online registration will start on 1 March 2024, 11 am CEST. The number of participants is limited. If you would like to participate, mark the date in your diary! Contact email: magali.paquot(a)uclouvain.be<mailto:magali.paquot@uclouvain.be> Magali Paquot Convenor
