CFP: The Seventh Workshop on Teaching NLP
by ACL Announcements 16 Oct '25

16 Oct '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submissions in two categories: short papers (2 pages) on teaching materials and full papers (8 pages) on original, unpublished research (both regular research papers and position papers).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).

by Roman Klinger 15 Oct '25

15 Oct '25

** *15th Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity, Sentiment & Social Media Analysis (WASSA 2026) – 1st Call for Papers* *EACL’26, March 24–29, 2026, Rabat, Morocco, Half Day Workshop* *Background and Envisaged Scope* *Subjectivity and Sentiment Analysis has become a highly developed research area, ranging from binary classification of reviews to the detection of complex emotion structures between entities found in text. This field has expanded both on a practical level, finding numerous successful applications in business, as well as on a theoretical level, allowing researchers to explore more complex research questions related to affective computing. Its continuing importance is also shown by the interest it generates in other disciplines such as Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Marketing, Crisis Management & Digital Humanities, where it can support the study of online interactions, group dynamics, and public discourse.* *The aim of WASSA 2026 is to bring together researchers working on Subjectivity, Sentiment Analysis, Emotion Detection and Classification and their applications to other NLP or real-world tasks (e.g. public health messaging, fake news, media impact analysis, social media mining, computational literary studies) and researchers working on interdisciplinary aspects of affect computation from text. We encourage the submission of long and short research and demo papers including, but not restricted to the following topics:* * *Resources for subjectivity, sentiment, emotion and social media analysis* * *Opinion retrieval, extraction, categorization, aggregation and summarization* * *Humor, Irony and Sarcasm detection* * *Mis- and disinformation analysis and the role of affective attributes* * *Aspect and topic-based sentiment and emotion analysis* * *Analysis of stable traits of social media users, incl. personality analysis and profiling* * *Transfer learning for domain, language and genre portability of sentiment analysis* * *Modelling commonsense knowledge for subjectivity, sentiment or emotion analysis* * *Improvement of NLP tasks using subjectivity and/or sentiment analysis* * *Intrinsic and extrinsic evaluation of subjectivity and/or sentiment analysis* * *Application of theories from related fields to subjectivity and sentiment analysis* * *Multimodal emotion detection and classification* * *Social Groups analysis and their interactions in Social Media* * *Generation, detection, and evaluation of subjectivity, sentiment, and emotion in NLP tasks with LLMs* * *Risks, challenges, and ethical implications of affective uses of LLMs* * *The role of emotions in argument mining* * *Applications of sentiment and emotion mining* * *Public sentiments and communication patterns of public health emergencies.* * *The analysis of pretrained small and large language models.* *Finally, this year we also propose a special trackon multilinguality and socio-cultural adaptation to lesser-resourced languages/communities. * *In general, we particularly invite contributions from young researchers, work on low-resource languages, multilingual methods, and interdisciplinary work.* *Important dates* * *December 17, 2025: Direct submission deadline* * *January 2, 2026: ARR submission deadline* * *January 23, 2026: Notification of acceptance* * *February 3, 2026: Camera Ready Papers due* * *March 24–29, 2026: EACL with WASSA workshop on one of the days.* *Shared tasks* *We do not offer a shared task this year.* *Papers* *At WASSA 2026, we will accept three types of submissions:* *For the regular research track we accept long& shortpapers.* *Additionally, we accept double submissions and double commitment of ARR reviews in parallel to WASSA and another venue. Please note that you must immediately withdraw your paper from WASSA if you decide to publish it elsewhere. Check with the other venue if they also allow double submissions.* *Longpapers may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, with any number of additional pages of references. A- subset of these papers will be presented orally.* *Shortpapers may consist of up to four (4) pages of content, with any number of additional pages of references. Most of these papers will be presented as posters.* *Also this year there is an industry track, for which we accept demo papers. Demo papersdescribe system demonstrations, ranging from early prototypes to mature production-ready systems. Commercial sales and marketing activities are not appropriate for this track. Demo papers may consist of up to six (6) pages of content, these will be presented as a poster and should include a live demonstration.* *Submission procedure and templates* *Submissions without reviews can be done directly through our Open Review side (https://openreview.net/group?id=eacl.org/EACL/2026/Workshop/WASSA).* *Authors who received reviews already through the ACL Rolling Review process are invited to commit their reviewed paper to WASSA. To do so, please go to our ARR Website and click on “ACL 2026 Workshop WASSA Commitment Submission”. You will then need to add the title, the URL to the ARR submission with reviews + metareview, and other information.* *Both long and short papers must be anonymised for double-blind reviewing, must follow the ACL Author Guidelines <https://www.aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=ACL_Author_Guidelines>, and must use the ACL templates (https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files). The submitting author must have an OpenReview profile* *Optional Supplementary Materials: Appendices, Software and Data* *ARR encourages the submission of these supplementary materials to improve the reproducibility of results, and to enable authors to provide additional information that does not fit in the paper. Supplementary materials may include appendices, software or data. For example, pre processing decisions, model parameters, feature templates, lengthy proofs or derivations, pseudocode, sample system inputs/outputs, and other details that are necessary for the exact replication of the work described in the paper can be put into appendices. However, if the pseudo-code or derivations or model specifications are an important part of the contribution, or if they are important for the reviewers to assess the technical correctness of the work, they should be a part of the main paper, and not appear in appendices. Reviewers are not required to consider material in appendices. Appendices should come after the references in the submitted pdf, but do not count towards the page limit. Software should be submitted as a single .tgz or .zip archive, and data as a separate single .tgz or .zip archive. Supplementary materials must be fully anonymized to preserve the two-way anonymized reviewing policy and must not exceed 100MB.* *Organizers* * Jeremy Barnes, University of the Basque Country Valentin Barriere, University of Chile Orphée De Clercq, Ghent University Roman Klinger, University of Bamberg Célia Nouri, Inria and Sciences Po Debora Nozza, Bocconi University Pranaydeep Singh, Ghent University Contact Email: wassaworkshop(a)gmail.com Website: https://workshop-wassa.github.io/ * -- Prof. Dr. Roman Klinger (he/him) Professor for Fundamentals of Natural Language Processing Faculty Information Systems and Applied Computer Sciences (WIAI) Otto-Friedrich-University Bamberg Office: Room 02.10; Gutenbergstr. 13; 96050 Bamberg; Germany Phone: +49 951 863 3320 Mail:roman.klinger@uni-bamberg.de WWW: https://www.uni-bamberg.de/nlproc/ https://www.romanklinger.de/

We invite organizers to propose either half-day or one-day long workshops held between June 8 and 12, 2026, at the AVI2026 venue. Workshop proposals must be submitted using the following form: https://forms.gle/v7gEKFchxAGzMJtj8 Workshop Chairs - Daniela Fogli, Università di Brescia, Italy (daniela.fogli(a)unibs.it) - Kyle Montague, Northumbria University, UK (kyle.montague(a)northumbria.ac.uk) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18th International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces (AVI) 2026 Interactive Creativity: Agencies, Interfaces, and Ethics Since its first edition in 1992, AVI has become an influential space for encounters among scholars and practitioners interested in interfaces, interactions, and experiences. Rooted in pioneering research on visual interfaces characterized by a distinctive attention to the human factor, the conference has evolved across the different waves of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). It has addressed the pragmatic and hedonic needs of heterogeneous groups of users up to the current challenge of self-actualization. Creativity is a core behavior that leads to the realization of a person’s full potential and the explosion of generative AI presents both opportunities and challenges to human creativity. They address fundamental issues related to agencies, interfaces, and ethics. AVI 2026 will take place in San Servolo, a small island of Venice. This delicate and fragile ecosystem provides the ideal venue to reflect, reframe, and speculate about creative solutions to more sustainable and rewarding technological futures. AVI is an International Conference considering the nationality of participants, authors, and organizing committees.
