Generative AI is still a recent development, yet it is having a significant impact in the fields of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and Corpus Linguistics. A general consensus is emerging that researchers and practitioners need to have a thorough understanding of the uses of Gen AI, but it can be hard to keep track of developments in such a fast-moving field. The aim of this one-day event is to discuss current and future developments concerning AI in EAP with a specific focus on corpus linguistics and corpus approaches. Abstract submission We invite proposals for 20-minute presentations (15 minutes + 5 minutes for questions). These will offer short, thought-provoking talks on what speakers feel are essential corpus linguistic elements for EAP teacher training. We encourage early-stage work that focuses on innovation, as well as more advanced research. Please send 250-word abstracts to Hilary Nesi (h.nesi(a)coventry.ac.uk<mailto:h.nesi@coventry.ac.uk>) with 'BAALSIG COV2025' in the subject line by 23 October 2025. Notification of successful abstract submissions will be on 31 October 2025. Attendance The event fee (£20) covers attendance and a light lunch and refreshments. We will also provide links to nearby food outlets. The Journal of EAP<https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-english-for-academic-purpo…> is kindly providing sponsorship for the event for those who would like to present but haven't got the financial means to attend. If you would like to be considered for sponsorship, please include a maximum 100-word justification for sponsorship with your abstract submission.

Call for participation: Desegma-IT - Detection and Segmentation of Machine Generated Text in Italian
by Andrea Esuli 02 Oct '25

02 Oct '25

# Desegma-IT - Detection and Segmentation of Machine Generated Text in Italian ## Call for participation https://desegma.github.io/ Desegma-IT is a Shared Task of the 9th evaluation campaign organized by the EVALITA initiative. Desegma-IT’s shared tasks of Detection and Segmentation aim to stress-test the robustness of machine-generated text detectors by evaluating their performance under settings where the I.I.D. (independent and identically distributed) assumption does not hold. While state-of-the-art MGT detectors have reported high accuracy, such results often stem from unrealistic experimental settings: for example, relying on prior knowledge of the text generator, or failing to consider domain shifts and efficient fine-tuning - or post-tuning - strategies. ## Tasks * MGT Detection in the Wild * Human-Machine Text Segmentation Check the Tasks page https://desegma.github.io/tasks/ for more details about the tasks and the dataset. We support and wish for many diverse approaches to the tasks. Any kind of submission, either based on LLMs or any other approach is welcome! ## Team Registration Register your team at this google form, to receive updates on the tasks: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdAgOMmO-GK1K-w5Mn-eZQRJNTn9BQj8mQ… ## Important Dates * Data Release: September 22nd, 2025 * Evaluation Window: November 24th - December 1st * Camera Ready Deadline: February 2nd, 2026 * Workshop Date: February 26th-27th, 2026, Bari (Italy) ## Organizers Andrea Esuli, Andrea Pedrotti, Giovanni Puccetti ISTI-CNR
