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submissions in two categories: short papers (2 pages) on teaching materials and full papers (8 pages) on original, unpublished research (both regular research papers and position papers).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 01 Dec '25

01 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

**** We apologize for the multiple copies of this email. In case you are already registered to the next webinar, you do not need to register again. **** Dear colleague, We are happy to announce the next webinar in the Language Technology webinar series organized by the HiTZ research center (Basque Center for Language Technology, http://hitz.eus). We are organizing one seminar every month. Next webinar: Speaker: Goran Glavaš (Universität Würzburg) Title: Improving Multilingual Abilities of (Different Types of) Language Models Date: Thursday, December 4, 2025 - 15:00 CET Summary: Language models tend to excel in languages they see the most during (pre)training—leaving low-resource languages at a stark disadvantage. But what if we could boost performance without throwing (much) more data or compute at the problem? In this talk, I’ll present a set of resource-lean (read: “cheap”) strategies that enhance multilingual language understanding and generation in low-resource settings. I’ll show how conceptually effective knowledge transfer techniques—not just bigger models—can improve multilingual capabilities across three major fronts: (1) standard text-based LLMs, (2) vision-language models, and (3) code language models. The takeaway? Scaling isn’t the only answer: for truly inclusive multilingual language technology, we need stronger inductive biases and more conceptual innovation. Bio: Goran Glavaš is a Full Professor for Natural Language Processing at the University of Würzburg (Germany), Center for AI and Data Science (CAIDAS). His research focuses on multilingual language understanding and cross-lingual transfer, vision-and-language models, and trustworthiness of (multilingual) language models. He has (co-)authored over 120 publications in NLP and IR, regularly publishing at top-tier venues (ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, EACL, TACL, SIGIR, ECIR). He received the best long paper award at EACL 2021 and outstanding paper awards at EACL 2024 and ACL 2024. He served as an Editor-in-Chief of the ACL Rolling Review (ARR) and regularly serves as (Senior) Area Chair for top-tier NLP conferences.

PhD student in AI Security at Linköping University

Large language model (LLM) agents represent the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, integrating LLMs with external tools and memory components to execute complex reasoning and decision-making tasks. These agents are increasingly deployed in domains such as healthcare, finance, cybersecurity, and autonomous vehicles, where they interact dynamically with external knowledge sources, retain memory across sessions, and autonomously generate responses and actions. While their adoption brings transformative benefits, it also exposes them to new and critical security risks that remain poorly understood. Among these risks, memory poisoning attacks pose a severe and immediate threat to the reliability and security of LLM agents. These attacks exploit the agent’s ability to store, retrieve, and adapt knowledge over time, leading to biased decisions, manipulation of real-time behavior, security breaches, and system-wide failures. The goal of this project is to develop a theoretical foundation for understanding and mitigating memory poisoning in LLM agents. This position, funded by the Swedish Research Council (VR), offers an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of AI security, tackling some of the most pressing challenges in the field.
