by Roman Klinger 12 Nov '25

12 Nov '25

*15th Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity, Sentiment & Social Media Analysis (WASSA 2026) – 2nd 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/

2nd CfP SIGHUM (LaTeCH-CLfL) 2026 Workshop at EACL 2026
by Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb 11 Nov '25

11 Nov '25

SIGHUM (LaTeCH-CLfL) 2026 The 10th Joint SIGHUM Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, Humanities and Literature to be held at EACL in March 2026 in Rabat, Morocco as a two-day workshop with one on-site and one online day Second Call for Papers (with apologies for cross-posting) Organizers: Diego Alves, Yuri Bizzoni, Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb, Anna Kazantseva, Janis Pagel, Stan Szpakowicz SIGHUM (LaTeCH-CLfL) 2026 is the tenth in a series of meetings for NLP researchers who work with data from the broadly understood arts, humanities and social sciences, and for specialists in those disciplines who apply NLP techniques in their work. The workshop continues a long tradition of annual events which also host the SIGHUM business meetings. Workshop site https://sighum.wordpress.com/events/sighum-latech-clfl-2026/ Important dates Submission deadline: January 5th, 2026 Notification of acceptance: February 3rd, 2026 Camera-ready paper due: February 10th, 2026 Description The community of the broadly understood Digital Humanities (DH) has witnessed remarkable growth and transformation, fueled by the rapid advancements in NLP. There is a steady interest in, and a high demand for, NLP methods of semantic and structural annotation, intelligent linking, discovery, querying, cleaning and visualization of primary and secondary data. Even so, the heterogeneous landscape of the DH with their diverse, often multi-lingual or multi-modal sources can be a challenge for NLP. Consider, for example, the growing interest in historical language data and in under-resourced languages. There are unique obstacles in developing comprehensive language models in aid of the linguistic diversity in DH. The handling of noisy and non-standard data, and the need for domain adaptation and intensive annotation, continue to be at the forefront of research effort in the community. The literary studies, which have witnessed substantial progress in the application of NLP methods, bring their own similar problems. Navigating forms of creative expression requires more than the typical information-seeking tools. A case in point might be the study of literature of a certain period, author or sub-genre, the recognition of certain literary devices, or the quantitative analysis of poetry. The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) expands the DH toolkit. There is support for automatic text cleaning and annotation, creation of semantic resources, analysis of narrative, genre and literary style, and linking information across sources. LLMs can support historical or low-resource languages, particularly when complemented with domain-specific fine-tuning and careful evaluation. One must note, however, that even with careful adaptation, curation and attention to interpretability, LLM outputs remain prone to errors, biases and lack of transparency; that requires rigorous assessment to ensure their suitability for scholarly research. There is growing emphasis on the importance of explanation in NLP models. That applied equally to DH, whose various domains enjoy the effect of NLP. Transparency and clarity of the results are critical if one is to accept the processed data, and gain valuable insights. That is why one must carefully consider a balance between raw performance scores and interpretability, in keeping with the specific research objectives. For many years now, this broad research context has drawn together NLP experts, data specialists and researchers in Digital Humanities who work in and across their domains. Our long-standing series of workshops has shown that cross-disciplinary exchange supports work in the Humanities, Social Sciences and Cultural Heritage communities. It encourages the Computational Linguistics community to build rich, effective tools and, above all, interpretable models. Topics Our workshops attract original work on a wide variety of topics, including – but as usual not restricted to – these: adaptation of NLP tools to Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, Humanities and literature; automatic error detection and cleaning of textual data; complex annotation schemas, tools and interfaces; creation (fully- or semi-automatic) of semantic resources; creation and analysis of social networks of literary characters; discourse and narrative analysis/modelling, notably in literature; emotion analysis for the humanities and for literature; generation of literary narrative, dialogue or poetry; identification and analysis of literary genres; information/knowledge modelling in the Humanities, Social Sciences and Cultural Heritage; interpretability of large language models output for DH-related tasks (explainable AI); linking and retrieving information from different sources, media, and domains; low-resource and historical language processing; modelling dialogue literary style for generation; profiling and authorship attribution; search for scientific and/or scholarly literature; work with linguistic variation and non-standard or historical use of language Information for authors We invite papers on original, unpublished work in the topic areas of the workshop. We will consider long papers, short papers and system descriptions (demos). We also welcome position papers. Long papers, presenting completed work, may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content plus additional pages of references (just two if possible -:). The final camera-ready versions of accepted long papers will be given one additional page of content (up to 9 pages), so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account. A short paper / demo presenting work in progress or the description of a system may consist of up to four (4) pages of content plus additional pages of references (one if you can). Upon acceptance, short papers will be given five (5) content pages in the proceedings. A position paper — clearly marked as such — should not exceed eight (8) pages including references. All submissions are to follow the *ACL paper styles (for LaTeX / Overleaf and MS Word) available at https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files <https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files>. Papers should be submitted electronically, only in PDF, via the LaTeCH-CLfL 2026 submission website on the SoftConf pages (we will publish the link as soon as we have it). Reviewing will be double-blind. Please do not include the authors’ names and affiliations, or any references to Web sites, project names, acknowledgements and so on — anything that immediately reveals the authors’ identity. Please keep references to your own work at a reasonable minimum, and do not use anonymous citations. In accordance with the EACL 2026 policy on multiple submission, we will not consider any paper that is under review in a journal or another conference at the time of submission. During the review period, papers submitted to our workshop cannot also be submitted elsewhere.

This is by far the highest number of submissions (around 50% more than the previous highest number) in the 25 years of AAMAS. AAMAS 2026 invites submissions to its AAAI track. We are looking for AAAI-26 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). Authors are expected to update their manuscripts to address the comments of the AAAI reviewers and reformat them using the AAMAS style. All submitted material will be checked for correctness with AAAI and reviewed by members of the AAMAS program committee. We expect to accept only a fraction of the submitted manuscripts and will provide only short meta-reviews to explain the accept/reject decisions. The AAMAS submission must be based on a rejected AAAI-26 submission • that was submitted to the main AAAI track; and • that did not receive any reject review (all review scores are 5 or above); and • that is relevant to the AAMAS research community. The submission guidelines for the AAMAS 2026 Main Technical Track, available here: https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/submission-instructions/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29ycG9yYQkJCWNvcnBv…> , apply to the AAAI track with the exceptions given below: Authors must submit in one PDF document: • their original AAAI submission; • all AAAI review scores and reviews (including the meta-review); • the AAMAS submission (that is, the updated AAAI submission), in the format required for the AAMAS 2026 Main Technical Track and with the same restrictions; • in addition, all changes made should be highlighted in color (for example, red text or text highlighted in yellow); • at most a two-page long document that describes how the AAMAS submission addresses the comments of the AAAI reviewers; and • a short statement of why the submission is relevant for the AAMAS research community, together with one of the areas of interest listed on the Call for Papers (Main Technical Track, see the conference website) that describes the AAMAS submission. The publication of the 2-page extended abstracts is not an option for this track. For questions, please contact the AAAI Track Chair Bo An, Nanyang Technological University, at boan AT ntu.edu.sg.
