First Call for Papers ***************** NooJ 2026 International Conference Naples, Italy June 24-26, 2026 https://nooj2026.sciencescall.org/resource/page/id/2 ******************* Important dates: ******************* Abstract submission: 31 January 2026 Notification of acceptance: 25 March 2026 Registration: until 13 April 2026 Conference dates: 24-26 June 2026 *********************************************** University of Naples "L'Orientale" and the NooJ association organize the 20th NooJ Conference in Naples, Italy from 24-26 June, 2026. NooJ is a linguistic development environment that allows linguists to formalize several levels of linguistic phenomena: orthography and spelling; lexicons of simple words, multiword units and frozen expressions; inflectional, derivational and agglutinative morphology; local, constituent and dependency syntax; transformational grammars and semantic analysis. For each phenomenon, NooJ provides linguists with formal tools specifically adapted to facilitate the description, using the four types of Chomsky-Schützenberger formal grammars (regular, context-free, context-sensitive and unrestricted). This approach distinguishes NooJ from most computational linguistic frameworks which provide a single formalism. NooJ is also a corpus processing tool, used in the digital humanities (in History, Literature, Psychology and Sociolinguistics) as it allows users to apply sophisticated linguistic resources to large corpora and build indices and concordances, annotate texts automatically, perform various statistical analyses, etc. NooJ is freely available and linguistic modules can already be freely downloaded for over 30 languages, see https://nooj.univ-fcomte.fr A Web demo is available for English, French, Spanish and Ukrainian at: https://webnooj.univ-fcomte.fr ****************************** The conference intends to: ****************************** * give NooJ users and researchers in Linguistics, Computational Linguistics and in the Digital Humanities the opportunity to meet and share their experience as developers, researchers and teachers; * present to NooJ users the latest linguistic resources and NLP applications developed for/with NooJ, its latest functionalities, as well as its future developments; * offer researchers and graduate students an advanced tutorial dedicated to the automatic transformational analysis/generation of texts. ******************* Topics of interest: ******************* * Lexical resources * Computational morphology * Syntactic analysis * Semantic analysis * Linguistic-based NLP applications *************** Submission: *************** We invite the submission of abstracts in English until 31 January 2026. The abstracts should contain the title, name and email of the author(s) and their institutions. Abstracts should not exceed one page (between 400 and 600 words) and should be sent to nooj2026(a)gmail.com. All proposals will be reviewed by the members of the scientific committee; authors will be given notice of acceptance of their papers no later than 25 March 2026.

Call for Participation – SemEval-2026 Task 3: Dimensional Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis on Customer Reviews and Stance Datasets.
by Lung-Hao Lee 07 Nov '25

07 Nov '25

Dear colleagues, We are delighted to announce SemEval-2026 Task 3: Dimensional Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis on Customer Reviews and Stance Datasets. *Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA)* is a widely used technique for analyzing people’s opinions and sentiments at the aspect level. However, current ABSA research predominantly adopts a coarse-grained, categorical sentiment representation (e.g., positive, negative, or neutral). This approach stands in contrast to long-established theories in psychology and affective science, where sentiment is represented along fine-grained, real-valued dimensions of valence (ranging from negative to positive) and arousal (from sluggish to excited). This valence-arousal (VA) representation has inspired the rise of dimensional sentiment analysis as an emerging research paradigm, enabling more nuanced distinctions in emotional expression and supporting a broader range of applications. To bridge this gap, we propose *Dimensional ABSA (DimABSA)*, a shared task that integrates dimensional sentiment analysis into the traditional ABSA framework. Furthermore, there is a conceptual similarity between stance detection and ABSA when the stance target is treated as an aspect. Building on this, we introduce *Dimensional Stance Analysis (DimStance)*, a Stance-as-DimABSA task that reformulates stance detection under the ABSA schema in the VA space. This new formulation extends ABSA beyond consumer reviews to public-issue discourse (e.g., social, political, energy, climate) and also generalizes stance analysis from categorical labels to continuous VA scores. ——————— *Languages* ——————— *We provide data in 11 languages*, including: German (deu), English (eng), Hausa (hau), Japan (jpn), Kinyarwanda (kin), Russian (rus), Swahili (swa), Tatar (tat), Twi（twi), Ukrainian (ukr), and Chinese (zho) ——————— *Subtasks* ——————— *Track A – Dimensional Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (DimABSA)*: Predict real-valued valence–arousal (VA) scores for aspects and extract their associated information from text. Its subtasks include: - *Subtask 1: DimASR* – Dimensional Aspect Sentiment Regression - *Subtask 2: DimASTE *– Dimensional Aspect Sentiment Triplet Extraction - *Subtask 3: DimASQP* – Dimensional Aspect Sentiment Quad Prediction *Track B – Dimensional Stance Analysis (DimStance)*: A Stance-as-DimABSA task, where the target in stance detection is treated as an aspect. Its subtasks include: - *Subtask 1: DimASR for stance analysis* ——————— *Evaluation* ——————— For both tracks, RMSE is used for Subtask 1, and *a new metric (continuous F1)* for Subtasks 2 & 3. ——————— *Participation* ——————— *Website* (checkout details): https://github.com/DimABSA/DimABSA2026 *Codabench* (register and submit results) - Track A: https://www.codabench.org/competitions/10918/ - Track B: To be announced soon. *Discord* (community and discussion) https://discord.gg/xWXDWtkMzu *Google Group* (official updates): https://groups.google.com/g/dimabsa-participants ——————— *Important Dates* ——————— - Sample Data Ready: 15 July 2025 - Training Data Ready: 30 September 2025 - *Evaluation Start: 10 January 2026* - Evaluation End 31 January 2026 - System Description Paper Due: February 2026 - Notification to Authors: March 2026 - Camera Ready Due: April 2026 - SemEval Workshop 2026: co-located with ACL 2026 (San Diego, CA, USA) We warmly invite the community to participate in this exciting shared task and contribute to advancing NLP research.

*** Last Call for Workshop and Competition Proposals *** The 25th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS 2026) May 25-29, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29ycG9yYQkJCWNvcnBv…> AAMAS 2026 received 1455 full paper submissions for the Main Track, after an initial submission of 1800 abstracts. This is by far the highest number of submissions (around 50% more than the previous highest number) in the 25 years of AAMAS. Workshops AAMAS 2026 invites proposals for the workshop program, which will be held on May 25-26, 2026, immediately before the main program of the AAMAS conference. The objectives of the AAMAS 2026 workshop program are to stimulate and facilitate discussion, interaction, and comparison of approaches, methods, and ideas related to specific topics, both theoretical and applied, in the general area of Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems. The AAMAS 2026 workshops will provide an informal setting where participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics, fostering the active exchange of ideas and supporting community development. We invite the submission of workshop proposals for review. We encourage workshops proposals that focus on emerging topics, open research questions and challenges, as well as broader subjects of interest to a wider community. Additionally, we welcome workshops with previous editions at AAMAS that can attract established communities working in the same research area. Workshops may vary in length from half a day to two days, though most are expected to last one full day. Attendance will be limited to registered participants, and both organizers and attendees must register for their workshop, which will have a separate fee from the main conference. Workshop attendees are not required to register for the main AAMAS conference if they do not plan to attend it, though this is highly encouraged. AAMAS 2026 will be an in-person event in Paphos, Cyprus. AAMAS 2026 reserves the right to cancel workshops if the registration numbers do not cover their operating costs. Competitions We are glad to announce the third edition of the AAMAS Competition track at AAMAS 2026. Competitions are an effective mechanism for motivating researchers to enhance discussions, share knowledge, and boost the development and evaluation of theory and practice of autonomous agents and multiagent systems. By proposing challenging competitions to the AAMAS community, competition proposers contribute to pushing the state-of-the-art in specific areas or to solving problems of practical importance. We invite competition proposals on topics of interest to the AAMAS community. We encourage submissions from emerging areas or novel application scenarios relevant to the AAMAS community. Submissions from established areas for which the competition may serve as a stimulus to advance theory and practice or renew the interest of young researchers in the area are also welcome. We highly value interdisciplinary topics that have the potential to attract a significant cross-section of the community. If the accepted competition involves the development of tools and platforms for supporting agent development, the proposer(s) will be encouraged to submit a Demonstration paper at AAMAS 2027 summarizing the design, development, and outcomes of their competition at the 2026 conference. At least one proposer of each accepted competition is required to register and attend the conference to run the finals of the competition and/or to announce the winners.

CfP - WHISPER 2026 - Workshop co-located with ITASEC & SERICS 2026
by angelica.liguori＠icar.cnr.it 05 Nov '25

05 Nov '25

1st Edition of the Workshop on Hidden Information, Steganography, Privacy, and Emerging Risks, co-located with ITASEC & SERICS 2026, Cagliari, Italy, February 09-13, 2026 *** Call for Papers *** Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly integrated into a wide range of domains, reshaping the landscape of information security. From synthetic content generation to intelligent system deployment, AI technologies now influence every layer of communication, data processing, and multimedia production. This evolution brings both opportunities and risks. On one hand, AI can enhance defenses by detecting hidden information, tracing content origins, and identifying covert channels; on the other hand, it can empower adversaries to design stealthier data-hiding methods, generate highly realistic steganographic media, and optimize side-channel attacks. Moreover, even AI can be watermarked or targeted by data exfiltration attacks, being a fundamental asset for campanies. In this context, the 1st Workshop on Hidden Information, Steganography, Privacy, and Emerging Risks (WHISPER 2026), co-located with ITASEC & SERICS, aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry to explore the intersection of AI, steganography, digital watermarking, and privacy. The workshop will focus on emerging risks, defensive and adversarial strategies, and the dual role of AI, as both a potential threat and a powerful safeguard, in the protection, tracing, and authentication of information. Topics of Interest Submissions are invited on all topics related to information hiding, watermarking, and privacy in the era of AI, including but not limited to: * Watermarking schemes, usages, and challenges, including model and content watermarking for intellectual property protection. * Novel cloaking mechanisms within models and/or datasets with robustness and fairness properties. * New threat models leveraging information-hiding techniques. * Secure watermarking of large language models, generative models and traditional machine learning models. * Deep learning solutions for detecting and generating covert communication. * Adversarial attacks and defenses in data hiding and watermarking. * Data-exfiltration attacks to AI models, including membership inference attacks and privacy leakages. *** Submission Guidelines*** Submissions must be written in English and provided in PDF format, adhering to the ITASEC conference template EasyChair style (https://easychair.org/publications/for_authors). Manuscripts should at most 10 pages in length, excluding references. We accept both previously published papers and original submissions presenting new ideas or preliminary results. All submissions will undergo peer review by at least two members of the Program Committee. *** Important dates *** * Paper Submission: 5 December 2025 * Notification: 20 December 2025 * Carmera-ready: 10 January 2026 * Workshop: 09 February 2026 *** Workshop organizers *** * Lorenzo Cazzaro, UNIVE & University of Luxembourg, Italy and Luxembourg * Daniela Gallo, ICAR-CNR & University of Salento, Italy * Angelica Liguori, ICAR-CNR, Italy * Luca Caviglione, IMATI-CNR, Italy * Giuseppe Manco, ICAR-CNR, Italy * Salvatore Orlando, UNIVE, Italy For more information: angelica.liguori(a)icar.cnr.it

Workshops and Tutorials Furthermore, AAMAS 2026 invites proposals for workshops and tutorials. These will be held on May 25-26, 2026, immediately before the main program of the AAMAS conference. The objectives of the AAMAS 2026 workshop program are to stimulate and facilitate discussion, interaction, and comparison of approaches, methods, and ideas related to specific topics, both theoretical and applied, in the general area of Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems. The AAMAS 2026 workshops will provide an informal setting where participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics, fostering the active exchange of ideas and supporting community development. Tutorials will be half-day long and will be in person — online/remote versions will not be accepted. A few full-day tutorials may be considered, but the proponents need to motivate their request when submitting their proposal.
