NLPerspectives 5: 1st Call for Papers
by Abercrombie, Gavin 01 Dec '25

01 Dec '25

Call for papers: NLPerspectives – The 5th Workshop on Perspectivist Approaches to NLP Collocated with LREC in Palma de Mallorca https://nlperspectives.di.unito.it/<https://nlperspectives.di.unito.it/w/4th-workshop-on-perspectivist-approach…> Important Dates * February 27: Paper submission * May 11-16, 2026: NLPerspectives workshop at EMNLP NLPerspectives Until recently, language resources supporting many tasks in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and other areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been based on the assumption of a single ‘ground truth’ label sought via aggregation, adjudication, or statistical means. However, the field is increasingly focused on subjective and controversial tasks, such as quality estimation or abuse detection, in which multiple points of view may be equally valid (for a complete overview see Frenda et al., 2024). Data Perspectivism is a proposed solution to deal with subjectivity (Cabitza et al., 2023). Perspectivist approaches leverage human label variation (Plank, 2022; Sorensen et al., 2024) to better account for user diversity (Prabhakaran et al., 2021) and adopt evaluation strategies capable of embracing disagreement (Uma et al., 2021, Lo et al., 2025, Leonardelli et al., 2025). In the previous editions of the workshop, different aspects of perspectivist NLP were discussed, including ties to participatory design, personalisation, computer vision, and multimedia research and multicultural awareness in modelling. The fifth edition of the workshop will widen the discussed methodology to include not only current and ongoing work on collecting non-aggregated datasets, mining and modelling perspectives, but also approaches to evaluation of perspectivist models, looking in particular at their application in real-world scenarios. In addition, it will involve techniques from social science and Human-Computer Interaction, such as participatory approaches and how they can be implemented at all stages of the supervised learning pipeline. The NLPerspectives workshop will be co-located with the fifteenth biennial Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC) held at the Palau de Congressos de Palma in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, on 11-16 May 2026. Submissions When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research. Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC authors to share the described LRs (data, tools, services, etc.) to enable their reuse and replicability of experiments (including evaluation ones). In addition, authors will be required to adhere to ethical research policies on AI and should include an ethics statement in their papers. The papers should be submitted as a PDF document, conforming to the formatting guidelines provided in the call for papers of the LREC conference. Templates are provided here<https://lrec2026.info/authors-kit/>. We accept three types of submissions: * Regular research papers; * Non-archival submissions: like research papers, but will not be included in the proceedings; * (Non-archival) research communications: 1-page abstracts summarising relevant research published elsewhere. NLPerspectives will also accept submissions that have been rejected from ACL rolling review, provided they are accompanied by their reviews, and they fit the topic of the workshop. Research papers (archival or non-archival) may consist of up to 8 pages of content. Research communications may consist of up to 1 pages of content. Topics We invite original research papers from a wide range of topics, including but not limited to: * Non-aggregated data collection and annotation frameworks * Descriptions of corpora collected under the perspectivist paradigm * Multi-perspective Modelling and Machine Learning * Evaluation of multi-perspective or disagreement aware models * Multi-perspective disagreement as applied to NLP evaluation * Fairness and inclusive modelling * Perspectivist approaches for social good * Applications of multi-perspective modelling * Computing with (dis)agreement * Perspectivist Natural Language Generation * Perspectivism in multimodal AI * Foundational aspects of perspectivism * Participatory approaches and human label variation * Opinion pieces and reviews on perspectivist approaches to NLP * Capabilities of Perspectivist Models in Real-World Systems Submissions are open to all, and are to be submitted anonymously (and must conform to the instructions for double-blind review). All papers will be refereed through a double-blind peer review process by at least three reviewers, with final acceptance decisions made by the workshop organisers. Scientific papers will be evaluated based on relevance, significance of contribution, impact, technical quality, scholarship, and quality of presentation. Attendance The workshop will follow the attendance policy<https://lrec2026.info/registration-policy/> of the main conference.
