Research Communications
----------------------------------
CLiC-it 2025 adopts a parallel submission policy for outstanding papers
accepted in 2024 and 2025 by major publication venues, namely the major
international CL conferences (workshops excluded) or international
journals. These contributions can be submitted to CLiC-it 2025 as short
research communications. Research communications will not be published
in the conference proceedings, they serve primarily to promote the
dissemination of high-quality research within the Italian CL community.
Submitted research communications must be in the scope of the CLiC-it
2025 conference.
The authors of papers that meet the above criteria are invited to submit
a written (maximum) one-page abstract of the original paper, including
the paper’s title and authors as well as a pointer to the original
conference or journal where the paper was published.
If needed, research communications will undergo a selection process
overseen by the conference chairs. Since these papers have already been
reviewed, the selection criteria will primarily consider their original
publication venue. Priority will be granted to papers that align most
closely with the conference program, ensuring a balanced representation
across various conference topics. The research communication papers will
be presented at the conference either orally or as a poster according to
the number of submissions received.
Paper Submission
-----------------------
Submitted papers must describe substantial, original, completed, and
unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis
should be included.
CLiC-it 2025 allows for a multiple-submission policy. In case of
acceptance of the paper in other venues, the authors must communicate
this information to the CLiC-it 2025 Chairs as soon as possible.
Papers may consist of at least six (6) and no more than eight (8) pages
of content, and up to three (3) pages of references. Supplementary
material is also allowed, but it should not exceed one (1) page in
length. Authors are reminded that all relevant content should be
included in the main text of the paper. Upon acceptance, final versions
of papers will be given one additional page of content, so that
reviewers’ comments can be taken into account.
Papers will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
- soundness of approach
- relevance to computational linguistics
- novelty and clarity of relation with related work
- quality of presentation
- quality of evaluation (if applicable)
- verifiability and ability to replicate (if applicable)
Papers can be either in English or Italian, with the abstract in
English. Accepted papers will be published online and will be presented
at the conference either orally or as a poster.
Reviewing will NOT be blind, so there is no need to remove author
information from manuscripts.
The required template for CLiC-it submissions must be compatible with
CEUR (https://ceur-ws.org/). You can download the conference-adapted
version at the following links:

Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for GlobalNLP 2025, a workshop titled:
“Beyond English: Natural Language Processing for All Languages in an Era of Large Language Models”
📍 11–13 September 2025 | Varna, Bulgaria
🌐 https://globalnlp2025.github.io/
📅 In conjunction with RANLP 2025
It's time we give every language the attention it deserves—because language diversity is at the heart of global inclusivity in NLP.
Brief Technical Description
Natural Language Processing (NLP) has seen remarkable progress with the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI, significantly advancing capabilities in text generation, machine translation, and knowledge retrieval, particularly for high-resource languages such as English, Chinese, German, Spanish, and French.
However, a vast majority of the world's languages, ranging from low-resource (e.g., Indigenous, African, Indian languages), under-resourced (e.g., Irish), to medium-resource (e.g., Baltic, South Asian, and Slavic languages), still face barriers due to data scarcity, linguistic complexity, and limited computational resources.
This workshop is committed to advancing NLP for all languages, from high- to low-resource, by fostering an inclusive, multidisciplinary environment that addresses the technical and linguistic needs of every language community.
We welcome both technical and non-technical papers, including experimental, theoretical, and methodological contributions, as well as interdisciplinary and participatory approaches. Topics include, but are not limited to:
• Data-Efficient NLP: Transfer learning, few-/zero-shot techniques to overcome data limitations
• Multilingual and Cross-Lingual Models: For morphologically rich, agglutinative, and typologically diverse languages
• Semantic-Based Approaches: Ontology-driven information extraction, semantic similarity, entity linking
• Linked Data and Knowledge Graphs: For machine translation, retrieval, and reasoning in underrepresented languages
• Practical Applications: In education, healthcare, climate action, governance, and multilingual content creation
• Corpus Creation & Linguistic Tools: For building datasets, model development, and evaluation
• Reusability of Linguistic Resources: For POS tagging, parsing, MT, and more
• Digital Humanities & Cultural Heritage: Computational approaches for historical texts, preservation, and interdisciplinary studies

Track of EPIA’25*
PLN-TEMA’25 will be held at the 24th Portuguese Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (EPIA 2025) taking place in Universidade do Algarve, Faro,
Portugal, between October 1st-3rd 2025. This track is organized under the
auspices of the Portuguese Association for Artificial Intelligence (APPIA).

Organizing Committee; [7] Contacts.
[1] *Track Description*
The Track of Natural Language, Text Mining and Applications (NLP-TeMA 2025)
is a forum for researchers working in Human Language Technologies, i.e.
Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computational Linguistics (CL), Natural
Language Engineering (NLE), Text Mining (TM), Information Retrieval (IR),
and related areas.
The most natural form of sharing knowledge is indeed through textual
documents. Especially on the Web, a huge amount of textual information is
openly published every day, on many different topics and written in natural
language, thus offering new insights and many opportunities for innovative
applications of Human Language Technologies.
Following advances in general AI sub-fields such as NLP, Machine Learning
(ML) and Deep Learning (DL), text mining is now even more valuable as tool
for bridging the gap between language theories and effective use of natural
language contents, for harnessing the power of semi-structured and
unstructured data, and to enable important applications in real-world
heterogeneous environments. Both hidden and new knowledge can be discovered
by using NLP and Text Mining methods, at multiple levels and in multiple
dimensions, and often with high commercial value.
Authors are invited to submit their papers on any of the issues identified
in section [2]. Revision of the papers will be double-blind at least by
three members of the Program Committee. All accepted papers will be
published by Springer in a volume of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Artificial
Intelligence (LNAI) corresponding to the proceedings of the 24th EPIA
Conference on Artificial Intelligence, provided that at least one author is
registered in EPIA 2025 by the early registration deadline.

[1] *Track Description*
The Track of Natural Language, Text Mining and Applications (NLP-TeMA 2025)
is a forum for researchers working in Human Language Technologies, i.e.
Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computational Linguistics (CL), Natural
Language Engineering (NLE), Text Mining (TM), Information Retrieval (IR),
and related areas.
The most natural form of sharing knowledge is indeed through textual
documents. Especially on the Web, a huge amount of textual information is
openly published every day, on many different topics and written in natural
language, thus offering new insights and many opportunities for innovative
applications of Human Language Technologies.
Following advances in general AI sub-fields such as NLP, Machine Learning
(ML) and Deep Learning (DL), text mining is now even more valuable as tool
for bridging the gap between language theories and effective use of natural
language contents, for harnessing the power of semi-structured and
unstructured data, and to enable important applications in real-world
heterogeneous environments. Both hidden and new knowledge can be discovered
by using NLP and Text Mining methods, at multiple levels and in multiple
dimensions, and often with high commercial value.
Authors are invited to submit their papers on any of the issues identified
in section [2]. Revision of the papers will be double-blind at least by
three members of the Program Committee. All accepted papers will be
published by Springer in a volume of Springer’s Lecture Notes in Artificial
Intelligence (LNAI) corresponding to the proceedings of the 24th EPIA
Conference on Artificial Intelligence, provided that at least one author is
registered in EPIA 2025 by the early registration deadline.
