New deadline: *13 June 2025*, anywhere on Earth
Venue: IWCS 2025 (https://iwcs2025.github.io/), Düsseldorf, Germany

BriGap-2 is a venue for linguists and NLP scientists to meet: what fruitful
interactions can we have? How do we build upon each other’s work?
* Description *
In recent years, the natural language processing (NLP) community has
shifted its focus towards engineering questions. This state of affairs is
in no small part due to the recent technical advances that have transformed
NLP as a field. In the current large language model (LLM) era, much of what
was deemed near impossible to achieve a few years prior is now taken for
granted and it stands to reason that mapping how far ahead new
computational models have advanced the field has become a central topic for
the NLP community. Hence, the current ongoing discourse in NLP focuses more
on what can be achieved through language rather than studying language for
its own sake. It seems thus that computational and formal linguistics are
now separate domains, and that the former is no longer rooted in the latter.
To what extent are these traditions truly divorced, and what fruitful
bridges can be (re)built? To answer these questions, the second iteration
of the workshop on Bridges and Gaps between Formal and Computational
Linguistics (BriGap-2) intends to provide a space for formal linguists,
computational linguists, and NLP scientists to exchange their perspectives
on how their different domains of research can build upon one another.
* Workshop topics *
- investigation of the linguistic properties of machine learning models,
- linguistic representations, vector space semantics, and their relations
with theoretical concepts such as compositionality,
- use of information-theoretical and computational methods for linguistic
inquiry,
- formal distributional semantics and neural-symbolic integration for NLP,
- formal grammars, symbolic structures and their applications for
computational linguistics and NLP,
- trends in the history of computational linguistics and NLP,
- …
* Invited speakers *
- Anna ROGERS, IT University of Copenhagen
- Kees VAN DEEMTER, Universiteit Utrecht
* Submission details *
The workshop accepts both archival (original and unpublished research) and
non-archival (work-in-progress, dissemination of research published or
accepted elsewhere, etc.) submissions in either short (up to 4 pages) or
long (up to 8 pages) format. Camera-ready versions of papers will be given
one additional page of content so that reviewers’ comments can be taken
into account.
Each submission should mention whether it targets archival or non-archival
status. Archival papers accepted at BriGap-2 will be indexed in the ACL
Anthology.

Conference theme: “Pervasive digital services for people’s well-being,
inclusion and sustainable development”
OVERVIEW
Next-gen digital services contribute to people’s well-being, inclusion, and sustainable
development, re-shaping e-business, e-services, and e-society. Such services are pervasive
both since they run on a large variety of heterogeneous devices and they permeate various
aspects of daily life, by offering accessible and personalised experiences to all individuals. The
proposed theme advocates for the design, implementation and operations of novel digital
solutions that satisfy the needs of different individuals, while contributing to their well-being
and to preserving the Planet.
I3E 2025 will collect contributions about the creation and management of user-centric
accessible platforms, applications, and services that empower individuals to live healthier and
more fulfilling lives. The proposed theme aims at emphasizing how it is possible to leverage
different technologies to address pressing societal challenges such as, for instance, healthcare
access, education, poverty alleviation, sustainable usage of resources, and social equity,
towards a more inclusive and sustainable future.

16th International Conference on Computational Semantics (IWCS)
Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf
22-24 September 2025
https://iwcs2025.github.io/
DEADLINE EXTENDED
New deadline: 13 June 2025, anywhere on Earth
FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
IWCS is a biennial conference on computational semantics. This year's
edition is organized by Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. The
conference is endorsed by SIGSEM, the ACL Special Interest Group on
Computational Semantics.
The aim of the IWCS conference is to bring together researchers
interested in any aspects of the computation, annotation, extraction,
representation and learning of meaning in natural language, whether
this is from a lexical or structural semantic perspective. IWCS
embraces both symbolic and machine learning approaches to
computational semantics, and everything in between. The conference and
workshops will take place 22-24 September 2025.
The invited speakers of IWCS 2025 are:
Oana-Maria Camburu (University College London)
Alexander Koller (Saarland University)
Denis Paperno (Utrecht University)
We invite paper submissions in all areas of computational semantics,
in other words all computational aspects of meaning of natural
language within written, spoken, signed, or multi-modal communication.
Submissions are invited on these closely related areas:
design of meaning representations
syntax-semantics interface
representing and resolving semantic ambiguity
shallow and deep semantic processing and reasoning
hybrid symbolic and statistical approaches to semantics
distributional semantics
alternative approaches to compositional semantics
inference methods for computational semantics
recognising textual entailment
learning by reading
methodologies and practices for semantic annotation
machine learning of semantic structures
probabilistic computational semantics
neural semantic parsing
computing meaning with large language models
computational aspects of lexical semantics
semantics and ontologies
semantic web and natural language processing
semantic aspects of language generation
generating from meaning representations
semantic relations in discourse and dialogue
semantics and pragmatics of dialogue acts
multimodal and grounded approaches to computing meaning
semantics-pragmatics interface
applications of computational semantics
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Two types of submission are solicited: long papers and short papers.
Both types should be submitted no later than 06 June 2025 (anywhere on
earth).
Long papers should describe original research and must not exceed 8
pages. Short papers (typically system or project descriptions, or
ongoing research) must not exceed 4 pages. Acknowledgments,
references, a limitations section (optional), an ethics statement
(optional), and a technical appendix (optional, not subject to
reviewing) do not count towards the page limit. Accepted papers get an
extra page in the camera-ready version and will be published in the
conference proceedings in the ACL Anthology. For inclusion in the
proceedings, at least one author must register to the conference and
present the paper in person. Papers will be accepted either for oral
presentation or for a poster presentation.
Submissions should be fully anonymous to ensure double-blind
reviewing.
Style-files
IWCS 2025 papers should be formatted following the common two-column
structure as used by IWCS 2021 (borrowed from ACL 2021). Please use
these specific style-files or the Overleaf template.
Style files:
https://iwcs2021.github.io/download/iwcs2021-templates.zip
Overleaf template:

Submitting
Papers should be submitted in PDF format.
Submission link: https://openreview.net/group?id=IWCS/2025/Conference
Please contact the program chairs if you have problems using
OpenReview.
No anonymity period
IWCS 2025 does not have an anonymity period. However, we ask you to be
reasonable and not publicly advertise your preprint during (or right
before) review.
Double submission policy
Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or
publications must indicate this at submission time. Authors of papers
accepted for presentation at IWCS 2025 must notify the program chairs
by the camera-ready deadline as to whether the paper will be
presented. All accepted papers must be presented at the conference to
appear in the proceedings. We will not accept for publication or
presentation papers that overlap significantly in content or results
with papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere.
IMPORTANT DATES
All dates are anywhere on Earth.
Paper submission: 13 June 2025
Notification of acceptance: 01 August 2025
Camera-ready due: 22 August 2025
