Final CfP: Interdisciplinary Workshop on Observations of Misunderstood, Misguided and Malicious Use of Language Models (OMMM 2025)
by Piotr Przybyła 08 Jul '25

08 Jul '25

We are pleased to invite submissions for the first Interdisciplinary Workshop on Observations of Misunderstood, Misguided and Malicious Use of Language Models (OMMM 2025). The workshop will be held with the RANLP 2025 conference in Varna, Bulgaria, on 11-13 September 2025. Overview The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) pervades scientific practices in multiple disciplines beyond the NLP/AI communities. Alongside benefits for productivity and discovery, widespread use often entails misuse due to misalignment of values, lack of knowledge, or, more rarely, malice. LLM misuse has the potential to cause real harm in a variety of settings. Through this workshop, we aim to gather researchers interested in identifying and mitigating inappropriate and harmful uses of LLMs. These include misunderstood usage (e.g., misrepresentation of LLMs in the scientific literature); misguided usage (e.g., deployment of LLMs without adequate training or privacy safeguards); and malicious usage (e.g., generation of misinformation and plagiarism). Sample topics are listed below, but we welcome submissions on any domain related to the scope of the workshop. Important Dates Submission deadline *[NEW]*: *15 July 2025*, at 23:59 Anywhere on Earth Notification of acceptance: 01 August 2025 Camera-ready papers due: 30 August 2025 Workshop dates: September 11, 12, or 13, 2025 Submission Guidelines Submissions will be accepted as short papers (4 pages) and as long papers (8 pages), plus additional pages for references. All submissions undergo a double-blind review, so they should not include any identifying information. Submissions should conform to the RANLP guidelines; for further information and templates, please see https://ranlp.org/ranlp2025/index.php/submissions/ We welcome submissions from diverse disciplines, including NLP and AI, psychology, HCI, and philosophy. We particularly encourage reports on negative results that provide interesting perspectives on relevant topics. In-person presenters will be prioritised when selecting submissions to be presented at the workshop, but the workshop will take place in a hybrid format. Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings in the ACL Anthology. Papers should be submitted on the RANLP conference system at https://softconf.com/ranlp25/OMMM2025/ Keynote Speaker We are excited to have Dr. Stefania Druga as the keynote speaker for the inaugural OMMM workshop. Dr. Druga is a Research Scientist at Google DeepMind, where she designs novel multimodal AI applications. Topics of Interest We welcome paper submissions on all topics related to inappropriate and harmful uses of LLMs, including but not limited to: - Misunderstood use (and how to improve understanding): - Misrepresentation of LLMs (e.g., anthropomorphic language) - Attribution of consciousness - Interpretability - Overreliance on LLMs - Misguided use (and how to find alternatives): - Underperformance and inappropriate applications - Structural limitations and ethical considerations - Deployment without proper training or safeguards - Malicious use (and how to mitigate it): - Adversarial attacks, jailbreaking - Detection and watermarking of machine-generated content - Generation of misinformation or plagiarism - Bias mitigation and trust design For more information, please refer to the workshop website: https://ommm-workshop.github.io/2025/.

by Amandine Decker 08 Jul '25

08 Jul '25

*apologies for cross-postings* === Workshop SIR === First Workshop on Semantics for Interdisciplinary Research SIR@IWCS2025 - Düsseldorf - September 24 2025 ================================= https://team.inria.fr/semagramme/first-workshop-on-semantics-for-interdisci… https://openreview.net/group?id=inria.fr/INRIA/S%C3%A9magramme/2025/SIR01 ================================= In recent years, Natural Language Processing (NLP) has increasingly intersected with the humanities and social sciences, offering new methodologies for analyzing textual data, interpreting meaning, and modelling language-based phenomena. The potential for multi-disciplinary research using NLP methods is particularly great in computational semantics (CS), as its ability to process and represent meaning opens up innovative pathways for researchers in history, philosophy, literary studies, political science, etc. This workshop aims to explore how semantic models and tools can be leveraged to tackle traditional and emerging questions in the Humanities in a broader sense (Social Sciences, Law, Economics, Management, Literature, Languages, Art, …). A major theme of SIR is the role of semantics in NLP applied to the humanities (both statistical and symbolic approaches). === Topics to Explore === • CS and the humanities: issues, tools and applications • Quantitative and qualitative approaches as a breakthrough in the Humanities • NLP transforming humanities issues • Contributions and limitations for understanding meaning • Links between formal semantics and neural models • Ambiguity, polyphony and interpretation in the Humanities • Ethics and bias in semantic modelling • Interdisciplinary dialogue between AI, NLP and Humanities === Dates === • Deadline : July 21st (anywhere on earth) (previously July 14th) • Notification : August 25th (anywhere on earth) • Camera Ready : September 10th (anywhere on earth) • Workshop : September 24th (anywhere on earth) === Submission Information === Papers should describe original research and must not exceed 4 pages (with an extra page in the camera ready version for accepted papers). Papers should be submitted no later than 21 July 2025 (anywhere on earth). Accepted papers 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. Submissions should be fully anonymous to ensure double-blind reviewing. === Submission === https://openreview.net/group?id=inria.fr/INRIA/S%C3%A9magramme/2025/SIR01 === Style Files === The workshop follow the IWCS 2025 template see the workshop web page. === Organizers === Maxime Amblard, Université de Lorraine Ellen Breitholtz, Gothenburg University === Contact === maxime.amblard(a)univ-lorraine.fr and ellen.breitholtz(a)ling.gu.se

08 Jul '25

Dear ACL members and ACL'25 attendees, At ACL 2025 in Vienna, we will host a Tutorial on "Navigating Ethical Challenges in NLP: Hands-on strategies for students and researchers" (https://2025.aclweb.org/program/tutorials/). So if you ever wanted to learn (more) about ethical challenges or to understand them better, this is your chance. In order to tailor the tutorial to the attendees' needs, we set up a small survey, which should only take about 5-10 minutes to fill out. It gives you a chance to tell us about what your needs are to understand Ethical Challenges in NLP better. And we can take your needs into account. Please participate both in the survey and in the tutorial -- the more the merrier! You can find it here: https://www.soscisurvey.de/tutorial484456/ Best regards Margot Mieskes (on behalf of the Tutorial Organizers)

Second Call for Papers: Identity-Aware AI 2025
by Soda Marem Lo 08 Jul '25

08 Jul '25

Ethical and Technical Challenges for Identity-Aware AI Workshop at ECAI 2025 <https://ecai2025.org/workshops/>, Bologna, Italy, October 25-30. https://identity-aware-ai.github.io/ Workshop theme: What makes each of us unique, and which ethical and technical challenges does this imply? Overview What makes us unique? Language (and thus the automatic processing of it) is about people and what they mean. However, current practice relies on the assumptions that the involved humans are all the same, and that if enough data (and compute power) is present, the resulting generalizations will be robust enough and represent the majority. This approach often harms marginalized communities and ignores the notion of identity in models and systems. Our interdisciplinary workshop aims to raise the question of “what makes each of us unique?” to the AI community. We seek to gather researchers from diverse fields to understand how the identities of all stakeholders — e.g., the individuals projecting their views in texts, the individuals perceiving the texts, the individuals mentioned and those not mentioned in the texts — should be considered in future research in AI. Workshop Goals - The development of a shared and interdisciplinary understanding of identities and how identity is treated in AI. - The development of new methods that push the effective, fair, and inclusive treatment of individuals in AI to the next level. Topics of Interest We invite submissions on the following topics: - Approaches to model subjective phenomena: Personalization and perspectivist methods that leverage disaggregated labeled data, encoding annotator metadata on their beliefs, moral values, sociodemographic features, or personal narratives. ML methods to address the challenges of “learning from disagreements” both from the development of new models and the collection of data to train such models. - Methods for detecting and controlling bias in models and data: Techniques to audit fairness, enforce fairness constraints, and learn fair representation from data, in order to enhance the fairness of models while maintaining their predictive reliability. Ethical challenges for LLMs in identity-aware dialog and tasks: diversity, stereotypes, harms. - The role of sociodemographics in LLMs: Such as which characteristics (and disagreements) they embody and how to measure their capacity for representing and reasoning about diverse types of identities. - Challenges for applying AI methods to model socio-political phenomena: Including polarization, impact of media consumption on public opinion formation, agenda setting, deliberation support, and how integrating identity into AI methods can influence the accuracy for these tasks. - NLP work at the intersection with social psychology: The methodological foundation for quantitative investigation of identity-related topics. The reflection on best practices to reliably measure complex constructs such as morals and values. Detection and analysis of personal narratives across cultures. - Accountability of AI in the eye of the general public: The role of LLMs, and the responsibilities of AI and NLP developers for ethical use of identities. - NLP work at the intersection of survey science: The use of LLMs to model and simulate individuals and subpopulations; the role of LLMs in personalizing information elicitation; and methodological approaches to address data contamination and response validation when LLMs are used by either researchers or respondents. Submission Types We welcome the following types of submissions: - Long papers: Up to 8 pages (excluding references) - Short papers: Up to 4 pages (excluding references) - Non-archival submissions, student project presentations, mixed-media submissions: No page limit - For non-archival submissions, we welcome creative formats including: - Art, poetry, music - Blog posts - Jupyter notebooks - Teaching materials - TikToks and videos - Findings papers - Late-breaking papers - Extended abstracts - For creative format submissions, please submit a PDF containing: - A summary or abstract of your work - A link to your work (if hosted externally) - Any additional context or documentation Submission Guidelines - All submissions will be double-blind reviewed - Submissions should follow ECAI formatting guidelines <https://www.ecai2024.eu/calls/main-track> with the latex template here <https://ecai2024.eu/download/ecai-template.zip> - Submit your paper through EasyChair <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=identityawareai2025> - Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings through CEUR Workshop Format The workshop will be a half-day event featuring: - Keynote speeches from leading experts in the field - Paper presentations (oral and lightning talks) - Participatory design activity to develop a shared interdisciplinary vocabulary, identify current gaps in datasets for studying identity, and design a vision for collecting new datasets - Special student project session We are committed to ensuring that our workshop is accessible to all. The workshop will be held in a hybrid format, allowing both in-person and virtual participation. Important Dates - Submissions: 22 August - Notifications: 26 September - Camera-ready: 3 October - Workshop: 25 October Diversity & Inclusion We actively encourage submissions from underrepresented communities and countries. The workshop organizers will provide mentorship and thorough feedback, especially to first-time authors and reviewers.
