********************************* Call for Participation ********************************* StereoQueerEval at SemEval 2027 (Task 8) Identification of Stereotypes and Hate Speech Targeting the LGBTQIA+ Community Registration is required to obtain data and participate in the shared task. Please follow the instructions on the task website: https://stereoqueereval.github.io/how_to_participate/ --------------------------------------------------------- 🌈 The StereoQueerEval Shared Task 🌈 --------------------------------------------------------- We invite participants to take part in StereoQueerEval: a novel shared task on the identification of stereotypes and hate speech targeting the LGBTQIA+ community. The great attention to hate speech detection in the NLP community provides a strong foundation for expanding research on stereotyping and hate speech targeting LGBTQIA+ individuals across multiple languages. StereoQueerEval advances research in this area with a cross-lingual benchmark covering English, Italian, Dutch and Persian. StereoQueerEval is organized around three subtasks: Subtask A) Stereotype Identification: binary detection of whether a text contains a stereotype targeting the LGBTQIA+ community (present/absent). Subtask B) Hate Speech Type Classification: multiclass classification distinguishing between explicit hate speech, implicit hate speech and non-hateful content. Subtask C) Target & LGBTQIA+ Identity Identification: recognition of the target type (individual vs. group) and the specific LGBTQIA+ identities targeted (L, G, B, T, Q, I, A, Q, NB). Further details on the task, data, and evaluation are available at the task website: https://stereoqueereval.github.io/ Codabench will be up and running before the end of this month. ----------------------- Important Dates ----------------------- 18 Sep 2026 Training data release EN + IT + NL (training period starts) → already available! 07 Oct 2026 Development data (Persian) available → already available! 10 Jan 2027 Test data available + evaluation period starts 31 Jan 2027 Evaluation period ends Feb 2027 Paper submission due Feb/Mar 2027 Reviewing period Mar 2027 Notification to authors Apr 2027 Camera-ready due July 2027 SemEval 2027 Workshop (co-located with major *CL conference) ---------------- Organizers ---------------- Alessandra Teresa Cignarella, Ghent University Marta Marchiori Manerba, University of Turin Greta Damo, Université Côte d'Azur, Inria Marzieh Abdolmaleki, Ghent University Debora Nozza, Bocconi University Els Lefever, Ghent University

The 26th International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (ISPDC 2027): First Call for Papers
by Announce 08 Oct '26

08 Oct '26

*** First Call for Papers *** The 26th International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Computing (ISPDC 2027) July 7-9, 2027, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/ispdc2027/ Distributed systems have seen an increasing convergence between traditional workflows (such as HPC simulations) and agentic AI workflows. Simulation remains the workhorse of high-performance computing, but supercomputers are increasingly asked to host a second class of workload alongside it. Agentic AI systems (e.g., foundation models acting autonomously through iterative loops of reasoning and tool use) now issue tool calls that are themselves HPC tasks: simulations, solvers, and data-analysis pipelines. Serving them adds interactive, asynchronous and bursty demands to machines designed for bulk- synchronous batch jobs. The question this raises for our community is not one of replacement but of extension: how schedulers, runtimes, communication layers, I/O stacks and memory hierarchies should be extended so that agentic and other AI workloads can coexist with, and feed back into, traditional large-scale computation. ISPDC welcomes work on these new capabilities as much as continued advances in the classical foundations of parallel and distributed computing. We invite original research contributions to ISPDC 2027 in the following categories: full papers, short papers, posters, and talks. Topics of Interest Contributions are welcome in, but not limited to, the following areas: ● Algorithms and models for parallel and distributed computing ● Parallel and distributed workflows for large-scale applications, including AI-driven and agentic orchestration ● Applications of parallel and distributed systems (HPC, Big Data, AI, Quantum Computing) ● Performance modeling, analysis, and evaluation ● Parallel and distributed I/O, storage and data management ● Architectures and environments for parallel and distributed computing ● Resource management and scheduling, including co-scheduling of interactive AI services with batch workloads ● Reproducibility and explainability in parallel and distributed computing ● Cloud computing, edge computing, federated learning ● Machine learning in the context of parallel and distributed systems ● Distributed training and inference at scale: parallel strategies, memory offloading, checkpointing, model serving ● Extending HPC systems for agentic AI: tool calls into simulations, agent memory and context data management Contribution Types and Page Limits Page limits reflect the Springer formatting standard. ● Full papers: Max. 20 pages (excluding references) and 25 pages (including references). ● Short papers: Max. 12 pages (excluding references) and 15 pages (including references). ● Poster papers: Max. 5 pages (including references).

Call for Papers: The 23rd Workshop on Multiword Expressions (MWE 2027)
by Patricia Chiril 08 Oct '26

08 Oct '26

📣 CALL FOR PAPERS The 23rd Workshop on Multiword Expressions (MWE 2027) 🌐 https://multiword.org/mwe2027/ 📍Athens, Greece Full day workshop collocated with the 20th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL 2027, https://2027.eacl.org/ ) Organised, sponsored, and endorsed by SIGLEX, the Special Interest Group on the Lexicon of the ACL. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates Direct Submission deadline: December 1, 2026 Pre-reviewed (ARR) submission deadline: December 22, 2026 Notification of acceptance: TBA (January 2027) Camera-ready paper due: January 19, 2027 Workshop date: one full day between March 9–14, 2027 (exact date TBA) All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC-12 (Anywhere on Earth). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview Multiword expressions (MWEs), i.e., word combinations that exhibit lexical, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and/or statistical idiosyncrasies (Baldwin and Kim, 2010), such as "by and large", "hot dog", "make a decision" and "break one's leg" are still a pain in the neck for Natural Language Processing. The notion of MWE encompasses closely related phenomena: idioms, compounds, light-verb constructions, phrasal verbs, rhetorical figures, collocations, institutionalised phrases, etc. Given their irregular nature, MWEs often pose complex problems in linguistic modelling (e.g., annotation), NLP tasks (e.g., parsing), and end-user applications (e.g., natural language understanding and Machine Translation), hence still representing an open issue for computational linguistics (Miletić and Schulte im Walde, 2024; Ramisch et al., 2023; Phelps et al., 2024; Mahajan et al., 2024). For more than two decades, the topic of modelling and processing MWEs for NLP has been the focus of the MWE workshop, organized by the MWE section of ACL-SIGLEX in conjunction with major NLP conferences since 2003. Impressive progress has been made in the field, but our understanding of MWEs still requires substantial further research, given their importance and usefulness in NLP applications. This is also relevant to domain-specific NLP pipelines that need to tackle terminologies most often realised as MWEs. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Linguistic aspects of MWE: criteria for their classification, morpho-syntactic and semantic idiosyncrasies, contrastive studies of MWEs in various languages; * MWE resources: corpora, dictionaries, lexicons, treebanks, mono-/multilingual, new and enhanced representation of MWEs in language resources, computational models of compositionality as gold standards for formative intrinsic evaluation, development of multilingual benchmarks for MWEidentification; * MWE processing, identification, and recognition in the general language, as well as in specialised languages and domains, including in low-resourced languages; * MWEs in LLMs and embeddings: representation, compositionality, and phrase-level embeddings, adapting LLMs to better handle MWEs, probing LLMs’ understanding of MWEs; * MWE processing to enhance end-user applications. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission formats The workshop invites three types of submissions: * Archival submission of research papers that present substantially original research in both long paper format (8 pages + references) and short paper format (4 pages + references). * System and resource demonstrations that present tools and datasets related to MWEs and MWE processing, which could be demoed during the workshop. System/resource description papers should be up to 4 pages + references, and do not need to be anonymised. * Non-archival submissions describing relevant research presented/published elsewhere; non-archival submissions will not be included in the MWE proceedings and do not need to be anonymised (they will not undergo reviews); they should contain a short abstract of the paper (1-2 pages) with a link to the already published paper. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper submission and templates Papers should be submitted via the workshop submission page (to be announced). Please choose the appropriate submission format (archival/system/non-archival). Archival papers with existing reviews will also be accepted through the ACL Rolling Review. Submissions must follow the ACL stylesheet. Authors are encouraged, wherever relevant, to adopt the conventions on citing, glossing, and translating multilingual examples of MWEs promoted by the editors of the Phraseology and Multiword Expressions book series published by Language Science Press. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizing Committee Patricia Chiril, Jaka Čibej, Adriana Silvana Pagano, Ivelina Stoyanova, and Sara Stymne Anti-harassment policy The workshop follows the ACL anti-harassment policy.

First Call for Main Conference Papers
by ACL Announcements 07 Oct '26

07 Oct '26

First Call for Main Conference Papers ACL 2027: The 65th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics August 17-22, 2027, Kyoto, Japan ARR submission deadline: Jan 4, 2027 ACL commitment deadline: TBD Details: https://2027.aclweb.org/calls/main/ *Overview* The 65th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL 2027) invites the submission of long and short papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research on Natural Language Processing and Computational Linguistics. ACL 2027 will take place in Kyoto, Japan, from August 17 to 22, 2027. *Special Theme: Homogenization and Knowledge Collapse in LLMs* ACL 2027 features a special theme track on "Homogenization and Knowledge Collapse in LLMs". Large language models are now central to how people access information and create content, yet a growing body of work suggests that they tend to produce low-diversity, stereotyped outputs, raising the concern of a "generative monoculture" in which training and alignment practices unintentionally narrow the range of human expression. The theme track welcomes empirical, theoretical, survey, and position papers on this phenomenon, including (but not limited to): metrics and frameworks for measuring homogenization and cultural flattening; the mechanisms that reduce diversity (training data, alignment, decoding and sampling methods, loss functions) and ways to mitigate them; whether models explore the space of possible responses or converge on high-likelihood answers, and the trade-offs between coherence, safety, and diversity; comparisons of variability between human- and model-generated content; whether cross-linguistic querying yields more uniform responses than human communication would; and the role of LLMs in homogenizing or polarizing discourse and in compressing or privileging particular kinds of knowledge. *Submission information* Paper submission and commitment will be handled via the ACL Rolling Review (ARR) system (https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp). ARR works on a two-monthly review cycle. The "paper submission deadline" is the latest date that new papers can be submitted to ARR and be reviewed in time to be considered by ACL 2027. Papers submitted in previous ARR rounds can also be considered. The "paper commitment deadline" is the date by which authors must choose, based on the reviews so far, whether to "commit" their ARR papers to be considered by ACL 2027. Please note that the author list cannot be modified (no addition or deletion of authors) during the commitment phase. The authors should contact ARR with any questions about the review process at editors(a)aclrollingreview.org. Questions about commitment and the post-review process should be sent to the program chairs at acl27-pcs(a)googlegroups.com. As in recent years, some of the presentations at the conference will be for papers accepted by the Transactions of the ACL (TACL) and Computational Linguistics (CL) journals. *Important Dates* * ARR submission deadline: 4 January 2027 * ACL commitment deadline: TBD * Notification of acceptance: TBD * Tutorials: 17 August 2027 * Workshops: 18-19 August 2027 * Main conference: 20-22 August 2027 All deadlines are 11:59 PM UTC-12:00 ("anywhere on Earth"). *Topics of Interest* ACL 2027 has the goal of a broad technical program. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to, the following areas (in alphabetical order): * Special Theme: Homogenization and Knowledge Collapse in LLMs * Clinical and Biomedical Applications * Computational Social Science and Cultural Analytics * Dialogue and Interactive Systems * Discourse and Pragmatics * Efficient Methods for NLP * Ethics, Bias, and Fairness * Human-Centered NLP and Human-AI Interaction * Information Extraction * Information Retrieval and Text Mining * Interpretability and Analysis of Models for NLP * Language Diversity and NLP for Low-resourced Languages * Language Modeling * LLM Agents for NLP * Linguistic Theories, Cognitive Modeling, and Psycholinguistics * Machine Learning for NLP * Machine Translation * Multilingualism and Cross-Lingual NLP * Multimodality and Language Grounding to Vision, Robotics and Beyond * NLP and Code Models * NLP and Symbolic Reasoning * NLP Applications * Phonology, Morphology, and Word Segmentation * Question Answering * Semantics: Lexical and Sentence-Level * Sentiment Analysis, Stylistic Analysis, and Argument Mining * Speech Recognition, Text-to-Speech and Spoken Language Understanding * Summarization * Syntax: Tagging, Chunking and Parsing *Long Papers* Long paper submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis should be included. Long papers may consist of up to 8 pages of content, plus unlimited pages for references and appendices. Upon acceptance, long papers will be given one additional page of content (i.e. up to 9 pages) in the proceedings so that reviewers' comments can be taken into account. *Short Papers* Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished work. Please note that a short paper is not a shortened long paper. Instead, short papers should have a point that can be made in a few pages. Short papers may consist of up to 4 pages of content, plus unlimited references and appendices. Upon acceptance, short papers will be given one additional page of content (i.e. up to 5 pages) in the proceedings so that reviewers' comments can be taken into account. *Findings of the ACL* Papers submitted to ACL 2027, but not selected for the main conference, will also automatically be considered for publication in the Findings of the Association of Computational Linguistics. Acceptance notifications for the main track and Findings will come out simultaneously. *Presentation Mode* Long and short papers will be presented orally or as posters, as determined by the programme committee based on the nature rather than the quality of the work. While short papers will be distinguished from long papers in the proceedings, there will be no distinction in the proceedings between papers presented orally and as posters. Papers accepted to the Findings of the ACL may present a poster. *Presentation Requirements* All accepted papers must be presented at the conference—either online or in-person—in order to appear in the proceedings. Authors of papers accepted for presentation at ACL 2027 must notify the program chairs by the withdrawal deadline if they wish to withdraw the paper. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for ACL 2027 by the early registration deadline; papers without a registered presenting author may be rejected. *Paper Submission and Anonymity* Following standard ACL and ARR policy, submitted papers must be prepared for two-way anonymized review, and no deanonymized preprint may be posted in the month prior to submission. Please see the ARR CfP for more detail (https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp). *Policies on Authorship, Citation and Ethics* ACL 2027 follows the ARR policies on authorship, citation and comparison, and ethics, including the Responsible NLP Research checklist, as well as the ACL Publication Ethics Policy and the ACL Disclosure Policy - please see the ARR CfP (https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp). *Multiple Submission Policy* ACL 2027 follows the ARR policy on multiple submission: we will not consider any paper that is under review in a journal or another conference at the time of submission, and submitted papers must not be submitted elsewhere during the review period. See the ARR CfP for more detail (https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp). *Mandatory Discussion of Limitations* We believe that it is also important to discuss the limitations of your work, in addition to its strengths. Following recent ACL conferences, ACL 2027 requires all papers to have a clear discussion of limitations, in a dedicated section titled "Limitations". This section will appear at the end of the paper, after the discussion/conclusions section and before the references, and will not count towards the page limit. Papers without a limitations section will be automatically rejected without review. Papers resubmitted from previous ARR review rounds that did not include a limitations section must ensure that such a section is included in the ACL 2027 version. While we are open to different types of limitations, just mentioning that a set of results have been shown for English only probably does not reflect what we expect. Mentioning that the method works mostly for languages with limited morphology, like English, is a much better alternative. In addition, limitations such as low scalability to long text, the requirement of large GPU resources, or other things that inspire further investigation are welcome. *Contact Information* General Chair: * Yusuke Miyao, The University of Tokyo Program Chairs: * David Adelani, McGill University * Arianna Bisazza, University of Groningen * Jan Buys, University of Cape Town * Ximena Gutierrez-Vasques, National Autonomous University of Mexico * David Schlangen, University of Potsdam Contact: acl27-pcs(a)googlegroups.com
