EURALEX Talks: ‘Pattern and Construction in Learner Dictionaries’ Susan Hunston (29 April 2026 at 12pm CET - online)
by REES, GERAINT PAUL 21 Apr '26

21 Apr '26

On 29 April 2026 at 12pm CET, Professor Susan Hunston will give a talk entitled ‘Pattern and Construction in Learner Dictionaries’ as part of the European Association for Lexicography (EURALEX) Talks series. This talk is based on a Leverhulme-funded project (EM-2022-022) seeking to unify three approaches to grammar and lexis in English: Pattern Grammar, Construction Grammar, and Systemic Functional Grammar. These represent three approaches to the description of grammar and lexis, from the point of view of observation, cognition, and social semiotic respectively. The talk first explores the relationship between patterns and constructions, with examples from the 50 verb complementation patterns analysed in the project. It discusses how a focus on construction might influence the format of learner dictionaries. The talk then considers the relationship between constructions and systemic networks, speculating on potential resources for learners based on meaning networks. Examples are taken from the 10 semantic fields discussed in the project. Further details can be found on the EURALEX talks page <https://euralex.org/euralex-talks/> We hope to see you there.

[CFP] 3rd Workshop on Language Models for Underserved Communities (LM4UC)
by Fred PHILIPPY 21 Apr '26

21 Apr '26

We are excited to announce the 3rd Language Models for Underserved Communities (LM4UC) workshop, co-located with IJCAI 2026. The workshop will take place in person and virtually between August 15-17, 2026, in Bremen. LM4UC invites researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to address challenges and propose innovative solutions for building and deploying language models (LMs) for underserved languages and communities. Underserved communities often lack adequate access to advanced NLP technologies due to limited linguistic data, insufficient computational resources, or inadequate AI governance frameworks. This gap hinders equitable access to NLP advancements, exacerbating the digital divide. Our workshop aims to address this by fostering a multidisciplinary dialogue around the development of LMs that prioritize cultural sensitivity, resource efficiency, and sustainable AI practices. Topics of Interest We invite submissions of full papers, ongoing work, position papers, and survey papers on topics including, but not limited to: 1. Evaluation Design: Evaluations are no longer passive datasets. They are mechanisms that shape model development. We invite research that focuses on principled, technically grounded benchmark design. 2. Cultural Alignment & Safety: Most alignment research assumes Western norms. We invite papers that focus on technically grounded alignment methods that generalize across cultures and languages. 3. Agentic Systems in Global Environments: As LLMs become agents, we need formal evaluation and control in multilingual, multi-cultural environments. Submission Guidelines We welcome long papers (8 pages) and short papers (4 pages), excluding references. Submissions must follow the IJCAI 2026 style guidelines. Important Dates * Submission deadline: May 24, 2026 * Notification of acceptance: June 7, 2026 * Camera-ready paper due: August 1, 2026 * Workshop dates: August 15/16/17, 2026 Submit your paper via OpenReview: https://openreview.net/group?id=ijcai.org/IJCAI/2026/Workshop/LM4UC Contact Us: For inquiries, please contact the workshop organizer: lm4uc.organizers(a)gmail.com<mailto:lm4uc.organizers@gmail.com> <mailto:lm4uc.organizers@gmail.com>

20 Apr '26

RetroEval 2026: Symposium on Natural Language Generation Evaluations ============================================ 1-2 June 2026, Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom https://retroeval.github.io/ ============================================ Evaluation in the field of Natural Language Generation (NLG) has changed considerably over the past several decades. This special symposium in honour of Prof. Ehud Reiter’s retirement provides a forum for academic and industry researchers to look back on the topic of how evaluations in the field of NLG have changed and to explore unaddressed challenges. The two day symposium will be held in-person at the Sir Duncan Rice Library in the historic University of Aberdeen, June 1-2, 2026. For this symposium, we welcome submissions of long papers, short papers, and extended abstracts. *** Workshop Theme *** Ehud Reiter has been a leading light in Natural Language Generation (NLG) research throughout the four decades he worked in this area, in both academia (Aberdeen) and industry (CoGenTech; Arria NLG). Ehud’s influence extends to all aspects of NLG, but the areas in which it has arguably been the strongest is evaluation of NLG systems. On the occasion of his retirement, this workshop, which is held in his honour, will therefore focus on evaluation of NLG systems, highlighting in particular some of the topics that Ehud has tended to emphasize (see below) such as the importance of reproducibility and the risks of data contamination. *** Topics of Interest *** Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: -- The aims of NLG and NLG evaluation -- Intrinsic versus extrinsic NLG evaluation -- Evaluation of NLG systems in the real world -- Impact assessment of NLG systems and LLMs -- New evaluation challenges arising from the use of LLMs -- Hallucination annotation and its role in NLG evaluation -- Statistical analysis for NLG evaluations -- Data contamination in NLG evaluation -- LLMs as evaluators: opportunities and pitfalls -- The role of LLMs in the development of evaluation metrics -- Reproduction and reproducibility of human evaluation experiments -- Publication bias: What to do with negative results? -- Pre-publication of research hypotheses in NLG evaluation -- NLG evaluation versus psycholinguistic experimentation: what can we learn from each other? -- Disciplinary cultures and evaluation methods -- Evaluating NLG systems/LLMs for assistive technology *** Submission Types *** The workshop accepts the following submission types: • Long Papers (archival) • Short Papers (archival) • Extended Abstracts (non-archival) Accepted contributions will be presented as oral or poster presentations. *** Archival Submissions *** • Long papers: • Up to 8 pages (excluding references) • Unlimited references • Up to 2 appendix pages • 1 additional page in the final version to address reviewer comments • Short papers: • Up to 4 pages (excluding references) • Unlimited references • Up to 1 appendix page • 1 additional page in the final version for reviewer comments *** Non-Archival Submissions *** • Extended abstracts: • Up to 2 pages including references • 1 additional appendix page for tables/figures • Selection based on the symposium fit *** Submission Format *** • Two-column ACL 2026 format • LaTeX template only • PDF submissions only • Submissions via OpenReview *** Important Dates *** Note: All deadlines are 23:59 UTC-12. • ARR commitment deadline (archival): 16 March, 2026 * Direct paper submission deadline (non-archival): 17 April, 2026 • Extended Direct paper submission deadline (archival): 28 April, 2026 (was 24 April, 2026) • New Notification of acceptance: 11 May, 2026 (was 8 May, 2026) • Camera-ready deadline: 22 May, 2026 • Symposium dates: 1-2 June, 2026 *** Review Policy *** Long and short papers will follow ACL double-blind review policies. Submissions must be anonymized, including self-references and links. Papers violating anonymity requirements will be rejected without review. Demo descriptions are exempt from anonymization.

Deadline extension: BriGap-3, Bridges and Gaps between Formal and Computational Linguistics
by Timothée Bernard 20 Apr '26

20 Apr '26

*Deadline extension: BriGap-3, Bridges and Gaps between Formal and Computational Linguistics* Venue: Université Paris Cité, campus des Grands moulins, *Paris, France* Event date: *July 11th, 2026* Event website: https://brigap-workshop.github.io/ *BriGap-3 is a venue for formal linguists, computational linguists, and NLP scientists to meet: what fruitful interactions can we have? How do we build upon each other’s work?* ** Context ** Due to the groundbreaking achievements of the last decade, the ongoing discourse in NLP has shifted more to what can be achieved through language than studying language for its own sake, and traditional conferences are increasingly dominated by engineering-oriented work. It could thus appear that computational and formal linguistics are more than ever separate domains. Yet, we are also witnessing a growing interest in linguistics in both explaining the successes of neural models and uncovering their limitations. Conversely, all kinds of computational methods have proven their usefulness for linguistics time and again. To what extent are these traditions truly divorced, and what fruitful bridges can be (re)built? To answer these questions, the third iteration of the workshop on Bridges and Gaps between Formal and Computational Linguistics (BriGap-3) 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. ** Event 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 computational and information-theoretical 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 ** - *Raquel FERNÁNDEZ*, Universiteit van Amsterdam - *Tal LINZEN*, New York University (online) ** Submission details ** The event is designed with a widely inclusive submission policy so as to foster as vibrant a discussion as possible. In particular, we will accept: - Archival submissions, corresponding to novel and unpublished research, to be included in the event proceedings, - Non-archival submissions, corresponding to work in progress, early results, and articles presented in other venues that engage with the topics of the event. The event accepts both archival (original and unpublished research) submissions in either short (up to 4 pages) or long (up to 8 pages) format, and non-archival (work-in-progress, dissemination of research published or accepted elsewhere, etc.) submissions in short (up to 4 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-3 will be indexed in the ACL Anthology. Please use the ACL style templates available here: https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files Submission link: https://openreview.net/group?id=BriGap/2026/Workshop Please be aware that to submit on OpenReview, you need an OpenReview profile, and that the activation process might take up to two weeks (in case you do not use an institutional email). While it is often syntactically correct and coherent to some extent, the text produced by current generative AI systems falls below our expectations in terms of depth, clarity, and precision. Conceptual clarity and argumentation will be key criteria in the evaluation of submissions. We therefore *strongly* discourage the use of AI systems. In addition, the detection of any hallucinations in a submission (whether in the bibliography or elsewhere) will lead to rejection, regardless of the other qualities of the text. ** Important dates *- Extended submission deadline: Sunday, May 3rd, 2026* (23:59 AoE) - Notification of acceptance: Monday, May 11th 2026 - Event: Saturday, July 11th, 2026 ** Contact ** For questions, please send an email to brigapworkshop(a)gmail.com or contact one of the event chairs: - Timothée Bernard, Université Paris Cité - Emmanuele Chersoni, Hong Kong Polytechnic University - Giulia Rambelli, Università di Bologna
