CFP:‘LAnguage TEchnologies for Low-resource Languages’ (LaTeLL ’2026)
by Amal Haddad 17 May '26

17 May '26

International Conference 'LAnguage TEchnologies for Low-resource Languages' (LaTeLL '2026) Fes, Morocco 28, 29 and 30 September 2026 www.latell.org/2026/ [1] Call for Papers ***Extended submission deadline 15 June 2026*** *** Note the slightly revised conference dates: 28, 29 and 30 September 2026 *** The conference Natural Language Processing (NLP) has witnessed remarkable progress in recent years, largely driven by the emergence of deep learning architectures and, more recently, large language models (LLMs). Nevertheless, these advances have disproportionately benefited high-resource languages that possess abundant data for model training. By contrast, low-resource languages which account for at least 85% of the world's linguistic diversity and are often spoken by smaller or marginalised communities, have not yet reaped the full benefits of contemporary NLP technologies. This imbalance can be attributed to several interrelated factors, including the scarcity of high-quality training data, limited computational and financial resources, and insufficient community engagement in data collection and model development. Developing NLP applications for low-resource languages poses major challenges, particularly the need for large, well-annotated datasets, standardised tools, and robust linguistic resources. Although several workshops have previously addressed NLP for low-resource languages, LaTeLL is the first international conference dedicated specifically to the automatic processing of such languages. The event aims to provide a forum for researchers to present and discuss their latest work in NLP in general, and particularly in the development and evaluation of language models for low-resource languages. Conference topics We invite submissions on a broad range of themes concerning linguistic and computational studies focusing on low-resource languages, including but not limited to the following topics: Language resources for low-resource languages * Dataset creation and annotation * Evaluation methodologies and benchmarks for low-resource settings * Lexical resources, corpora, and linguistic databases * Crowdsourcing and community-driven data collection * Tools and frameworks for low-resource language processing Core language technologies for low-resource languages * Language modelling and pre-training for low-resource languages * Speech recognition, text-to-speech, and spoken language understanding * Phonology, morphology, word segmentation, and tokenisation * Syntax: tagging, chunking, and parsing * Semantics: lexical and sentence-level representation NLP Applications for low-resource languages * Information extraction and named entity recognition * Question answering systems * Dialogue and interactive systems * Summarisation * Machine translation * Sentiment analysis, stylistic analysis, and argument mining * Content moderation * Information retrieval and text mining Multimodality and Grounding for low-resource languages * Vision and language for low-resource contexts * Speech and text multimodal systems * Low-resource sign language processing Ethics, Equity, and Social Impact for low-resource languages * Bias and fairness in low-resource language technologies * Sociolinguistic considerations in technology development * Cultural appropriateness and sensitivity Human-Centred Approaches in low-resource languages * Usability and accessibility of low-resource language technologies * Educational applications and language learning * Community needs assessment and technology adoption * User experience research in low-resource contexts Multilinguality and Cross-Lingual Methods for low-resource languages * Multilingual language models and their adaptation * Code-switching and code-mixing * Cross-lingual transfer learning in low-resource languages. Special Theme Track 1 -- Building Applications Based on Large Language Models for Low-Resource Languages _LaTeLL'2026_ will feature a Special Theme Track dedicated to the development of applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) for low-resource languages. This track aims to explore innovative methodologies, architectures, and tools that leverage the power of LLMs to enhance linguistic processing, accessibility, and inclusivity for underrepresented languages. Contributions are encouraged on topics such as model adaptation and fine-tuning, multilingual and cross-lingual transfer, ethical and fairness considerations, and the creation of datasets and benchmarks that facilitate the integration of LLM-based solutions in low-resource settings. Special Theme Track 2 -- Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Arabic Dialects This special track addresses the unique challenges and opportunities in processing Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and the rich landscape of Arabic dialects. The diglossic nature of Arabic, where the formal MSA coexists with numerous, widely used spoken dialects, presents a significant hurdle for NLP. While MSA is relatively well-resourced, Arabic dialects are quintessential examples of low-resource languages, often lacking standardised orthographies, annotated corpora, and dedicated processing tools. This track invites submissions on novel research and resources aimed at bridging this gap and advancing the state of the art in Arabic language technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Dialect identification and classification * Creation of corpora and lexical resources for Arabic dialects * Machine translation between MSA and dialects, and across different dialects * Speech recognition and synthesis for dialectal Arabic * Computational modelling of morphology, syntax, and semantics for dialects * NLP applications (e.g., sentiment analysis, NER) for dialectal user-generated content * Code-switching between Arabic dialects, MSA, and other languages Submissions and Publication _LaTeLL'2026_ welcomes high-quality submissions in English, which may take one of the following two forms: * Regular papers:Up to eight (8) pages in length, presenting substantial, original, completed, and unpublished research. * Short/poster papers:Up to four (4) pages in length, suitable for concise or focused contributions, ongoing research, negative results, system demonstrations, and similar work. Short papers will be presented during a dedicated poster session. The conference will not consider submissions consisting of abstracts only. All accepted papers (both long and short) will be published as electronic proceedings (with ISBN) and made available on the conference website at the time of the event. The organisers will submit the proceedings for inclusion in the ACL Anthology.

Universal Dependencies, release 2.18
by Dan Zeman 16 May '26

16 May '26

We are very happy to announce the twenty-fourth release of annotated treebanks in Universal Dependencies, v2.18, available at https://universaldependencies.org/. Universal Dependencies is a project that seeks to develop cross-linguistically consistent treebank annotation for many languages with the goal of facilitating multilingual parser development, cross-lingual learning, and parsing research from a language typology perspective (de Marneffe et al., 2021; Nivre et al., 2020). The annotation scheme is based on (universal) Stanford dependencies (de Marneffe et al., 2006, 2008, 2014), Google universal part-of-speech tags (Petrov et al., 2012), and the Interset interlingua for morphosyntactic tagsets (Zeman, 2008). The general philosophy is to provide a universal inventory of categories and guidelines to facilitate consistent annotation of similar constructions across languages, while allowing language-specific extensions when necessary. The *353* treebanks in v2.18 are annotated according to version 2 of the UD guidelines and represent the following *193* languages: Abaza, Abkhaz, Afrikaans, Akkadian, Akuntsu, Albanian, Alemannic, Amharic, Ancient Greek, Ancient Hebrew, Apurina, Arabic, Armenian, Assamese, Assyrian, Azerbaijani, Bambara, Basque, Bavarian, Beja, Belarusian, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Bokota, Bororo, Brahui, Breton, Bulgarian, Buryat, Cantonese, Cappadocian, Catalan, Cebuano, Central Kurdish, Chinese, Chintang, Chukchi, Classical Armenian, Classical Chinese, Coptic, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Egyptian, English, Erzya, Esperanto, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French, Frisian Dutch, Galician, Georgian, German, Gheg, Gorontalo, Gothic, Greek, Guajajara, Guarani, Gujarati, Gwichin, Haitian Creole, Hausa, Hebrew, Highland Puebla Nahuatl, Hindi, Hittite, Hungarian, Icelandic, Ika, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Javanese, Kaapor, Kadiweu, Kangri, Karelian, Karo, Kazakh, Khoekhoe, Kiche, Komi Permyak, Komi Zyrian, Korean, Kyrgyz, Latgalian, Latin, Latvian, Ligurian, Lithuanian, Livvi, Low Saxon, Luxembourgish, Macedonian, Madi, Maghrebi Arabic French, Makurap, Malayalam, Maltese, Manx, Marathi, Mbya Guarani, Middle Armenian, Middle French, Moksha, Munduruku, Naga, Naija, Neapolitan, Nenets, Nepali, Nheengatu, North Sami, Northern Kurdish, Northwest Gbaya, Norwegian, Occitan, Odia, Old Church Slavonic, Old East Slavic, Old English, Old French, Old Georgian, Old Irish, Old Occitan, Old Turkish, Ottoman Turkish, Pashto, Paumari, Persian, Pesh, Phrygian, Polish, Pomak, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Ruuli, Sanskrit, Scottish Gaelic, Serbian, Shanghainese, Sicilian, Sindhi, Sinhala, Skolt Sami, Slovak, Slovenian, South Levantine Arabic, Southern Kurdish, Spanish, Spanish Sign Language, Swedish, Swedish Sign Language, Tagalog, Tamil, Tatar, Teko, Telugu, Telugu English, Thai, Tswana, Tupinamba, Turkish, Turkish English, Turkish German, Ukrainian, Umbrian, Upper Sorbian, Urdu, Uyghur, Uzbek, Veps, Vietnamese, Warlpiri, Welsh, Western Armenian, Western Sierra Puebla Nahuatl, Wolof, Xavante, Xibe, Yakut, Yiddish, Yoruba, Yupik, Zaar and Zazaki. The 193 languages belong to *36* families: Afro-Asiatic, Arawakan, Arawan, Austro-Asiatic, Austronesian, Basque, Bororoan, Chibchan, Chukotko-Kamchatkan, Code switching, Constructed, Creole, Dravidian, Eskimo-Aleut, Guaicuruan, Indo-European, Japanese, Kartvelian, Khoe-Kwadi, Korean, Macro-Je, Mande, Mayan, Mongolic, Na-Dene, Niger-Congo, Northwest Caucasian, Pama-Nyungan, Sign Language, Sino-Tibetan, Tai-Kadai, Tungusic, Tupian, Turkic, Uralic and Uto-Aztecan.

May 2026 Newsletter - LDC
by Penn LDC 15 May '26

15 May '26

In this newsletter: New publications: MADCAT Phases 1-3 Composite Evaluation Set<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2026T05> CALLHOME German Second Edition<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2026S06> CALLHOME German Lexicon Second Edition<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2026L04> ________________________________ New publications: MADCAT Phases 1-3 Composite Evaluation Set<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2026T05> contains the evaluation data created by LDC for Phases 1-3 of the DARPA MADCAT program and the NIST OpenHaRT<https://www.nist.gov/itl/iad/mig/openhart> 2010 and 2013 evaluations. It consists of handwritten Arabic documents scanned at high resolution and annotated for the physical coordinates of each line and token, digital transcripts, and English translations with content and annotation layers integrated in a single MADCAT XML output. This release includes 1,643 images and corresponding annotation files. Source documents were web text and newswire collected by LDC. Arabic-speaking scribes copied documents by hand, following specific instructions as to the writing style, writing implement, and paper. Each page was scanned and the images annotated. The goal of the MADCAT program was to automatically convert foreign language text images into English transcripts for use by humans and downstream processes, including summarization and information extraction. The core evaluation task in MADCAT was the translation of handwritten Arabic documents. 2026 members can access this corpus through their LDC accounts. Non-members may license this data for a fee. * CALLHOME German Second Edition<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2026S06> was developed by LDC and contains 48 hours of speech from 100 unscripted telephone conversations between native German speakers. This publication is a re-release of the original CALLHOME German collection, combining CALLHOME German Speech (LDC97S43)<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC97S43> and CALLHOME German Transcripts (LDC97T15)<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC97T15>, with additional transcription and updated directory structure, file formats, and documentation. This release contains the 100 telephone conversations published in CALLHOME German Speech which represented training data (80 calls) and development data (20 calls). Participants spoke on topics of their choice in a single telephone call lasting up to 30 minutes. Calls were manually audited for language, recording quality, channel characteristics, dialect, and region. For this second edition, all audio was converted from SPHERE files to FLAC format, and the original training/development partitioning was removed. This release also features revised transcripts conforming to updated LDC transcription guidelines that addressed normalization of annotation formats, standardization of speaker-produced and background noises, application of foreign-language marking, whitespace cleanup, and corrections and consistency fixes. The CALLHOME series consists of telephone conversations and transcripts developed by LDC and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, in support of research in speaker identification, language identification, and related technologies. Languages in the series include American English, Egyptian Arabic, German, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish. 2026 members can access this corpus through their LDC accounts. Non-members may license this data for a fee. * CALLHOME German Lexicon Second Edition<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC2026L04> was developed by LDC and contains 318,809 German words with morphological, phonological, stress, and frequency information. This second edition updates file formats, directory structure, and documentation. The first edition is available as CALLHOME German Lexicon (LDC97L18)<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC97L18>. The words in the lexicon were derived from the CELEX German lexicon (CELEX2 (LDC96L14)<https://catalog.ldc.upenn.edu/LDC96L14>) and from 100 training and development transcripts representing unscripted telephone conversations between native German speakers contained in CALLHOME German Second Edition, LDC2026S04.

ACM ICMI 2026 Call for Late-Breaking Results (LBR)
by Gualtiero Volpe 14 May '26

14 May '26

ICMI 2026 CALL FOR LATE-BREAKING RESULTS (LBR) =============================================== 5-9 October 2026, Napoli - Italy https://icmi.acm.org/2026/ =============================================== Dear colleagues, Please find below the Call for Papers for the Late-Breaking Results (LBR) track of the 28th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2026). Based on the success of the Late-Breaking Results (LBR) track, ICMI 2026 will continue soliciting submissions for this special venue. The goal of this venue is to provide a way for researchers to share emerging results at the conference. Accepted submissions will be presented in a poster session at the conference, and the extended abstract will be published in the Adjunct Proceedings (Companion Volume) of the main ICMI Proceedings. Like similar venues at other conferences, the LBR venue is intended to allow sharing of ideas, getting formative feedback on early-stage work, and furthering collaborations among colleagues. * Online Submission https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions/icmi26a * Highlights - Submission deadline: June 21st, 2026 - Notifications: July 15th, 2026 - Camera-ready deadline: August 2nd, 2026 - Conference Dates: October 6–8, 2026 - Submission format: Anonymized short paper (four-page paper in a double-column format, not including references), following the submission guidelines - Selection process: Peer-Reviewed - Presentation format: Participation in the conference poster session - Proceedings: Included in the Adjunct Proceedings (Companion Volume) and ACM Digital Library - LBR Co-chairs: Daniel Riccio and Hung-Hsuan Huang * What are Late-Breaking Results? Late-Breaking Results (LBR) submissions represent work such as preliminary results, provoking and current topics, novel experiences or interactions that may not have been fully validated yet, cutting-edge or emerging work that is still in exploratory stages, smaller-scale studies, or, in general, work that has not yet reached a level of maturity expected for the full-length main track papers. However, LBR papers are still expected to bring a contribution to the ICMI community, commensurate with the preliminary, short, and quasi-informal nature of this track. * Why submit to the Late-Breaking Results track at ICMI? Accepted LBR papers will be presented as posters during the conference. This provides an opportunity for researchers to receive feedback on early-stage work, explore potential collaborations, and otherwise engage in exciting, thought-provoking discussions about their work in an informal setting that is significantly less constrained than a paper presentation. The LBR track also offers those new to the ICMI community a chance to share their preliminary research as they become familiar with this field. Late-Breaking Results papers appear in the Adjunct Proceedings (Companion Volume) of the ICMI Proceedings. Copyright is retained by the authors, and the material from these papers can be used as the basis for future publications as long as there are significant revisions, as per the ACM and ACM SIGCHI policies. LBR papers will be published as ACM extended abstracts in the Adjunct Proceedings. Under ACM Open, extended abstract article types are not subject to Article Processing Charges (APCs). * Submission Guidelines Extended Abstract An anonymized short paper, four-page paper in a double-column ACM conference format, using LaTeX or Word (excluding references). Papers should follow the same guidelines as papers published in the proceedings of the ACM ICMI conference. The paper should be submitted in PDF format and through the ICMI submission system in the "Late-Breaking Results" track. Due to the tight publication timeline, it is recommended that authors submit a very nearly finalized paper that is as close to camera-ready as possible, as there will be a very short timeframe for preparing the final camera-ready version, and no deadline extensions can be granted. Anonymization Authors are instructed not to include author information in their submission. In order to help reviewers judge the situation of the LBR relative to prior work, authors should not remove or anonymize references to their own prior work. Instead, authors should refer to their own prior work in the third person during submission. After acceptance, such references can be changed to first person if desired. * Review Process LBRs will be evaluated to the extent that they are presenting work still in progress, rather than complete work, which is under-described in order to fit into the LBR format. The LBR track will undergo an external peer review process. Submissions will be evaluated by a number of factors, including (1) the relevance of the work to ICMI, (2) the quality of the submission, and (3) the degree to which it fits the LBR track, for example, in-progress results. More particularly, the quality of the submission will be evaluated based on the potential contributions of the research to the field of multimodal interfaces and its impact on the field and beyond. Authors should clearly justify how the proposed ideas can bring measurable breakthroughs compared to the state of the art. * Attendance Similar rules for registration and attendance will be applied for authors of LBR papers as for regular papers. Further information will be made available later on the conference website. * Website For updates, please visit: https://icmi.acm.org/2026/late-breaking-results/ * Contact For further questions, contact the LBR co-chairs, Daniel Riccio and Hung-Hsuan Huang, at: icmi2026-latebreaking-chairs(a)acm.org We would be grateful if you could circulate this call among colleagues and interested researchers. Best regards, ICMI 2026 LBR Chairs Daniel Riccio and Hung-Hsuan Huang
