========================================================= Call for Papers: HeMAI 2026 Multimodal Interaction with Generative AI Health Applications Workshop at ICMI 2026, Naples, Italy, 9 October 2026 (in person) https://qulab.github.io/HeMAI2026/ ========================================================= Generative AI is changing how people interact with health technology. Large language models, multimodal foundation models, and conversational agents make it possible to combine text, speech, vision, and physiological signals in ways that weren't practical a few years ago, and they raise difficult questions about usability, safety, explainability, trust, and evaluation when the stakes involve someone's health. HeMAI 2026 brings HCI, AI, and health researchers together to work through those questions. We welcome contributions on multimodal interaction techniques for health systems, conversational and embodied agents in healthcare, integration of text/speech/vision/biosignals, explainability and transparency, human-AI collaboration, safety and trust, ethical and regulatory issues, evaluation methodologies, and real-world deployments. Submission types: - Full research papers (up to 8 pages, excluding references) - Short / work-in-progress / position / demo papers (up to 4 pages, excluding references) Submissions follow ICMI 2026 author guidelines: https://icmi.acm.org/2026/guidelines/ Papers rejected from the main ICMI track are welcome if they fit the scope. Important dates (AoE): - Paper submission: 6 July 2026 - Notification: 29 July 2026 - Camera-ready: 1 August 2026 - Workshop: 9 October 2026 Workshop papers will be indexed by ACM Digital Library in an adjunct proceedings to ICMI 2026.

First CfP: 13th Web-as-Corpus (WaC-13) Workshop @EMNLP2026, Budapest, Hungary, 24-29 Oct, 2026
by Veronika Laippala 06 May '26

First Call for Papers 13th Web-as-Corpus (WaC-13) Workshop @EMNLP2026, Budapest, Hungary, 24-29 Oct, 2026 https://wacky-workshop.github.io/ The World Wide Web has evolved from a resource for building linguistic corpora into the central data infrastructure powering modern natural language processing and Large Language Models (LLMs). As web-scale data increasingly shapes AI systems’ knowledge and capabilities, understanding its quality, representativeness, and ethical implications has become critical. At the same time, the “more is better” paradigm is being challenged by issues such as machine-generated content, data toxicity, limited metadata, and the under-representation of many languages and domains. These challenges call for a shift toward Data-Centric AI, focusing on the curation, analysis, and responsible use of web-derived data. The 13th Web-as-Corpus (WaC-13) workshop provides a multidisciplinary forum for research addressing the full lifecycle of web data. We invite submissions on methods, resources, and applications related to web corpora, with special emphasis on multilingual data and less-resourced languages. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Creation and evaluation of high-quality datasets for foundation models (e.g., data collection, filtering, enrichment, language identification) * Use of web data in empirical linguistic research * Analysis of web-scale corpora for quality, representativeness, and societal insights * Ethical and legal aspects of collecting, sharing, and using web data By bringing together researchers from NLP, linguistics, and the social sciences, WaC aims to advance best practices for one of the field’s most influential data sources. Important dates: Direct paper submission deadline: 7 August, 2026 Pre-reviewed ARR commitment deadline: 1 September, 2026 Notification of acceptance: 5 September, 2026 Camera-ready paper due: 20 September, 2026 Conference dates: 24-29 Oct, 2026 Submissions: Submissions will be possible through ARR commitment and through openreview.net (more details to follow on https://wacky-workshop.github.io/).

APPLICATIONS AND SUBMISSION GUIDELINES SUBMISSION WINDOW: May 5 - May 12, 2026 (Beijing Time) The offical language will be Chinese. Applicants are required to complete the official application form and submit their Curriculum Vitae (CV), research background, learning objectives, and academic recommendation letters. The organizing committee will conduct a merit-based selection process. Admission results will be announced by June 1, 2026, via email. Admitted participants are required to sign a letter of commitment. Once successfully enrolled, withdrawing from the program or switching tracks is not permitted without valid, exceptional reasons. PARTICIPANT CAPACITY AND GRADUATION CRITERIA - CAPACITY: Each track is strictly limited to 40 on-site and 40 online participants. The total program capacity is 240 participants. - GRADUATION ASSESSMENT: Each participant must complete an independent research project by the end of the program, such as a humanities database, a statistical analysis report, or a prototype LLM tool. - CERTIFICATION: Participants who successfully pass the final assessment will receive an official Certificate of Completion. Outstanding projects will be awarded an Excellence Certificate. Focus: Driven by the rapid expansion of large-scale data ecosystems and Large Language Models (LLMs), research across the humanities and social sciences is undergoing a significant transformation. Traditional disciplines, including linguistics, literature, history, and philology, are increasingly adopting computational technologies to develop innovative, data-driven methodologies. Central to this methodological shift is the development of reliable data infrastructure built upon well-annotated corpora. Furthermore, adapting and deploying artificial intelligence — particularly fine-tuned LLMs — for humanistic inquiry has become an essential skill for the next generation of scholars. To advance interdisciplinary research, empower scholars with both humanistic depth and computational expertise, and foster global academic exchange, Nanjing Normal University is proud to launch this intensive summer program in partnership with our esteemed co-hosts. This program is dedicated mainly (but not exclusively) to undergraduates, postgraduates, and young researchers specializing in Digital Humanities, Computational Linguistics, Chinese Language and Literature, History, Philology, and related disciplines. Scholars focusing on the intersection of the humanities with large-scale datasets and LLMs are particularly welcome.
