[2nd CfP] 3rd Shared Task of the Open Language Data Initiative @ WMT26
by Laurie Burchell 24 Jun '26

24 Jun '26

We invite submissions for the 3rd Shared Task of the Open Language Data Initiative (OLDI), held as part of WMT at EMNLP 2026 (Budapest, 28–29 October). *Key dates (AoE):* - Paper and data submission: 7 August 2026 - Notification of acceptance: 2 September 2026 - Camera-ready: 11 September 2026 *Background* Foundational datasets such as FLORES and NTREX have played a key role in enabling progress in language technologies for some under-served languages. OLDI aims to empower language communities to contribute to the key datasets that expand language technology to more language varieties. Additionally, machine translation depends increasingly on automatic quality evaluation for tasks such as filtering training data, ranking candidates, reinforcement learning, and benchmarking. However, human-annotated quality data exists for only a handful of languages, and how well evaluation methods generalise to new ones remains an open question. *Scope* The task's primary goal is to expand OLDI's open datasets to more languages. We solicit contributions to: - the MT evaluation dataset FLORES+ ( https://huggingface.co/datasets/openlanguagedata/flores_plus) - the OLDI Seed dataset ( https://huggingface.co/datasets/openlanguagedata/oldi_seed) - other high-quality, massively-parallel, open-source datasets (e.g. SMOL, WMT24++, BOUQuET) Contributions may add new languages, varieties or dialects; substantially improve existing datasets; or create entirely new massively multilingual open translation datasets. We also welcome new or extended datasets of *translation quality annotations* for under-served languages: source texts, their machine or human translations, and human judgements of translation quality. *Submissions* To help us gauge interest and coordinate efforts, please email the organisers before submitting: info(a)oldi.org. Full contribution guidelines and submission format are on the shared task website ( https://www2.statmt.org/wmt26/open-data.html) and OLDI's homepage ( https://oldi.org/).

10th Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms (WOAH) @EMNLP: Submission Deadline Extension
by Agostina Calabrese 24 Jun '26

24 Jun '26

*** Submission Deadline Extension *** We invite paper submissions to the 10th Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms (WOAH), which will take place on the 29th of October at EMNLP 2026. Website: https://www.workshopononlineabuse.com/cfp.html Important Dates * Registration deadline for mentorship programme: April 10, 2026 * Notification of mentor/mentee match: April 25, 2026 * Submission due: June 26, 2026 July 3, 2026 * ARR reviewed submission due: August 3, 2026 * Notification of acceptance: August 15, 2026 * Camera-ready papers due: September 10, 2026 * Workshop: 29th October 2026 Overview Digital technologies have brought significant benefits to society, transforming how people connect, communicate, and interact. However, these same technologies have also enabled the widespread dissemination and amplification of abusive and harmful content, such as hate speech, harassment, and misinformation. Given the sheer volume of content shared online, addressing abuse and harm at scale requires the use of computational tools. Yet, detecting and moderating online abuse remains a complex task, fraught with technical, social, legal, and ethical challenges. The 10th Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms (WOAH) invites paper submissions from a diverse range of fields, including but not limited to natural language processing, machine learning, computational social science, law, political science, psychology, sociology, and cultural studies. We explicitly encourage interdisciplinary research, technical and non-technical contributions, and submissions that focus on under-resourced languages. Non-archival papers and civil society reports are also welcome. Topics covered by WOAH include, but are not limited to: * New models or methods for detecting abusive and harmful online content, including misinformation; * Biases and limitations in existing detection models or datasets for abusive and harmful content, especially those in commercial use; * Development of new datasets and taxonomies for online abuse and harms; * Novel evaluation metrics and procedures for detecting harmful content; * Analyses of the dynamics of online abuse, its propagation, and its impact on different communities; * Social, legal, and ethical considerations in detecting, monitoring, and moderating online abuse. Special Theme: “Ten Years of WOAH: Reflecting on Progress and New Frontiers” In its 10th edition, WOAH highlights the theme “Ten Years of WOAH: Reflecting on Progress and New Frontiers”. Over the past decade, WOAH has become a central interdisciplinary venue for online harms research. As harms and enabling technologies have evolved, the field has moved beyond an early focus on textual hate speech and harassment to address more complex phenomena. Advances in AI and online ecosystems have expanded the scale and diversity of harms. Transformer models, multimodal platforms, and recommendation systems have contributed to the escalation of issues like misinformation, radicalisation, child sexual exploitation, identity-based abuse, algorithmic bias, privacy violations, and AI-mediated harms. Methods tackling this have evolved from monolingual lexicon-based approaches to deep learning, multilinguality, multimodality, interpretability, and interdisciplinarity. Despite this progress, fundamental challenges remain. There is limited consensus on what constitutes “harm”, how context and thresholds should be defined, or how harms vary across cultures and modalities. These ambiguities affect datasets and models, constrain comparability, and often marginalise affected communities. The past decade also calls for critical self-reflection. Research has frequently prioritised detection, high-resource languages, and narrowly defined phenomena over intervention, global perspectives, and systemic or structural harms, with insufficient attention to user agency, platform incentives, lived experience, and participatory approaches. Finally, ten years of work have underscored that interdisciplinarity is essential for addressing the sociotechnical nature of the phenomenon. Addressing future online harms will require deeper integration across NLP, ML, social sciences, law, policy, and HCI. WOAH 10 seeks to consolidate lessons from the past decade, identify enduring gaps, and connect research, practice, and policy to guide the next generation of work on online harms. Submission Submission is electronic, using the Softconf START conference management system. Submission link: https://softconf.com/emnlp2026/woah2026/ The workshop will accept three types of papers. 1) Academic Papers (long and short): Long papers of up to 8 pages, excluding references, and short papers of up to 4 pages, excluding references. Unlimited pages for references and appendices. Accepted papers will be given an additional page of content to address reviewer comments. Previously published papers cannot be accepted. 2) Non-Archival Submissions: Up to 2 pages, excluding references, to summarise and showcase in-progress work and work published elsewhere. 3) Civil Society Reports: Non-archival submissions, with a minimum of 2 pages and no upper limit. Can include work published elsewhere. All submissions must use the official ACL style files<https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files>. Submissions that do not conform to the required styles, including paper size, margin width, and font size restrictions, will be rejected without review. All submissions should adhere to the workshop policies https://www.workshopononlineabuse.com/policies.html.
