by Lauersdorf, Mark R. 14 Aug '26

14 Aug '26

==> Only **one more week** to submit your abstract! <== *** FINAL Call for Abstracts *** *** NARNiHS 2027 *** North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics *** Ninth Annual Meeting *** 100% IN PERSON *** Co-Located with the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) Annual Meeting *** San Francisco, California, USA *** 6-9 January 2027 This event offers an opportunity for scholars from all over the world to gather and share leading research in historical sociolinguistic methods of linguistic inquiry; and we invite our fellow historical sociolinguists and scholars in related fields from our global scholarly community to join us in San Francisco for our 9th Annual Meeting. Consult this Call for Abstracts on the web: https://narnihs.org/?page_id=3542 . ---------- Call for Abstracts ----------. Abstract submission online: https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/NARNiHS_2027 Deadline: Monday, 24 August 2026, 11:59 PM US Eastern time. Late abstracts will not be considered. The North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics (NARNiHS) is accepting abstracts for its 9th Annual Meeting. As a Sister Society of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA), NARNiHS will hold its Annual Meeting sessions at the LSA Annual Meeting in San Francisco, Wednesday-Saturday, 6-9 January 2027. The 9th edition of this inclusive NARNiHS event seeks to provide a collaborative environment where presenters bring fully developed work for presentation and enrichment. We see the NARNiHS Annual Meeting as a place for showcasing excellent projects in historical sociolinguistics, seeking feedback from peers, and engaging in productive development of the field's enduring questions. NARNiHS welcomes papers in all areas of historical sociolinguistics, which is understood as the application and/or development of sociolinguistic theories, methods, and models for the study of historical language variation and change over time, or more broadly, the study of the interaction of language and society in historical periods and from historical perspectives. Thus, a wide range of linguistic areas, subdisciplines, methodologies, and adjacent disciplines easily find their place within historical sociolinguistics, and we encourage submission of abstracts that reflect this broad scope. Abstracts will be accepted for both 20-minute papers and posters. Accepted papers will be organized into thematic sessions that will be scheduled throughout the 4 days of the LSA conference; accepted posters will be scheduled together in the LSA poster gallery. Please note that, at NARNiHS events, poster presentations are an integral and equal part of the intellectual exchange (not second-tier presentations). Abstracts will be assigned a paper or a poster presentation based on determinations in the review process about the most effective format for the submission. However, *if you prefer that your submission be considered primarily for poster presentation*, please specify this in your abstract. Successful abstracts will demonstrate *thorough grounding* in historical sociolinguistics, *scientific rigor* in the formulation of research questions, and *promise for rich discussion* of ideas. Successful abstracts will be explicit about which *theoretical frameworks*, *methodological protocols*, and *analytical strategies* are being applied or critiqued. *Data sources and examples* should be sufficiently presented, so as to allow reviewers a full understanding of the scope and claims of the research. Please note that *the connection of your research to the field of historical sociolinguistics* should be explicitly outlined in your abstract. Failure to adhere to these criteria will likely result in rejection of the abstract. *** Abstract Format Guidelines ***. - Abstracts must be submitted in PDF format. - Abstracts must fit on one 8.5x11-inch or A4 page, with margins no smaller than 1 inch (2.54 cm) and a font style and size no smaller than Times New Roman 12 point. You are encouraged to use the entire page to provide a full and robust description of the research. All additional supporting content (visualizations, trees, tables, figures, captions, examples, and references) must fit on a single (1) additional page. No exceptions to these requirements are allowed; abstracts longer than one page or with more than one additional page of supporting content will be rejected without review. - Specify if you prefer your submission be considered primarily for a poster presentation. - Anonymize your abstract. We realize that sometimes complete anonymity is not attainable, but there is a difference between the nature of the research creating an inability to anonymize and careless non-anonymizing (in citations, references, file names, etc.). Be sure to also anonymize your PDF file (you may do so in Adobe Acrobat Reader by clicking on "File", then "Properties", removing your name if it appears in the "Author" line of the "Description" tab, and re-saving the file before submission). Do not use your name as the file name when saving your PDF (e.g. Smith_Abstract.pdf); file names may not be automatically anonymized by the EasyAbs system. Rather, use non-identifying information in your file name (e.g. HistSoc4Lyfe.pdf). Your name should only appear in the online form accompanying your abstract submission. Abstracts that are not sufficiently anonymized wherever possible will be rejected without review. *** General Requirements ***. - Abstracts must be submitted electronically using the following link: https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/conference/NARNiHS_2027 - Authors may submit a maximum of two abstracts: One single-author abstract and one co-authored abstract. - Authors may not submit identical abstracts for presentation in NARNiHS Sessions and at the LSA Annual Meeting or another LSA Sister Society meeting (ADS, ANS, NAHoLS, SCiL, SPCL, or SSILA). - Specify if you prefer your submission be considered primarily for a poster presentation. - After submission, no changes of author, title, or wording of the abstract may occur. If your abstract is accepted, adjustment of typographical errors is permitted before a final version of the abstract is printed in the conference booklet. - Papers and posters must be delivered as projected in the abstract or represent bona fide developments of the same research. - Authors are expected to attend the conference in-person and present their own papers and posters. This will not be a hybrid event. Contact us at NARNiHistSoc(a)gmail.com with any questions.

14 Aug '26

Call for papers Special Session on Agentic AI for Spatio-Temporal Information Extraction and Reasoning - SAIS 2026 Following the rapid emergence of agentic applications and the growing volume of event-centric news and social media posts, we announce the first special track on Spatio-Temporal Information Extraction and Reasoning of the AGENTICS 2026 conference, which this year is part of the 18th Joint Conference on Computational Intelligence and will take place in Angers, France. We aim to bring together research where agentic AI and Large Language Models are utilized for spatio-temporal grounding of events, entities, and sentiments from textual sources. This also includes the construction of event and entity relations, graphs, and timelines and the spatio-temporal inference of implicitly mentioned locations and time periods. We welcome contributions on agentic reasoning for spatio-temporal task planning: for example, spatio-temporal reasoning from information extracted from text; reasoning over structured event databases, spatio-temporal knowledge graphs, and clusters; spatio-temporal attribute propagation; reasoning about sequences of events; and all other spatio-temporal reasoning in a text-based context. We will address also downstream applications of these technologies like domain-specific monitoring agents for conflict, disasters, environmental change, public health, and other crisis and policy-related domains. Finally, we encourage work on early warning and forecasting with LLMs, and on reasoning over event sequences and spatial proximity to support downstream analysis and decision-making. In particular, we welcome submissions addressing the following main topics: spatio-temporal grounding and extraction using or interacting with LLM or agentic AI, spatio-temporal agentic reasoning, as well as downstream agentic or LLM-based applications. We also address evaluation techniques and benchmarks of the above mentioned approaches. Additionally, submissions on all other topics, related to agentic and LLM based spatio-temporal reasoning and extraction from texts will be considered. Website: https://agentics.scitevents.org/SpecialSessions.aspx Important dates: Paper Submission: September 1, 2026 Authors Notification: September 9, 2026 Camera Ready and Registration: September 18, 2026 Co-chairs of the Special Session: Hristo Tanev Joint Research Centre, Data Intelligence for Policy Unit, European Commission, Italy Milena Slavcheva Institute of Information and Communication Technologies, Department of Artificial Intelligence and Language Technologies, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Bulgaria Bertrand De Longueville Joint Research Centre, Text Mining and Artificial Intelligence Competence Centre, European Commission, Italy

Third and Last Call for Papers: The 7th Workshop on Gender Bias in NLP (GeBNLP 2026)
by Agnieszka Faleńska 11 Aug '26

11 Aug '26

Third and Last Call for Papers: The 7th Workshop on Gender Bias in NLP (GeBNLP 2026) 5th AACL & 15th IJCNLP, November 9, 2026 Hengqin, China (Remote-only mode) About the Workshop The GeBNLP workshop <https://gebnlp-workshop.github.io/> serves as a leading venue for the study, evaluation, and mitigation of gender bias in natural language processing. As large language models (LLMs) become foundational to recent NLP applications, addressing how these systems represent and affect different genders, alongside intersecting demographic axes such as race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, and ability, remains a critical challenge for the AI community. While foundational progress has been made in algorithmic debiasing and balanced data collection, recent large-scale evaluations reveal that state-of-the-art models continue to exhibit persistent stereotypes and confidence disparities across intersectional identities (Siddique et al., 2024; Savoldi et al., 2024). Our workshop serves as a multidisciplinary bridge, enabling researchers to define shared standards for tasks and metrics that ensure technical advancements are deeply rooted in the social and ethical realities of systemic harm (Dai et al., 2024). Topics of Interest We invite submissions on a wide range of topics related to gender bias in NLP, including but not limited to: Measurement and Evaluation: New metrics and datasets for quantifying bias in LLMs, MT, and multimodal systems. Mitigation Strategies: Technical approaches to debiasing (e.g., fine-tuning, adapter-based methods, or prompting strategies). Multilingual and Cross-Cultural Perspectives: Bias in low-resource languages or non-Western cultural contexts. Intersectionality: Research exploring how gender bias intersects with race, disability, age, or nationality. Ethical and Legal Frameworks: Policy implications and the "Human-in-the-loop" role in auditing AI systems. Authors are encouraged to go beyond binary gender definitions and discuss how their work addresses the complexity of intersecting stereotypes and the diverse demographic contexts involved. Submission Guidelines Long Papers are up to 8 pages and short Papers are up to 4 pages (excluding references and appendix). Non-Archival Submissions: Authors may opt for non-archival submission, allowing work of standard conference quality to be presented without being published in the official proceedings. Submission Link <https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/AACL-IJCNLP/2026/Workshop/GeBNLP…> (Blind submission is required) Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: Wednesday, September 2, 2026 Pre-reviewed (ARR) submission deadline: Tuesday, September 29, 2026 Notification of Acceptance: Friday, October 2, 2026 Camera-Ready Version Due: Monday, October 12, 2026 Workshop Date: Monday, November 9, 2026 Paper Integrity Policy (Important) We endorse the EMNLP 2026 Paper Integrity Policy <https://2026.emnlp.org/paper-integrity-policy/>. Submissions that misuse AI, include hallucinated citations, present thinly sliced contributions, or are entirely AI-generated may be desk rejected. AI-assisted writing is permitted <https://www.aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php/ACL_Policy_on_Publication_Ethics…>, provided authors remain responsible for the work.
