Second Call for Abstracts: Preconference on Computational Affective Linguistics
by ACL Announcements 12 Nov '26

12 Nov '26

**Second Call for Abstracts: Preconference on Computational Affective Linguistics** We invite submissions to the Computational Affective Linguistics (CAL) preconference at the 2027 Annual Conference of the Society for Affective Science (SAS)! This preconference will be a space for researchers to explore ideas at the intersection of computation, language, and emotion: what can computational analysis of language teach us about emotion, and what can emotion theory teach us about computational methods? We are excited to see cross-disciplinary work that engages with qualitative and quantitative methodologies from diverse fields, including affective science, neuroscience, philosophy, linguistics, and natural language processing (NLP), to advance our understanding of affect and emotions. We encourage submissions from early-stage and junior researchers in the affective science, computational linguistics, and natural language processing communities. Our goal is to foster learning and collaboration across these fields. Authors will have the option to publish extended abstracts on the ACL Anthology. Website: casworkshop.github.io/cal-sas Email [cas-workshop(a)googlegroups.com] with any questions! **Topics** CAL will accept submissions that discuss new ideas, new perspectives, new findings, and works-in-progress, on the topics of computational language processing and affective science. These topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Qualitative and quantitative studies of natural language data that add to our understanding of affect and emotion, including findings relevant to: - theories and nature of emotion - models of emotions (dimensional models, appraisal models, models of constructed emotion) - emotion dynamics (emergence, intensification, decay, transitions) - emotion granularity and emotion regulation - affective embodiment - evolutionary and developmental affect - emotion-cognition interactions 2. Demonstrations of innovative methods for processing, analyzing, and modeling language data to yield insights about affect and emotion. 3. Creation of affective data and resources, for instance, compiling and annotating affect-related information in text, speech, facial and bodily expression, or other communicative modalities.. 4. Work on downstream applications of computational models of language for affect and emotion in various domains, such as: - artificial intelligence and GenerativeAI - health, psychopathology - behavioral social science, the humanities - education, commerce, etc. 5. Discussions of ethics, fairness, and the philosophical implications of affective linguistic modeling, including: - bias and generalizability across demographics - privacy and ethics in data collection - examining whether automatic NLP systems rely on current and valid theories - implications of machines modeling or simulating affect - societal considerations surrounding affective artificial agents **Submission Details** Submissions must feature novel and recent work relating to the topics detailed above. Preliminary work is welcome! To diversify content across the preconference and the main SAS conference, we ask that speakers do not submit identical material to both forums. These abstracts are non-archival, offering the option for publication and presentation at other conference venues. Authors will also have the option to publish extended abstracts on the ACL Anthology. We have two main submission tracks: - Ideas: These submissions showcase a new research idea, proof-of-concept methodology, or theoretical perspectives on the computational understanding of affect and emotion. - Findings: These report new empirical resources, methods, or findings on affect and emotion resulting from a quantitative or qualitative analysis of data. **Format** Submissions can be one of two types: - Abstract a summary (300 words maximum) that motivates the work, provides details necessary to evaluate the idea or findings (e.g., methods, results), and contextualizes the work within computational affective science/linguistics. - Extended abstracts (2 pages max) that elaborate on these elements, including images and visualizations. These may be published on the ACL Anthology. **Key Dates** - Submissions open: December 1, 2026 - Submissions close: January 11, 2027 (11:59pm AoE) - Acceptance notification: January 19, 2027 - Deadline to confirm intent to present (Early bird registration deadline): February 1, 2027 - Preconference: March 4, 2027 **Presentation** Acceptance decisions will consider the quality of submissions while balancing diversity of topics, methods, and presenters. Work must be presented in person at the preconference by an author. All presenters must register for the preconference (details can be found on the SAS website) and are expected to attend the meeting in person in San Diego. Accepted abstracts are to be presented as posters. A small number of submissions will be invited to present flash talks (~10 minutes). **Organizers** - Christopher Bagdon, University of Bamberg, Germany - Krishnapriya Vishnubhotla, National Research Council Canada - Dasha Yermol, University of Kansas, USA - Katie Hoemann, University of Kansas, USA - Kristen A. Lindquist, The Ohio State University, USA - Lyle Ungar, University of Pennsylvania, USA - Roman Klinger, University of Bamberg, Germany - Saif M. Mohammad, National Research Council Canada

[2nd CfP] The 23rd Workshop on Multiword Expressions (MWE 2027)
by Patricia Chiril 12 Nov '26

12 Nov '26

The 23rd Workshop on Multiword Expressions (MWE 2027) 🔗 https://multiword.org/mwe2027/ 📍Athens, Greece 𝕏 https://x.com/mweworkshop 🦋 https://bsky.app/profile/mwe-workshop.bsky.social Full day workshop colocated with the 20th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics ( EACL 2027 , [ https://2027.eacl.org/ | https://2027.eacl.org/ ] ) Organised, sponsored, and endorsed by SIGLEX , the Special Interest Group on the Lexicon of the ACL. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates Direct Submission deadline: December 1, 2026 Pre-reviewed (ARR) submission deadline: December 22, 2026 Notification of acceptance: TBA (January 2027) Camera-ready paper due: January 19, 2027 Workshop date: one full day between March 9–14, 2027 (exact date TBA) All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC-12 (Anywhere on Earth). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview Multiword expressions (MWEs), i.e., word combinations that exhibit lexical, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and/or statistical idiosyncrasies ( Baldwin and Kim, 2010 ), such as " by and large ", " hot dog ", " make a decision " and " break one's leg " are still a pain in the neck for Natural Language Processing. The notion of MWE encompasses closely related phenomena: idioms, compounds, light-verb constructions, phrasal verbs, rhetorical figures, collocations, institutionalised phrases, etc. Given their irregular nature, MWEs often pose complex problems in linguistic modelling (e.g., annotation), NLP tasks (e.g., parsing), and end-user applications (e.g., natural language understanding and Machine Translation), hence still representing an open issue for computational linguistics ( Miletić and Schulte im Walde, 2024; Ramisch et al., 2023; Phelps et al., 2024; Mahajan et al., 2024 ). For more than two decades, the topic of modelling and processing MWEs for NLP has been the focus of the MWE workshop, organized by the MWE section of ACL-SIGLEX in conjunction with major NLP conferences since 2003. Impressive progress has been made in the field, but our understanding of MWEs still requires substantial further research, given their importance and usefulness in NLP applications. This is also relevant to domain-specific NLP pipelines that need to tackle terminologies most often realised as MWEs. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Linguistic aspects of MWE: criteria for their classification, morpho-syntactic and semantic idiosyncrasies, contrastive studies of MWEs in various languages; * MWE resources: corpora, dictionaries, lexicons, treebanks, mono-/multilingual, new and enhanced representation of MWEs in language resources, computational models of compositionality as gold standards for formative intrinsic evaluation, development of multilingual benchmarks for MWE identification; * MWE processing, identification, and recognition in the general language, as well as in specialised languages and domains, including in low-resourced languages; * MWEs in LLMs and embeddings: representation, compositionality, and phrase-level embeddings, adapting LLMs to better handle MWEs, probing LLMs’ understanding of MWEs; * MWE processing to enhance end-user applications. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission formats The workshop invites three types of submissions: * Archival submission of research papers that present substantially original research in both long paper format (8 pages + references) and short paper format (4 pages + references). * System and resource demonstrations that present tools and datasets related to MWEs and MWE processing , which could be demoed during the workshop. System/resource description papers should be up to 4 pages + references, and do not need to be anonymised. * Non-archival submissions describing relevant research presented/published elsewhere ; non-archival submissions will not be included in the MWE proceedings and do not need to be anonymised (they will not undergo reviews); they should contain a short abstract of the paper (1-2 pages) with a link to the already published paper. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper submission and templates Papers should be submitted via the workshop's submission page (to be announced). Please choose the appropriate submission format (archival/system/non-archival). Archival papers with existing reviews will also be accepted through the ACL Rolling Review. Submissions must follow the ACL stylesheet. Authors are encouraged, wherever relevant, to adopt the conventions on citing, glossing, and translating multilingual examples of MWEs promoted by the editors of the Phraseology and Multiword Expressions book series published by Language Science Press. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Organizing Committee Patricia Chiril , Jaka Čibej , Adriana Silvana Pagano , Ivelina Stoyanova , and Sara Stymne Anti-harassment policy The workshop follows the ACL anti-harassment policy.

Workshop on AI for the Scholarly Web (NSLP-SDP 2027): CFP – Deadline: 11 January 2027
by Georg Rehm 11 Nov '26

11 Nov '26

Workshop on AI for the Scholarly Web (NSLP-SDP 2027) 10/11 May 2027 – Co-located with The Web Conference (WebConf) 2027 Dublin, Ireland https://nfdi4ds.github.io/nslp-sdp-2027/ In addition to the regular workshop paper track, NSLP-SDP 2027 features four shared tasks: * ClimateCheck 2027: Cross-Lingual Scientific Fact-Checking of Social Media Claims about Climate Change * SciVQA 2027: Scientific Visual Question Answering * IE4ML 2027: Information Extraction for Machine Learning * READNER 2027: Named Entity Recognition in GitHub READMEs IMPORTANT DATES (FOR BOTH WORKSHOP PAPERS AND SHARED TASK PAPERS) * Submission deadline: 11 January 2027 * Notifications: 08 February 2027 * Camera-ready: 16 February 2027 The scholarly Web has become the primary infrastructure through which scientific knowledge is published, discovered, linked, assessed, and reused. Making this ecosystem machine-actionable is simultaneously a document-understanding problem and a knowledge-acquisition-and-use problem. Scientific knowledge is communicated through long, structurally complex and increasingly multi-modal documents containing specialized terminology, citations, tables, figures, equations, metadata, code, datasets, and other research artefacts. Researchers and research infrastructures need machine-actionable representations of scientific claims, methods, evidence, entities, relations, and provenance in order to search, verify, synthesize, and reuse the rapidly growing body of scientific literature. The 1st Joint Workshop on AI for the Scholarly Web (NSLP-SDP 2027) unifies two established and complementary workshop series. Natural Scientific Language Processing (NSLP) has emphasized scientific-language processing, information extraction, research/scientific knowledge graphs (RKGs/SKGs), research artefact identification/linking, metadata, multilinguality, scientific IR, and research infrastructures. Scholarly Document Processing (SDP) has built a strong community around document understanding, multimodal scholarly content, discourse/argumentation, citation analysis, summarization, QA, bibliometrics/scientometrics, peer review, reproducibility, and research integrity. The joint NSLP-SDP workshop attempts to connect the full pipeline: scholarly Web content => structured and grounded scientific knowledge => Web-scale search, synthesis and trustworthy research agents. SDP has been held at EMNLP 2020<https://ornlcda.github.io/SDProc/>, NAACL 2021<https://sdproc.org/2021/>, COLING 2022<https://sdproc.org/2022/>, ACL 2024<https://sdproc.org/2024/>, and ACL 2025<https://sdproc.org/2025/>. NSLP was held at ESWC 2024<https://nfdi4ds.github.io/nslp2024/>, ESWC 2025<https://nfdi4ds.github.io/nslp2025/>, and LREC 2026<https://nfdi4ds.github.io/nslp2026/>. The 2027 edition differs fundamentally from previous editions by merging the NSLP and SDP communities, moving beyond an NLP-centred venue toward the broader scholarly Web. TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO * LLMs, multimodal models, representation learning, domain adaptation, and scientific-language resources; * Scholarly document understanding: structure & layout, figures, tables, equations, and multimodal grounding; * IE, NER, linking & coreference, relations & events, extraction of datasets, software, methods, tasks, results, claims; * Scholarly and research KGs, linked research objects, semantic annotation, Web-scale metadata integration, provenance, interoperability, machine-actionable scientific knowledge; * Web-scale scholarly search and recommendation, retrieval-augmented AI, scientific QA and synthesis, literature discovery, and autonomous or human-in-the-loop research agents; * Citation & context analysis, discourse & argumentation, novelty & contribution modeling, and claim & evidence linking; * Peer review and writing & reading support, research integrity & reproducibility, generated-content detection, bibliometrics & scientometrics, and science-of-science; * Factuality, uncertainty, robustness, explainability, reproducible evaluation, and responsible & human-centered deployment; * Scholarly Web content, FAIR and open Web resources, digital libraries, repository ecosystems, interoperable research infrastructures, cross-platform scholarly data integration. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES The NSLP-SDP 2027 workshop invites methodological, resource, evaluation, system, and position papers. We especially encourage submissions from first-time authors, students, researchers from underrepresented groups and regions, and work on non-English scholarly communication. * We will not accept work that is under review or has already been published in or accepted for publication in a journal, another conference, or another workshop. * The workshop invites anonymous submissions of regular long papers (5-8 pages without references and appendix); short papers as well as position papers (3-4 pages without references and appendix) presenting, for example, negative results, in-progress projects, or demos. * Authors are permitted to include an optional appendix of up to 2 pages. However, reviewers will not be mandated to review the appendix and all papers must be self-contained. * Submissions are expected to discuss relevant limitations and risks of the work, for example fabricated claims and citations, over-reliance on automated review, assessment, or writing, bias towards English and well-resourced disciplines, privacy and confidentiality, copyright, licensing and provenance, or compute and environmental costs. * Reviewing will be double-blind. Each submission will receive three reviews. * Submissions must be in PDF, formatted in the WebConf 2027 style, i.e., the usual ACM proceedings two-column page style. In LaTeX, please use: \documentclass[sigconf, review]{acmart}. * The proceedings of this workshop will be published as part of the dedicated WebConf 2027 Companion Proceedings volume. * NSLP-SDP 2027 is an in-person workshop. At least one author per contribution must register for the workshop and present in person. * All submissions are done via OpenReview – the link will be provided soon. SHARED TASKS IE4ML 2027: Shared Task on Information Extraction for Machine Learning Reproducing ML research requires structured access to the models, datasets, methods, and relations described in scientific publications. IE4ML builds on GSAP-ERE, an extension of GSAP-NER, and turns its schema into a community benchmark for producing machine-actionable descriptions suitable for scholarly knowledge graphs and Web-scale discovery. The task uses 10 entities and 18 relation types and comprises two subtasks: 1. IE4ML Entity Extraction (span extraction and classification); 2. IE4ML Relation Extraction (given gold entity spans). Training uses 80 publicly released GSAP-ERE publications; validation and test sets each contain 20 newly annotated papers released during the evaluation phases. Shared task co-organisers: Wolfgang Otto, Kanishka Silva, Gan Lu, Sharmila Upadhyaya, Stefan Dietze READNER 2027: Named Entity Recognition in GitHub READMEs READNER 2027 is a fine-grained Named Entity Recognition (NER) shared task. It addresses research-related GitHub README files, where metadata about datasets, software, experimental code, and other research artifacts is often embedded in free-form documentation. GitHub repositories complement research papers by providing datasets, models, source code, and implementation details that help researchers explore and reproduce results. Their README files typically describe the project’s purpose, setup, and usage, and link to related research resources. READNER extracts structured metadata from README documents for research resource discovery and reuse. Participants develop systems that take a GitHub README file as input and identify entity mentions, their boundaries, and their types. Shared task co-organisers: Genet Asefa Gesese, Zongxiong Chen, Mary Ann Tan, Sonja Schimmler ClimateCheck 2027: Cross-Lingual Scientific Fact-Checking of Social Media Claims about Climate Change Social media claims about climate change appear across languages, yet scientific fact-checking resources, including previous ClimateCheck iterations (run at SDP 2025 and NSLP 2026), have largely paired claims and evidence only within English. ClimateCheck 2027 introduces a cross-lingual setting: given a claim in German or Arabic, systems must retrieve supporting or refuting evidence from English-language environmental-science abstracts. The languages span different language families and scripts, enabling evaluation of cross-lingual retrieval and evidence grounding. Claims will be derived from previous English ClimateCheck datasets and validated by native speakers. Subtask 1 – Abstract retrieval: given a claim in (Levantine) Arabic and/or German, and corpus of publications, retrieve the top 10 most relevant abstracts. Subtask 2 – Claim verification: given the claim-abstract pair from subtask 1, classify whether the abstract supports, refutes, or does not have enough evidence about the claim. Shared task co-organisers: Raia Abu Ahmad, Georg Rehm SciVQA 2027: Scientific Visual Question Answering Scientific papers communicate information through unstructured text as well as (semi-)structured figures and tables. Jointly reasoning over both modalities benefits downstream applications such as visual question answering (VQA). SciVQA 2027 builds on the insights from SciVQA 2025<https://sdproc.org/2025/scivqa.html> (run at SDP 2025), shifting the focus toward evaluating the ability of multimodal LLMs to reason over combined modalities (figures, tables, text). SciVQA 2027 introduces a new set of Computer Science and Computational Linguistics papers, with a total of 1,500 manually annotated QA pairs. The shared task features two subtasks: Evidence retrieval – Given a paper and a question, retrieve candidate evidence (paragraphs and/or images) containing information needed to derive the answer. Answer generation – Given a paper and a question, generate an answer.
