The 2nd LLMs4Subjects Shared Task: LLM-based Subject Tagging for the TIB Technical Library's Digital Catalog
Theme: The Development of Energy- and Compute-Efficient LLM Systems
Organized as part of the German Evaluation (GermEval 2025) Shared Task Series
10. - 12. September, 2025
Hildesheim, Germany
(co-located with KONVENS 2025 - Conference on Natural Language Processing)
2nd LLMs4Subjects Shared Task: https://sites.google.com/view/llms4subjects-germeval/

KONVENS 2025: https://konvens-2025.hs-hannover.de/about/
Task Overview
LLMs4Subjects challenges the research community to develop cutting-edge LLM-based solutions for subject tagging of technical records from Leibniz University's Technical Library (TIBKAT). Participants are tasked with leveraging large language models (LLMs) to tag technical records using the GND taxonomy. The task involves bilingual language modeling, as systems must process technical documents in both German and English. Successful solutions may be integrated into the operational workflows of TIB, the Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology.
With the rapid advancements in LLMs, the focus is shifting toward making these models more energy- and compute-efficient while maintaining high performance. Recent innovations, such as the DeepSeek series, have demonstrated how techniques like mixture-of-experts (MoE) and model distillation can significantly reduce computational costs without sacrificing effectiveness.
The 2nd LLMs4Subjects shared task highlights the importance of efficiency in LLMs, encouraging participants to explore strategies that enhance model performance while optimizing for energy consumption and inference speed. We welcome approaches (but not limited to) that leverage model compression, quantization, efficient fine-tuning, and adaptive computation techniques to push the boundaries of sustainable AI development.
Subtasks
The 2nd LLMs4Subjects shared task organizes the following two subtasks:
Subtask 1 - Multi-Domain Classification of Library Records
Subtask 2 - Large-scale Multilabel Subject Indexing of Library Records

*/Unveiling linguistic bias: Approaches to accent perception and
discrimination/*
📅 *May 26, 2025*
🕓 *4:40 PM – 5:30 PM (CEST)*
*Venue*: Online
*Attendees*: Secondary school teachers, researchers, language instructors
*Summary: *Accent discrimination remains one of the most pervasive forms
of linguistic bias, influencing social perceptions, identity
construction, and attitudes towards language variation. This talk
examines how accents shape linguistic hierarchies and social
interactions, drawing on three research projects that employ distinct
methodologies. First, we will explore how folk linguistic methods, such
as map-drawing tasks, reveal nuanced spatial dimensions of language
attitudes, challenging homogenising conceptualisations of World
Englishes. This will be illustrated through a study on how a
first-generation Indian diasporic community in Germany perceives and
evaluates accent variation in Indian English. We will then turn to
traditional language attitude research methods, focusing on
questionnaire data to investigate overt stigmatisations and highlighting
the importance of scale validation in direct attitude measurement. This
discussion will be grounded in a pilot study on Italian university
students’ direct attitudes towards English in Italy and their
perceptions of Italian English. Finally, we will examine language
attitudes in primary education in Cameroon, emphasising the importance
of understanding children’s language perceptions within broader
ideological frameworks. This analysis draws on data from parental and
children’s questionnaires, as well as semi-structured interviews with
children. By shedding light on early linguistic gatekeeping and its role
in decolonising language education, this study also explores when and
how these beliefs become embedded in society. Taken together, these
projects demonstrate how different methodological approaches can be
employed to investigate attitudes towards accents and linguistic
variation, ultimately providing insights into how we can better
understand and tackle accent discrimination.
*Bio*: Dr. Giuliana Regnoli is assistant professor of English
linguistics at the University of Salerno and a postdoctoral research
fellow at the University of Regensburg. Her research interests include
variationist sociolinguistics, sociophonetics, language attitudes,
perceptual dialectology, and World Englishes. She is currently working
on children's English in Cameroon and Italian university students'
attitudes toward English(es) world-wide.

Dear all,
As the deadline is fast approaching, I would like to inform you about a
call for papers for a thematic track at FedCSIS 2025 (IEEE #61123)
called "AI in Digital Humanities, Computational Social Sciences and
Economics Research (AI-HuSo)". FedCSIS 2025 will be held in Kraków,
Poland, 14-17 September 2025.
Paper submission (no extensions): 25.05.2025
See https://2025.fedcsis.org/thematic/ai-huso for details.
This thematic session is dedicated to the computational study of Social
Sciences, Economics and Humanities, including all subjects like, for
example, education, labour market, history, religious studies, theology,
cultural heritage, and informative predictions for decision-making and
behavioural-science perspectives. While digital methods, intelligence
systems, and AI have been emerging topics in these fields for several
decades, this thematic session is not only limited to discoveries in
these domains, but also dedicated to the reflections of these methods
and results within the field of computer science. Thus, we are in
particular interested in interdisciplinary exchange and dissemination
with a clear focus on computational and AI methods for intelligence systems.
Since there is a clear methodological overlap between these three
domains and often similar algorithms and AI approaches are considered,
we see this thematic session as place for interdisciplinary learning,
discussing a joint toolbox as a support for scholars from these field
with human and context-aware agents.
The aim of this thematic session is thus to bridge the gap between
scientific domains, foster interdisciplinary exchange and discuss how
research questions from other domains challenge current computer
science. In particular, we are interested in communications between
researchers from different fields of computer science, social sciences,
economics, humanities, and practitioners from different fields.
Topics
======
The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:
- AI and computational approaches for the interdisciplinary work of
the social sciences, economics, and humanities: report on theoretical,
methodological, experimental, and applied research.
- AI and computational approaches for linking data from different
digital resources, including online social networks, web and data
mining, Knowledge Graphs, Ontologies.
- AI and computational methods for text mining and textual analysis,
for example texts within social sciences, digital literary studies,
computational stylistics and stylometry.
- Text encoding, computational linguistics, annotation guidelines,
OCR for humanities, economics, and social sciences.
- Network analysis, including social and historical network analysis.
- Ethical and philosophical considerations of AI in society,
education and humanties research
In general, the applications of interest are included in the list below,
but are not limited to:
- Labour market research and qualification, including
behavioral-science perspectives.
- Education: Digital methods and systems, e-learning, adult
education, etc.
- Contributions to the application of technology to culture, history,
and societal issues: For example, computational text analysis,
analytical and visualization, databases, etc.
- In particular, we welcome submissions which focus on a critical
reflection of digital methods in the humanities, economics and social
sciences within computer science.
- Linking of digital resources, a discussion of data sets, their
quality and reliability, combining quantitative and qualitative data,
anonymization and data protection.
