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.

*** Reading with NARNiHS ***
[reading group of the North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics]
==> https://narnihs.org/?page_id=3288
Join our online reading group to discuss hot-off-the-press publications in historical sociolinguistics with the authors!
The fifth session of "Reading with NARNiHS" is taking place on Thursday, 24 September 2026, at 10:00 am US Eastern time / 4:00 pm European Central time and features Sandrine Tailleur with her recent historical morpho-syntactic work emphasizing the use of multiple types of data (including historical corpora) to get a fuller picture in the investigation of the complex course of language change.
Reading with NARNiHS is a vibrant venue for engagement with cutting-edge work in historical sociolinguistics, accessible to researchers at all levels. Reading with NARNiHS combines aspects of "meet the author" + "author interview" + "authors read their works" + "classic reading group discussion" as we interact together with new scholarship and its authors.
Anna Havinga will be our moderator, and there will be plenty of time for your questions. So, please come along for an enriching one-hour exchange about the most current topics in historical sociolinguistics!
To receive the Zoom link and the article we're going to discuss on 24 September, please sign up via the following form by Monday, 21 September 2026 (it takes less than a minute):
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeKs-ZDztlFQloZ1AUX8kSyb8dXlhJziCB…
We are looking forward to seeing many of you on Thursday, 24 September 2026, for Reading with NARNiHS!
The NARNiHS Steering Group
Dear Colleagues,
The last chance to submit and present your work at the IMPACT-SPEECH Workshop. You can commit your reviews from the ARR May cycle
or extended abstracts until 31st August.
We welcome both archival and non-archival submissions. You can showcase an EMNLP-accepted paper or submit high-quality work that
could not make it.
Have a working paper? We also invite non-archival extended abstracts to receive early feedback from the community.
Submission Details @ https://impactspeech.github.io/#submission [https://impactspeech.github.io/#submission]
Looking forward to your submissions!
On behalf of the IMPACT-SPEECH Organizers
Dear Corpora List members,
Please note that the Non-archival submission deadline for INLG is almost there: August 22, 2026. See our website<https://2026.inlgmeeting.org/> for more information.
For this track, we welcome two kinds of submissions:
1. Papers published elsewhere. These may be published either in a journal or at another conference and should be relevant to the INLG audience.
2. Work in progress. These may be papers about completed work that has not yet been published or preliminary results that merit discussion at the conference. Submissions should consist of a title and a short abstract (max. 300 words).
Submissions for the non-archival track will undergo a light review process (assessing the relevance of the submission for INLG), and accepted works will be presented as posters.
Please note that papers that were rejected for the archival track are also welcome to be re-submitted to the non-archival track.
Best wishes,
Emiel van Miltenburg

Call for Main Conference Papers
NAACL 2027: The 2027 Annual Conference of the Nations of the Americas
Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics
June 1-5, 2027
San Francisco, California, USA
ARR submission deadline: October 12, 2026
NAACL commitment deadline: December 23, 2026
Full call: https://2027.naacl.org/calls/main_conference_papers/ [1]
NAACL 2027 invites long and short paper submissions featuring
substantial, original, and unpublished research in all aspects of
computational linguistics and natural language processing. Submissions
should make a clear and substantive contribution to NLP. Contributions
may be methodological, empirical, theoretical, linguistic,
resource-oriented, or focused on evaluation methods and reproducibility.
Surveys and position papers are welcome when they offer a substantial
original synthesis, perspective, insight, or argument.
Submission process
NAACL 2027 will use ACL Rolling Review (ARR). Authors first submit
papers to ARR, where the papers receive reviews and meta-reviews.
Authors may then commit reviewed papers to NAACL 2027, where the
conference makes the final acceptance decisions.
NAACL 2027 and COLING 2027 share the October 2026 ARR submission cycle.
Submissions remain conference-agnostic until meta-reviews are released.
At commitment, authors must designate either NAACL or COLING as the
primary conference. Each paper may be committed to only one primary
venue, and the designated primary conference cannot be changed after
commitment.
Authors may also indicate that they would like their paper to be
considered by the other conference if it is not accepted by their
primary conference. Such secondary consideration is not guaranteed.
Important dates
*
ARR submission deadline for long and short papers: October 12, 2026
*
Reviewer registration deadline for all authors: October 12, 2026
*
Meta-reviews released: December 18, 2026
*
NAACL commitment deadline: December 23, 2026
