Conference theme: “Pervasive digital services for people’s well-being,
inclusion and sustainable development”
OVERVIEW
Next-gen digital services contribute to people’s well-being, inclusion, and sustainable
development, re-shaping e-business, e-services, and e-society. Such services are pervasive
both since they run on a large variety of heterogeneous devices and they permeate various
aspects of daily life, by offering accessible and personalised experiences to all individuals. The
proposed theme advocates for the design, implementation and operations of novel digital
solutions that satisfy the needs of different individuals, while contributing to their well-being
and to preserving the Planet.
I3E 2025 will collect contributions about the creation and management of user-centric
accessible platforms, applications, and services that empower individuals to live healthier and
more fulfilling lives. The proposed theme aims at emphasizing how it is possible to leverage
different technologies to address pressing societal challenges such as, for instance, healthcare
access, education, poverty alleviation, sustainable usage of resources, and social equity,
towards a more inclusive and sustainable future.

Computational Semantics.
The aim of the IWCS conference is to bring together researchers
interested in any aspects of the computation, annotation, extraction,
representation and learning of meaning in natural language, whether
this is from a lexical or structural semantic perspective. IWCS
embraces both symbolic and machine learning approaches to
computational semantics, and everything in between. The conference and
workshops will take place 22-24 September 2025.
The invited speakers of IWCS 2025 are:
Oana-Maria Camburu (University College London)
Alexander Koller (Saarland University)
Denis Paperno (Utrecht University)
We invite paper submissions in all areas of computational semantics,
in other words all computational aspects of meaning of natural
language within written, spoken, signed, or multi-modal communication.
Submissions are invited on these closely related areas:
design of meaning representations
syntax-semantics interface
representing and resolving semantic ambiguity
shallow and deep semantic processing and reasoning
hybrid symbolic and statistical approaches to semantics
distributional semantics
alternative approaches to compositional semantics
inference methods for computational semantics
recognising textual entailment
learning by reading
methodologies and practices for semantic annotation
machine learning of semantic structures
probabilistic computational semantics
neural semantic parsing
computing meaning with large language models
computational aspects of lexical semantics
semantics and ontologies
semantic web and natural language processing
semantic aspects of language generation
generating from meaning representations
semantic relations in discourse and dialogue
semantics and pragmatics of dialogue acts
multimodal and grounded approaches to computing meaning
semantics-pragmatics interface
applications of computational semantics

present the paper in person. Papers will be accepted either for oral
presentation or for a poster presentation.
Submissions should be fully anonymous to ensure double-blind
reviewing.

Dear colleague,
We are happy to announce the next webinar in the Language Technology
webinar series organized by the HiTZ Chair of AI< (https://hitz.eus).
This is the final webinar for this academic year. We will return with
another series of webinars next fall, so be sure to stay tuned!
Next webinar:
Speaker: Mirella Lapata (The University of Edinburgh)
Title: Prompting is *not* all you need! Or why Multi-LLM Collaboration
Matters
Date: Thursday, June 5, 2025 - 15:00 CET
Summary: Recent years have witnessed the rise of increasingly larger and
more sophisticated language models (LMs) capable of performing every
task imaginable, sometimes at (super)human level. In this talk, I will
argue that in many realistic scenarios solely relying on a single
general-purpose LLM is suboptimal. A single LLM is likely to
under-represent real-world data distributions, heterogeneous skills, and
task-specific requirements. Instead, I will discuss Multi-LLM
collaboration as an alternative for compositional generative modeling.
This approach leads to more effective problem-solving while being more
inclusive and explainable. I will focus on narrative story generation
tasks and demonstrate how these can be tackled by orchestrating a
society of agents --- each pursuing individual goals while collectively
working toward the overall task objective. Additionally, I will explore
how these agent societies leverage reasoning to improve performance.
Bio: Mirella Lapata is professor of natural language processing in the
School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. Her research
focuses on getting computers to understand, reason with, and generate
natural language. She is the first recipient (2009) of the British
Computer Society and Information Retrieval Specialist Group (BCS/IRSG)
Karen Sparck Jones award and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh,
the ACL, and Academia Europaea. Mirella has also received best paper
awards in leading NLP conferences and has served on the editorial boards
of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, the Transactions of
the ACL, and Computational Linguistics. She was president of SIGDAT (the
group that organizes EMNLP) in 2018. She has been awarded an ERC
consolidator grant, a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award, and a
UKRI Turing AI World-Leading Researcher Fellowship.

By participating in the FDIA Symposium, you will gain experience presenting your research, receive constructive feedback, connect with fellow researchers, deepen your understanding of Information Retrieval concepts, and engage with thought-provoking presentations from experienced scholars.
The symposium focuses on "Future Directions" by welcoming submissions that explore early-stage research, including pilot studies and initial findings, conceptual frameworks, current challenges, and doctoral work in progress. We use the term "Information Access" to encompass the broader spectrum of information retrieval, storage, and management, including interaction and usage aspects, reflecting the evolving nature of information systems in practice.
We welcome submissions that present new research directions and emerging work in Information Access and Retrieval. Papers that stimulate discussion and offer fresh perspectives are particularly encouraged. The symposium provides a supportive environment for researchers to share preliminary findings, theoretical models, and innovative approaches that contribute to advancing the field.
Areas of research include, but are not limited to:
· Information Retrieval Theory
· Human-Computer Interaction and Information Retrieval, User Modelling, Interactive IR
· Collaborative Information Seeking and Searching
· IR for Good
· IR Evaluation
· Learning to Rank
· Retrieval-augmented Generation
