*******We apologize for the multiple copies of this e-mail****** [Spanish version below / versión en español más abajo] * Last Call for Registration:* SEPLN 2025: 41st INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE SPANISH SOCIETY FOR NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING Zaragoza, Spain September 24-26, 2025 https://eventos.ita.es/sepln_2025/home/ The Spanish Society for Natural Language Processing (SEPLN) is pleased to invite you to participate in the 41st edition of the SEPLN Conference. The SEPLN Conference will take place on 24-26 September 2025 at Zaragoza (Spain), at the Technological Institute of Aragon (ITA). The huge amount of digital information available in different languages has created the need for systems to access this valuable resource in an increasingly structured way. Thus, there is a renewed interest in improving the ways in which we can access and leverage this information in multilingual environments. The formal and technological foundations to address these needs have and keep being proposed from the area of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and its many branches: information extraction and retrieval, language models, question answering, machine translation, automatic analysis of textual content, text summarization, text simplification, text generation, and speech recognition and synthesis. The main aim of the SEPLN 2025 Conference is to provide both to the scientific community and to the industry a forum where the latest research and developments in the field of NLP can be presented and shared. The SEPLN 2025 Conference also gives the possibility to present real NLP applications and R&D projects. Finally, the conference intends to be an appropriate forum for helping new professionals to become active members in this field. Structure of the Conference The SEPLN 2025 Conference will be a three-day event and will include sessions to present papers, ongoing research projects and prototype or product demos related to the topics of the conference. Likewise, the 23rd of September will take place the Workshop Day, where the main workshop will be IberLEF 2025 <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://sites.google.com/view/iberlef-2025__;!!…> . The Conference will have two high-level international keynotes by María Fernández Guajardo (Executive in AI & Emerging Tech – Google) y Marta R. Costa-jussà (Research Scientist – Meta AI). You can read more details at: https://eventos.ita.es/sepln_2025/invited-talks/ <https://eventos.ita.es/sepln_2025/invited-talks/> Moreover, during the Conference we will celebrate the 41st anniversary of the SEPLN, so we will have an exciting social programme to celebrate it.

Joint Call for Tutorial Proposals (EACL/ACL) 2026
by ACL Announcements 03 Sep '25

03 Sep '25

*Joint Call for Tutorial Proposals (EACL/ACL) 2026* The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) and the European Chapter of the ACL (EACL) invite proposals for tutorials in conjunction with the ACL 2026 and EACL 2026 conferences. We welcome submissions covering all areas of computational linguistics (CL) and natural language processing (NLP), broadly defined to include related disciplines. We are soliciting proposals for two types of tutorials: * *Cutting-edge tutorials in CL/NLP*: Covering recent advances in emerging areas not previously addressed in tutorials at EACL, NAACL-HLT, ACL, or EMNLP. * *Introductory tutorials in related fields*: Offering overviews of disciplines potentially relevant to the CL/NLP community, such as linguistics, bioinformatics, machine learning, human-computer interaction, or applications of large language models in non-English languages. In both cases, the primary goal is to help CL/NLP researchers understand key scientific challenges, their tractability, and their theoretical and practical implications. Presentations of specific technologies or systems are welcome when used to illustrate broader scientific insights. Tutorials will be held at one of the following conference venues: * *EACL 2026* (The 19th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics), which will be held as a hybrid conference, and physically held in Rabat, Morocco, from March 24-29, 2026. * *ACL 2026* (The 64th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics), which will be held as a hybrid conference and physically held in San Diego, California, from July 2-7, 2026. Other calls will be made in the fall for tutorials colocated with conferences later in the year (e.g., EMNLP and AACL). This call thus exclusively centers EACL and ACL 2026. *Important Dates* EACL/ACL 2026 shared dates: * Proposal submission deadline: *October 20, 2025* * Notification of acceptance: December 08, 2025 * Tutorial slides + abstract + bibliography + any other materials one month prior to the date of the tutorial /All deadlines are 11:59 PM UTC-12:00 ("anywhere on Earth")./ *Fee Waivers* Up to *3 instructors per tutorial* can have their registration fees waived for the main conference and any subset of co-located tutorials and workshops. *Diversity & Inclusion* To foster an inclusive culture in our field, we particularly encourage submissions from members of underrepresented groups in CL/NLP, i.e., researchers from any demographic or geographic minority, researchers with disabilities, among others. The overall diversity of the tutorial organizers and potential audience will be taken into account to ensure that the conference program is varied and balanced. Tutorial proposals should describe and will be evaluated according to how the tutorial contributes to *topics promoting diversity* (e.g., working on minority languages or groups), *participation diversity* (e.g., coordinating with social affinity groups, providing subsidies, making a promotional plan for the tutorial), and *representation diversity* among tutorial presenters. For more information or advice, organizers may consult resources such as the BIG directory [1], Black in AI [2], Disability in AI [3], Indigenous AI [4], LatinX in AI [5], Masakhane [6], 500 Queer Scientists [7], and Women-in-ML's directory [8]. *Submission Details* 1Proposals should use the ACL paper submission format. Authors can download [9] the LaTeX or Word template or use the Overleaf template [10]. Proposals *should not exceed 4 pages of content* (plus one page for tutor biographies and unlimited pages for references), should be submitted as PDF documents, and should contain the following: 1) A title and authors, affiliations, and contact information. 2) A brief description of the tutorial content and its relevance to the CL/NLP community. 3) Type of the tutorial: "cutting-edge in CL/NLP" vs "introductory to fields related to CL/NLP". 4) Briefly describe the target audience and any expected prerequisites for the attendees, for example: * Math: e.g., "Understand derivatives and integrals as found in introductory calculus" * Linguistics: e.g., "Be able to parse and generate text with dependency grammars" * Machine Learning: e.g., "Understand 'classical' supervised methods such as SVM and perceptron" * Neural Network: e.g., "Familiarity with transformers" * Programming or other tools: e.g., "Knowledge of PyTorch and Unix command line tools" 5) An outline of the tutorial structure and content, and how it will be covered in a three-hour slot. In exceptional cases, six-hour tutorial slots are available. These time limits do not include coffee breaks, e.g., a three-hour tutorial in fact occupies a 3.5-hour slot, and a six-hour tutorial occupies a 7-hour slot. 6) Explain how the tutorial includes other people's work. We recommend that the tutorial cover work by the presenters as well as by other researchers. The submission should explain how this breadth is ensured. Tutorials should not be "self-invited talks". 7) Diversity considerations, e.g., use of multilingual data, indications of how the described methods scale up to various languages or domains, participation of both senior and junior instructors, demographic and geographical diversity of the instructors, plans for how to diversify audience participation, etc. 8) Reading list. Work that you expect the audience to read before the tutorial can be indicated by an asterisk. Recommended papers should provide breadth of authorship and include work by other authors, as well as work from other disciplines is welcomed if relevant. 9) For each tutorial presenter, a one-paragraph statement of their research interests and areas of expertise for the tutorial topic, as well as experience in instructing an international audience. 10) An estimate of the audience size for the tutorial. If the same or a similar tutorial (or workshops, talks, etc.) has been given before, include information on where any previous version of the tutorial was given and how many attendees the tutorial attracted. 11) A description of special requirements for technical equipment. 12) We intend to make tutorial presentation materials publicly available (e.g., tutorial slides, captioned video recording, as well as software, data, or other resources as applicable) in the ACL Anthology. If any of your tutorial materials cannot be shared, please explain why this is the case. 13) An ethics statement that discusses the ethical considerations related to the topics of the tutorial. 14) A description of any limitations that would restrict the tutorial to a specific venue (EACL or ACL). For example: if the tutorial is compatible with only one of these events, logistically, thematically or otherwise, or if the tutorial cannot be held at a venue for logistical reasons. 15) OPTIONAL: We welcome proposals on the special conference themes. If your tutorial proposal aligns with the special themes of EACL (theme TBA) or ACL (theme TBA), then please explain why this is the case. 16) OPTIONAL: We invite tutorial instructors to include pedagogical material that the audience can bring into classrooms or similar spaces of discussion, to bring attention to the tutorial topic (e.g., a hands-on exercise, discussion questions, a demo, or an assignment). If you would like to provide this, then please explain why this is the case. Tutorial proposals should be submitted online using the softconf system at the following link: https://softconf.com/p/acl-tutorials2026 [1] [11]. Proposals will be reviewed jointly by the Tutorial Co-Chairs of the conferences and, optionally, by a group of external experts. *Evaluation Criteria* Each tutorial proposal will be evaluated according to its clarity and preparedness, novelty or timely character of the topic, instructors' experience, target audience, open access of the tutorial instructional material, and diversity and inclusion. *Instructor Responsibilities* Tutorial decisions along with reviews will be released by *Dec 08, 2025*. Accepted tutorial proposers must then provide abstracts for inclusion in the conference registration material by the specific conference deadlines. The description should be in two formats: (a) an ASCII version that can be included in email announcements and published on the conference website, and (b) a PDF version for inclusion in the electronic proceedings (detailed instructions will be provided). Tutorial speakers must provide *tutorial materials (e.g., slides, a relevant list of papers) at least one month prior to the start date of the hosting conference*. The final submitted tutorial materials must minimally include copies of the course slides and a bibliography for the material covered in the tutorial. After the conference, the presenters will be invited to update their slides in the ACL Anthology (if needed). *Tutorial Chairs* * EACL * Aline Paes, Fluminense Federal University, Brazil * Rodrigo Wilkens, University of Exeter, UK * Chenghua Lin, The University of Manchester, UK * ACL * Kenton Murray, Johns Hopkins University, USA * Jacob Andreas, MIT, USA If you have any questions related to tutorial proposals, you can reach us at eaclacl2026_tutorials [at] googlegroups.com [2].

[CFP] EACL 2026 First Call for Main Conference Papers
by ACL Announcements 03 Sep '25

03 Sep '25

First Call for Main Conference Papers EACL 2026: 19th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics March 24-29, 2026, Rabat, Morocco ARR submission deadline: Oct 6, 2025 EACL commitment deadline: Dec 14, 2025 Details: https://2026.eacl.org/calls/papers/ [1] *Overview* The 19th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL 2026) invites the submission of long and short papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research on Natural Language Processing. EACL 2026 will take place in Rabat, Morocco, from March 24 to 29, 2026. *Submission information* Paper submission and commitment will be handled via the ACL Rolling Review (ARR) system (https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp [2]). ARR works on a two-monthly review cycle. The "paper submission deadline" is the latest date that new papers can be submitted to ARR and be reviewed in time to be considered by EACL 2026. Papers submitted in previous ARR rounds can also be considered. The "paper commitment deadline" is the date by which authors must choose, based on the reviews so far, whether to "commit" their ARR papers to be considered by EACL 2026. The authors should contact ARR with any questions about the review process at editors(a)aclrollingreview.org. As in recent years, some of the presentations at the conference will be for papers accepted by the Transactions of the ACL (TACL) and Computational Linguistics (CL) journals. *Important Dates* * ARR submission deadline: 6 October 2025 * Author response & reviewer discussion: 18 - 24 November 2025 * Meta-reviews released: 11 December 2025 * EACL commitment deadline: 14 December 2025 All deadlines are 11:59 PM UTC-12:00 ("anywhere on Earth"). *Topics of Interest* EACL 2026 has the goal of a broad technical program. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to, the following areas (in alphabetical order): * Computational Social Science and Cultural Analytics * Dialogue and Interactive Systems * Discourse and Pragmatics * Efficient/Low-resource methods in NLP * Ethics and NLP * Generation * Information Retrieval and Text Mining * Information Extraction * Interpretability and Model Analysis in NLP * Language Grounding to Vision, Robotics and Beyond * Linguistic Theories, Cognitive Modeling and Psycholinguistics * Machine Learning for NLP * Machine Translation * Multilinguality and Language Diversity * NLP Applications * Phonology, Morphology, and Word Segmentation * Question Answering * Resources and Evaluation * Semantics: Lexical * Semantics: Sentence-level Semantics, Textual Inference and other areas * Sentiment Analysis, Stylistic Analysis and Argument Mining * Speech and Multimodality * Summarization * Syntax: Tagging, Chunking and Parsing *Long Papers* Long paper submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis should be included. Long papers may consist of up to 8 pages of content, plus unlimited pages for references and appendices. Upon acceptance, long papers will be given one additional page of content (i.e. up to 9 pages) in the proceedings so that reviewers' comments can be taken into account. *Short Papers* Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished work. Please note that a short paper is not a shortened long paper. Instead, short papers should have a point that can be made in a few pages. Short papers may consist of up to 4 pages of content, plus unlimited references and appendices. Upon acceptance, short papers will be given one additional page of content (i.e. up to 5 pages) in the proceedings so that reviewers' comments can be taken into account. *Findings of the ACL* Papers submitted to EACL 2026, but not selected for the main conference, will also automatically be considered for publication in the Findings of the Association of Computational Linguistics. Acceptance notifications for the main track and Findings will come out simultaneously. *Presentation Mode* Long and short papers will be presented orally or as posters, as determined by the programme committee based on the nature rather than the quality of the work. While short papers will be distinguished from long papers in the proceedings, there will be no distinction in the proceedings between papers presented orally and as posters. Papers accepted to the Findings of the ACL may present a poster. *Presentation Requirements* All accepted papers must be presented at the conference--either online or in-person--in order to appear in the proceedings. Authors of papers accepted for presentation at EACL 2026 must notify the program chairs by the withdrawal deadline if they wish to withdraw the paper. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for EACL 2026 by the early registration deadline. *Paper Submission and Anonymity* Following standard ACL and ARR policy, submitted papers must be prepared for two-way anonymized review, and no deanonymized preprint may be posted in the month prior to submission. Please see the ARR CfP for more detail (https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp [2]). *Policies on Authorship, Citation and Ethics* EACL 2026 follows the ARR policies on authorship, citation and comparison and ethics - please see the ARR CfP (https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp [2]). *Multiple Submission Policy* EACL 2026 follows the ARR policy on multiple submission: we will not consider any paper that is under review in a journal or another conference at the time of submission, and submitted papers must not be submitted elsewhere during the review period. See the ARR CfP for more detail (https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp [2]). *Mandatory Discussion of Limitations* We believe that it is also important to discuss the limitations of your work, in addition to its strengths. Following recent EACL conferences, EACL 2026 requires all papers to have a clear discussion of limitations, in a dedicated section titled "Limitations". This section will appear at the end of the paper, after the discussion/conclusions section and before the references, and will not count towards the page limit. Papers without a limitations section will be automatically rejected without review. Papers resubmitted from previous ARR review rounds that did not include a limitations section must ensure that such a section is included in the EACL 2026 version. While we are open to different types of limitations, just mentioning that a set of results have been shown for English only probably does not reflect what we expect. Mentioning that the method works mostly for languages with limited morphology, like English, is a much better alternative. In addition, limitations such as low scalability to long text, the requirement of large GPU resources, or other things that inspire further investigation are welcome. *Contact Information* General Chair: * Aline Villavicencio, University of Exeter Program Chairs: * Vera Demberg, Saarland University * Kentaro Inui, MBZUAI, Tohoku University, RIKEN * Lluís Marquez Villodre, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Links: ------ [1] https://2026.eacl.org/calls/papers/ [2] https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp

Final call for EACL and ACL 2026 workshops
by z＠zeerak.org 02 Sep '25

02 Sep '25

[Apologies for cross-posting] Please not that the deadline for submitting workshops proposals for ACL and EACL 2026 is this coming Friday (the 5th of September)! Submission link: https://softconf.com/p/acl-workshops2026/ Joint Call for Workshops Proposals (EACL/ACL) 2026 The Association for Computational Linguistics, the European Language Resource Association and International Committee on Computational Linguistics invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with EACL 2026 or ACL 2026. We solicit proposals in all areas of computational linguistics, broadly conceived to include related disciplines such as linguistics, speech, information retrieval, and multimodal processing. Workshops will be held at one of the following conference venues: * EACL 2026 (The 19th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics) which will be held as a hybrid conference, and physically held in Rabat, Morocco, from March 24-29, 2026 * ACL 2026 (The 64th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics), which will be held as a hybrid conference, and physically held in San Diego, California, from July 2-7, 2026 The workshop and tutorial co-chairs will work together to assign workshops to the conferences. They will take into account location preferences and technical constraints provided by the workshop proposers. A second call will be made in the fall for workshops colocated with conferences later in the year (e.g., EMNLP and AACL). This call thus exclusively centres EACL and ACL 2026. Important Dates EACL/ACL 2026 shared dates: * Proposal submission deadline: September 5, 2025 * Notification of acceptance: September 22, 2025 All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 (“anywhere on Earth”). Submission Information Proposals should be submitted as PDF documents. Note that submissions should be ready to be turned into a Call for Papers to the workshop within one week of notification. The proposals should be at most two pages for the main proposal and at most two additional pages for information about the organizers, program committee, and references. Thus, the whole proposal should not be more than four pages long. Please use the LaTeX template for your submission. The two pages for the main proposal must include: * A title, short name / acronym, and a brief description of the workshop topic and content. * Some conferences might take place only or partially virtually. We request submissions to contain a brief discussion on measures planned to make sure a workshop is successful and productive in case of a hybrid or virtual-only attendance. * A description of special requirements and technical needs. * A description of any limitations that would restrict the workshop to a specific venue (EACL or ACL). For example: if the workshop is compatible with only one of these events, logistically, thematically or otherwise, or if the workshop cannot be held at a venue for logistical reasons. * Diversity and Inclusion Efforts (see more details below) * If the workshop has been held before, a note specifying: how many prior editions occurred, where previous workshops were held, how many submissions the workshop received in the last iteration and how many papers were accepted (also specify if they were not regular papers, e.g., shared task system description papers), and an estimate of how many in-person posters the workshop attracted. * (Optional/If Known) A list of invited speakers, with an indication of which ones have already agreed and which are tentative, and sources of funding for the speakers. * (Optional) A description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop, and estimate of the number of participants. Having a shared task is optional. The submission form will request information that does not factor into the decision process, but are necessary for logistical reasons: * An estimate of the maximum number of attendees at one given time * Number of estimated in-person posters * Preferred Venue (first and second preference). Providing a second preferred venue is optional, and we assume that providing a second preference indicates its compatibility for the workshop. While we will do our best to adhere to these preferences, we cannot guarantee that they will be satisfied. * Duration of the workshop (1-day / 2-day workshop) Note that the only financial support available to workshops is a single free workshop registration for an invited speaker. The workshop organizers must bear all other costs independently, including registration for more than one invited speaker. The two pages for information about organizers, program committee, and references must include: * The names, affiliations, and email addresses of the organizers, with a brief statement (2-5 sentences) of their research interests, areas of expertise, and experience in organizing workshops and related events. * A list of Program Committee members, with an indication of which members have already agreed. Organizers should do their best to estimate the number of submissions (especially for recurring workshops) in order to (a) ensure a sufficient number of reviewers so that each paper receives 3 reviews, and (b) anticipate that no one is committed to reviewing more than 3 papers. This practice is likely to ensure on-time and thoughtful reviews. * An indication whether the workshop will consider papers submitted through ACL Rolling Review (ARR); use OpenReview as a platform (both to take papers from ARR and for their own review); or whether the workshop will only use START as a platform, and will not use ARR. In making this choice, please pay careful attention to the ARR deadlines and conference notifications. * References Submission is electronic at the following link: https://softconf.com/p/acl-workshops2026/ Diversity and Inclusion The proposals should describe the ways in which the workshop will support diversity in NLP. We suggest organizers consider the following points, while developing the proposal: * Contribution to academic diversity: The proposals could explain how the subject matter of the workshop will contribute to the diversity of the field, e.g. use of multilingual data, indications of how the described methods scale up to various languages or domains, accessibility of resources, supporting underrepresented communities of NLP and so on. * Diversifying representation: Following the WiNLP initiative, we recognize the current problems of demographic imbalance in the field. Therefore, we particularly encourage submissions including members of under-represented groups in computational linguistics. The proposals should describe how their selection of invited speakers, panelists, organizers, and program committee promotes diverse representation (for example, considering underrepresented demographics based on gender, ethnicity, nationality, and so on). We also suggest including speakers and panelists, who have not appeared as a keynote speaker or panelist in recent conferences. * Diversifying participation: The proposals could describe how the call-for-papers and outreach will encourage people from marginalized groups to attend and submit to the workshop. Some examples include providing mentoring, subsidies, coordinating with affinity groups, diversifying the selection of papers and so on. Organizer Responsibilities The organizers of the accepted proposals will be responsible for publicizing and running the workshop, including reviewing submissions, producing the camera-ready workshop proceedings, organizing the meeting days, and playing their part to ensure that all participants are aware of ACL’s anti-harassment policy. It is crucial that organizers commit to all deadlines. In particular, failure to produce the camera-ready proceedings on time will lead to the exclusion of the workshop from the unified proceedings and author indexes. Workshop organizers cannot accept submissions for publication that will be (or have been) published elsewhere, although they are free to set their own policies on simultaneous submission and review. However, it is worth noting that workshops may also accept non-archival submissions, such as findings papers, for presentation, which are allowed in this case. Since the conferences will occur at different times, the timelines for the submission and reviewing of workshop papers, and the preparation of camera-ready copies, will be different for each conference. Suggested timelines for each of the conferences are given below. The workshop organizers are free to deviate from the proposed schedule for all dates that are not marked as inflexible, though changes should be made in consultation with the relevant workshop chairs. In submitting a proposal, workshop chairs will be asked to agree to the workshop non-compliance policy<https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1hhocb0fXBBJhqJHoOfZtx1V1kcTATpA4IMU…>. All workshops must agree to this policy, which states that egregious cases of not living up to the responsibilities of running a workshop will be penalized by a 1-year ban on the organizers from submitting another workshop proposal. Workshop proposals for which all authors do not agree to this policy will be desk-rejected. The ACL has a set of policies on workshops. You can find the ACL’s general policies on workshops, the financial policy for workshops, and the financial policy for SIG workshops in the Conference Handbook<http://aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=Conference_Handbook>. Review Process Workshop proposals will be holistically reviewed by a committee of workshop chairs and the ACL workshop officers based on: their originality and impact, the experience of the Organizing and Program Committees, and the ethical considerations presented and adherence of the workshop proposal to ACL’s code of ethics. This committee will also allocate workshops to the conferences included in the call, taking into account location preferences and technical constraints given in the workshop proposal. However, the aim of the review process is to accept as many high-quality workshops as possible. Given space limitations at conference venues and the increasing number of workshop proposals, the review committee can not guarantee that a proposal will be co-located with their preferred venue in lieu of extenuating circumstances. The review process will have three possible outcomes: accept, in which case the workshop will be co-located with either EACL or ACL; revise and resubmit, where the organizing committee is encouraged to incorporate reviewer feedback and resubmit to the next call for workshops for AACL and EMNLP; or reject, in which the workshop proposal should not be submitted the next call, and will be desk rejected if submitted. Tentative Workshop Timelines EACL * First call for workshop papers: October 15, 2025 * Second call for workshop papers: November 12, 2025 * Third call for papers: December 5, 2025 * Direct Submission deadline: December 19, 2025 * Pre-reviewed (ARR) submission deadline: January 2, 2026 * Notification of acceptance: January 23, 2026 * Camera-ready paper due: February 3, 2026 * Proceedings due (hard deadline): February 24, 2026 * Pre-recorded video due (hard deadline): February 27, 2026 * Workshop dates: March 24-29, 2026 ACL * First call for workshop papers: December 10, 2025 * Second call for workshop papers: January 15, 2026 * Third call for workshop papers: February 20, 2026 * Direct paper submission deadline: March 5, 2026 * Pre-reviewed ARR commitment deadline: March 24, 2026 * Notification of acceptance: April 28, 2026 * Camera-ready paper due: May 12, 2026 * Proceedings due (hard deadline): June 1, 2026 * Pre-recorded video due (hard deadline): June 4, 2026 * Workshop dates: July 2-3, 2026 Workshop Chairs EACL * Adriana Pagano * Emmanuele Chersoni * Julia Ive ACL * Loic Barrault, Meta FAIR * Yang Zhao, Chinese Academy of Sciences

English-Corpora.org: new AI/LLM features for corpus analysis
by Mark Davies 02 Sep '25

02 Sep '25

At English-Corpora.org, we’ve added new AI/LLM-based tools directly into the corpus interface, while still keeping the corpus data at the center of analysis. An overview of the features is available at *https://www.english-corpora.org/ai-llms/ <https://www.english-corpora.org/ai-llms/>*. Using nine different LLMs (like GPT, Gemini, and Claude), users can now do things such as: -- semantically cluster and categorize collocates and phrases, such as the collocates of *identity *or the highly polysemous *bow*, or results for the phrase *soft *NOUN -- compare words via collocates, such as *quandary*/*predicament*, *provoke* /*incite*, or *completely*/*entirely* -- analyze differences in frequency or collocates across corpus sections, such as genres, historical periods, or dialects -- analyze KWIC lines, including semantic prosody, collocates, grammatical patterns, text types, and pragmatic functions -- generate words and phrases by topic, translation, or rephrasing -- and then see their frequency in different sections of the corpus Users can also: -- switch easily between LLMs to compare analyses across nine different models *-- view results in 30 different languages*-- select one of 14 "user profiles" (e.g. linguist, translator, teacher, or learner), for customized results -- save, retrieve, and annotate AI results (categorizations, analyses, and generated words/phrases) The goal is not to replace careful corpus analysis, but to complement it. The LLMs can suggest patterns, categories, and comparisons -- but the underlying corpus data is always visible, so users can verify, adapt, or challenge the AI output. We hope these tools will be useful for learners, teachers, researchers, translators, and anyone interested in richer ways of exploring corpus data. ============================================ Mark Davies english-corpora.org mark-davies.org ============================================

Societally-motivated IR research, including on algorithmic bias and fairness, misinformation, hate speech, interpretability and explainability, privacy-aware IR, trustworthy IR, and ethics; Please note: This year, we are revamping the dedicated IR-for-Good track to be a core conference track that will run alongside the main conference (not on workshop day). We want this special track to be a platform that highlights top societally-motivated IR research at ECIR. We strongly encourage authors to submit societally-motivated papers to this special track. The call for papers for that track will be released in August. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Paper Track The Full Paper Track provides the opportunity for researchers to present their state-of-the-art research in Information Retrieval, which makes, or has the potential to make, a significant contribution to the field. Full papers are up to 12 pages in length plus unlimited additional pages for references. Appendices count toward the page limit. Please put appendices before the references for paper submission. Papers over the page limit will be desk rejected. Full papers will be refereed through double-blind peer review, with an initial first-stage review followed by a second stage of discussion led by a meta-reviewer. Some high-quality submissions not accepted as main papers may be invited to be published as findings papers. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Guidelines Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word (to be found at https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…), for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers (https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/orcid). All submissions must be written in English. All papers should be submitted electronically through the EasyChair submission system. The EasyChair URL will be announced later. In addition, the corresponding author of each accepted paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the paper has been submitted, changes relating to its authorship cannot be made. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The proceedings will be distributed to all delegates at the conference. Accepted papers will have to be presented at the conference by one of the authors in person – and at least one author for each accepted contribution will be required to register and attend. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dual Submission Policy Papers submitted to ECIR 2026 should be substantially different from papers that have been previously published, or accepted for publication, or that are under review at other venues. Exceptions to this rule are: Submission is permitted for papers presented or to be presented at conferences or workshops without proceedings. Submission is permitted for papers that have previously been made available as a technical report (e.g., in institutional archives or preprint archives like arXiv). Please do not cite your technical report and make effort to avoid any issues that may harm the double-blindness of your submission. Reviewers will receive guidance that asks them to refrain from trying to break blindness, but be aware that the availability of an available technical report for an ECIR submission might cause some issues. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethics and Professional Conduct ECIR 2026 expects authors (as well as the PC, and the organising committee) to adhere to accepted standards on ethics and professionalism in our community, namely: 1. The ACM’s Policy on Authorship, 2. The ACM’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, 3. The ACM’s Conflict of Interest Policy, 4.

This conference will be hosted by Lancaster University, UK from Tuesday 23rd June to Thursday 25th June 2026. The Corpora and Discourse International Conference showcases research that combines corpus linguistics and discourse analysis in all forms and under all names. Our key objective is to bring together researchers who are interested in how discourse(s) are structured, patterned, and received, and who use corpus linguistics as part of this work. Keynote speakers: We are delighted to announce our confirmed keynote speakers: * Matteo Fuoli<https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/elal/fuoli-matteo> (University of Birmingham, UK) * Brian King<https://english.hku.hk/people/Faculty/61/Dr_Brian_King> (University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong) * Michaela Mahlberg<https://www.dhss.phil.fau.de/person/prof-dr-michaela-mahlberg/> (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany) * Elena Semino<https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/linguistics/about/people/elena-semino> (Lancaster University, UK) The call for papers opens on 2 September 2025 and closes on 16 November 2025. We welcome abstracts for both oral presentations and poster presentations reporting on work at the intersections of corpus linguistics and discourse analysis, broadly conceived. Contributions might address, but certainly do not need to be limited to, the following areas: * academic, scientific, technological and medical discourse(s); * comparative studies; * discourse(s) and identities; * discourse(s) in language acquisition, language learning and teaching; * discursive and/or language change over time (including historical analyses); * discourse(s) and social issues (e.g., health, the environment, gender and sexuality, technology, politics and polycrises); * figurative language in discourse (e.g. metaphor, metonymy, irony); * institutional discourse(s); * intercultural discourses; * language ideology and policy; * media, social media, new media and hybrid text types; * methodological innovations in corpus and discourse analysis approaches; * multimodality and corpora; * reflective contributions on the assumptions, practices, ethical dilemmas and implications of corpus and discourse analysis research; * corpus stylistics and literary discourse; * translation studies and discourse(s). Submission information: As this is an in-person only conference, all presenting participants must attend the conference in person. Oral presentations should present research that is either completed or that is ongoing with some substantial results. Research that is a work in progress and that is yet to yield substantial results is welcome in the form of a poster presentation. Oral presentations will consist of a 20-minute talk followed by 5 minutes for questions and discussion. For oral/poster presentations, please submit an unstructured abstract of up to 4000 characters (including references). Abstracts should be submitted in the form on this page: https://wp.lancs.ac.uk/cad-2026/call-for-papers/ (the form is also accessible directly here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/qkm2sqPKA1) Please format your in-text references and bibliography in Chicago Citation Style.
