From where could you get lists of word stems and their derivatives for languages? ...
by lbrtchx＠tutamail.com 28 Aug '25

28 Aug '25

they should be formatted as two files of text lines sharing an index a la: stem_index|stem then word|stem_index|POS_index if the word doesn't have a stem word say, conjunctions and pronouns it should be included as it is. Is there such a thing? or how could you suggest one could build it with available resources? lbrtchx

OpenReview Tutorial for Conference Setup - Does One Exist?
by Wajdi Zaghouani 28 Aug '25

28 Aug '25

Dear NLP Community, Does anyone know of a video tutorial or easy-to-follow guide for setting up and managing conferences on OpenReview? Many new organizers struggle with OpenReview since it's quite different from the previous systems. While OpenReview does have documentation, the current guides are not beginner-friendly and require significant time to understand. The learning curve is particularly steep for newcomers to conference organization. If no accessible tutorial exists, would the community be interested in creating one? A step-by-step video guide would really help new organizers navigate the platform more efficiently and reduce the time spent figuring things out. Please let me know if you have resources to share or would like to help create something. Thanks! Wajdi Zaghouani -- Wajdi Zaghouani, Ph.D. Associate Professor in Residence, Communication Program Northwestern Qatar | Education City T +974 4454 5232 | M +974 3345 4992 [signature_1546530820]

Call for participation: survey on impacts of pre-printing and reviewing
by Shane Storks 27 Aug '25

27 Aug '25

Dear all, (Apologies for cross-posting.) It has been over a year since the ACL updated its anonymity policies to allow publicly sharing pre-prints of submitted papers and promotion of them on social media. In light of this, we are conducting a survey on the impact of anonymity policies where we are interested to understand how preprinting and reviewers' prior knowledge affects review scores; and the impact of such policies on underrepresented communities. We would greatly appreciate if you took 10-12 minutes to share your opinion. Our survey is linked here <https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=d3Ulb4YRP066isnpi8DR9hb…> . Thank you, A Pranav & Shane Storks Queer in AI

Joint Call for Tutorial Proposals (EACL/ACL) 2026
by Aline Paes 27 Aug '25

27 Aug '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 <http://www.winlp.org/big-directory/>, Black in AI <https://blackinai.github.io/#/membership>, Disability in AI <https://elesa.github.io/ability_in_AI/>, Indigenous AI <https://www.indigenous-ai.net/>, LatinX in AI <https://lxai.app/PUBLIC-DIRECTORY>, Masakhane <https://www.masakhane.io/>, 500 Queer Scientists <https://500queerscientists.com/>, and Women-in-ML’s directory <https://www.wiml.org/directory>. Submission Details Proposals should use the ACL paper submission format. Authors can download <https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files> the LaTeX or Word template or use the Overleaf template <https://www.overleaf.com/read/crtcwgxzjskr>. 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. 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, UKå *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(a)googlegroups.com <eacl2026_tutorials(a)googlegroups.com>.
