*** First Call for Workshop & Tutorial Proposals
The 31st Annual ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI 2026)
March 23-26, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus
https://iui.hosting.acm.org/2026/
We are pleased to invite proposals for workshops and tutorials to be held in conjunction with
the 31st International ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI 2026), Paphos,
Cyprus.
Workshops aim to provide a venue for presenting research on emerging or specialized topics
of interest and to offer an informal forum for discussing research questions and challenges.
Potential workshop topics should be related to the general theme of the conference
(“Where HCI meets AI”).
Tutorials aim to provide fundamental knowledge and experience on topics related to intelligent
user interfaces and the intersection between Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial
Intelligence (AI).
We welcome proposals for a wide range of *full-day* or *half-day* workshops and tutorial
formats and activities, including but not limited to:
• Mini Conferences: Workshops that focus on a specific topic and may have their own paper
submission and review processes.
• Interactive Formats: Workshops that encourage active participation and hands-on
experiences through break-out sessions or group work to explore specific topics. They may
have their own paper submission and review process or target a report summarizing the
discussions and outcomes.
• Emerging Work Sessions: Workshops that foster discussion around emerging ideas.
Organizers may raise specific topics and invite position papers, late-breaking results, or
extended abstracts.
• Project-Centric Formats: Workshops tied closely to a specific existing large-scale funded
project(e.g., NSF, EU) with the goal to engage a broader community.
• Interactive Competitions: Formats that invite individuals and teams to participate in
challenges or hackathons on selected topics relevant to IUI.
• Tutorials: Sessions that provide a structured instruction on topics aligned with the conference
theme, such as HCI methods, AI techniques, methodological frameworks, or tools for building
intelligent user interfaces.
Review and Oversight by Workshop and Tutorial Chairs
Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the Workshop and Tutorial Chairs. It is possible
that workshops may be cancelled, shortened, merged, or restructured if there are insufficient
submissions.
Workshop and Tutorial summaries will be included in the ACM Digital Library for ACM IUI 2026.
We will also publish joint workshop proceedings for accepted workshop submissions (through
CEUR or a similar venue).
Responsibilities of Workshop and Tutorial Organizers
• Coordinate the Call for Papers, including solicitation, submission handling, and peer review
process.
• Create and maintain a dedicated website with Workshop or Tutorial information. The IUI
Website 2026 will link to this page.
• Prepare and communicate Call for Participation, targeting both IUI and broader relevant
communities (e.g., via mailing lists, social media, newsgroups, or offline events)
• Facilitate the planned activities, including paper presentations, discussions, and/or
interactive elements.
• Submit a workshop or tutorial summary for inclusion in the ACM Digital Library.
• Collect camera-ready papers and author agreements from workshop participants for the joint
workshop proceedings (CEUR or similar).
Note that for the joint proceedings (CEUR or similar), submissions should be peer-reviewed
and will need to meet publishers’ guidelines. CEUR, for example, requires a 5-page minimum
per contribution. Note that not all workshop and tutorial formats listed above may meet these
requirements, and we may not be able to include them.

New distance-learning route: Applications for MSc AI for Translation and Interpreting Studies now open (academic year 2025-26 entry)
The Centre for Translation Studies (CTS) at the University of Surrey is pleased to announce the launching of AI in Translation and Interpreting Studies MSc. This MSc programme has an in-person route, but most crucially, a new distance-learning route, for both full-time and part-time modes of study. Classes are delivered synchronously (for all routes and modes of study).
This unique and innovative course draws on the research and pedagogy CTS is well known for, namely the responsible integration of professional practice with AI tools in multilingual mediation, translation and interpreting technologies, translation as intercultural mediation, corpus-based translation, audiovisual translation and automatic translation. As such, the course is ideally suited for students who wish to work at the at the interface of (traditional) Languages degrees, Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning and Machine Translation. This year we encourage applications from students interested in how Natural Language Processing and Large Language Models benefit translators and interpreters.
The new configuration offers a balance of hands-on training and critical skills when using language technologies across the academic year. As an MSc student, you will take three compulsory taught modules in semester 1 and select three optional modules in semester 2 (90 credits). You will then complete your degree with a long dissertation (90 credits), allowing you to tackle a project in greater depth. For full programme details, a special fee offer for the online/distance-learning route and the overall structure, please visit AI for Translation and Interpreting Studies MSc masters course | University of Surrey<https://www.surrey.ac.uk/postgraduate/ai-translation-and-interpreting-studi…>
Our MSc course comes in the wake of further diversification of our postgraduate programmes. It constitutes a change informed by constant dialogue with our students which resulted in a revamp of our portfolio. See our staff-student partnership project "Translation in the Era of General Artificial Intelligence"<https://www.surrey.ac.uk/news/human-and-machine-harmony-centre-translation-…> This change further aligns with recent developments in translation and translation technology projects which are done with the help of AI or AI-powered tools.
If you feel that an MSc is not for you, you can check our other postgraduate courses on topics related to translation and interpreting at: https://www.surrey.ac.uk/centre-translation-studies/study/postgraduate-cour…

Dear Corpora list organizers,
Please find below our submission for circulation:
======
The First Workshop on Optimal Reliance and Accountability in Interactions
with Generative Language Models (*ORIGen*) will be held in conjunction with
the Second Conference on Language Modeling (COLM) at the Palais des Congrès
in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on October 10, 2025!
With the rapid integration of generative AI, exemplified by large language
models (LLMs), into personal, educational, business, and even governmental
workflows, such systems are increasingly being treated as “collaborators”
with humans. In such scenarios, underreliance or avoidance of AI assistance
may obviate the potential speed, efficiency, or scalability advantages of a
human-LLM team, but simultaneously, there is a risk that subject matter
non-experts may overrely on LLMs and trust their outputs uncritically, with
consequences ranging from the inconvenient to the catastrophic. Therefore,
establishing optimal levels of reliance within an interactive framework is
a
critical open challenge as language models and related AI technology
rapidly
advances.
* What factors influence overreliance on LLMs?
* How can the consequences of overreliance be predicted and guarded against?
* What verifiable methods can be used to apportion accountability for the
outcomes of human-LLM interactions?
* What methods can be used to imbue such interactions with appropriate
levels
of “friction” to ensure that humans think through the decisions they make
with LLMs in the loop?
The ORIGen workshop provides a new venue to address these questions and
more
through a multidisciplinary lens. We seek to bring together broad
perspectives from AI, NLP, HCI, cognitive science, psychology, and
education
to highlight the importance of mediating human-LLM interactions to mitigate
overreliance and promote accountability in collaborative human-AI
decision-making.
Submissions are due June 20, 2025. Please see our call for papers [1] for
more!

Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the first call for papers of the
*Workshop on Advancing NLP for Low-Resource Languages (LowResNLP) at RANLP 2025*
The most important information at a glance:
🗓️ Deadline: July 6, Workshop: Sep 11-13
📍 Varna, Bulgaria
🌐 https://lrlnlp.github.io/website/
Despite rapid progress in Natural Language Processing (NLP), the benefits of recent advances - especially large language models (LLMs) - remain unevenly distributed. While high-resource languages like English, French, and Chinese have seen significant performance gains, low-resource languages continue to face substantial challenges across core NLP tasks such as machine translation, sentiment analysis, named entity recognition (NER), and part-of-speech tagging.
These disparities arise from a combination of factors: the scarcity of high-quality training data, limited linguistic resources, and a lack of community involvement in data collection and model development. As a result, many languages, particularly African, Indigenous, and minority languages, remain underrepresented in both academic research and deployed NLP systems.
LowResNLP is a workshop dedicated to addressing these challenges by fostering research, collaboration, and discussion around methods, resources, and evaluation practices specifically designed for low-resource languages. LowResNLP seeks to actively contribute to the field by inviting submissions that specifically address the unique challenges and opportunities involved in working with low-resource languages. The workshop welcomes a broad range of topics, including but not limited to:
* Language models and large language models for low-resource languages
* Corpora creation and curation technologies for low-resource languages
* Evaluation benchmarks for language models in low-resource languages
* Language models and resources for low-resource languages in Spain
* Machine/pivot translation for low-resource languages
* Fairness in resources/models for low-resource languages
* Prompting learning strategies for large language models
* Transfer learning and Crosslingual approaches for low-resource NLP
* Massively multilingual approaches to Low-Resource NLP
