<https://sites.google.com/view/andaluzia/home>, a meeting whose main
objective is to show the potential and give visibility to the academic and
research community in Artificial Intelligence in our region. This forum
seeks to highlight the work of Andalusian scientists, both those who are
currently working in Andalusia, as well as those who have spent part of
their training or career in the region, regardless of their current place
of work.
The first edition of the Andaluz.IA forum
<https://sites.google.com/view/andaluzia2023/> was organized at Universidad
Pablo Olavide in Seville and this year it will take place at Universidad de
Jaén. With this second edition, we want to continue highlighting the great
potential for research and academic development in Artificial Intelligence
that Andalusia has, in areas such as machine learning, deep learning,
robotics and natural language processing.
The event will be held in person on December 20, 2024 at the Antigua

participate by presenting their results in oral or poster format, provided
that they have been accepted in relevant conferences or journals in the
area. In addition, professionals and companies wishing to participate may
do so through sponsorship or direct participation by registering on the
event's website.
STRUCTURE OF THE EVENT
The II Andaluz.IA Forum will feature two keynote lectures by two leading
researchers, in particular the professor José Camacho-Collados from Cardiff
University and the professor Laura Sevilla from University of Edinburgh.
You can read more details about the keynotes at:

Today, there are many ways in which the human and social sciences use digital tools to investigate different aspects of human life and society. As the significance and use of digital resources continually expands into new fields of study, there are some disciplines which have already been working with digital methods for decades. This conference aims to present an overview of the current state of research in fields such as archival studies, cultural studies, history, linguistics, literature, performing and visual arts, philosophy where novel approaches are being made available through digital tools. The 2024 conference focusses on novel and innovative approaches to make use of digital applications, in particular in the light of the advent of machine learning and A.I. solutions.
DRDHum 2024 is organized by the University of Eastern Finland. The first (D)RDHum Conference was hosted at the University of Oulu in 2019, where the focus was specifically on linguistic text corpora. The second conference, 2022 at the University of Jyväskylä was more expansive, looking at digital resources and technologies within the humanities and include multi-modal approaches.

Neural language models have revolutionised natural language processing (NLP) and have provided state-of-the-art results for many tasks. However, their effectiveness is largely dependent on the pre-training resources. Therefore, language models (LMs) often struggle with low-resource languages in both training and evaluation. Recently, there has been a growing trend in developing and adopting LMs for low-resource languages. LoResLM aims to provide a forum for researchers to share and discuss their ongoing work on LMs for low-resource languages.
>> Topics
LoResLM 2025 invites submissions on a broad range of topics related to the development and evaluation of neural language models for low-resource languages, including but not limited to the following.
*
Building language models for low-resource languages.
*

*
Corpora creation and curation technologies for training language models/large language models for low-resource languages.
*
Benchmarks to evaluate language models/large language models in low-resource languages.
*
Prompting/in-context learning strategies for low-resource languages with large language models.
*
Review of available corpora to train/fine-tune language models/large language models for low-resource languages.
*
Multilingual/cross-lingual language models/large language models for low-resource languages.
*

UCCTS 2025 - First Call for Papers
The eighth edition of the UCCTS conference (www.uni-hildesheim.de/uccts2025) will be held on the 8-10th of September 2025 in Hildesheim, Germany.
UCCTS conference series are meant to bring together researchers who collect, annotate, analyze corpora and/or use them to inform contrastive linguistics and translation theory and/or develop corpus-informed tools (in foreign language teaching, language testing and quality assessment, translation pedagogy, computer-aided/machine translation or other related NLP domains). We invite original submissions that open to various topics within empirical contrastive linguistics and translation studies (see below). We welcome interdisciplinary contributions that combine corpus data with other types of empirical data (e.g. experiment) and allow for an interplay between different methods and data types. Moreover, we encourage contributions applying information and computational technologies including Large Language Models (LLMs).
Conference topics include:
* Quantitative approaches in corpus-based contrastive and translation/interpreting studies, in particular with multi-methodological designs (corpus-based, corpus-driven, experimental) and advanced statistical modeling * Computational methods derived from NLP and data mining (e.g. computational semantics, pragmatics) applied to contrastive linguistics and translation studies * LLMs for contrastive linguistics and translation research (data annotation, data analysis, etc.) * Method and data triangulation: combined use of corpus data and methods and other sources of data * New or remodeled theoretical frameworks relevant to corpus-based contrastive and translation/interpreting studies * Presentation of new resources for contrastive and translation studies (spoken and multimodal corpora, sign language (interpreting) corpora, transcript datasets, corpora of low-resourced languages, lexicons, databases, etc.) * Linguistic variation of various types, e.g. variation driven by register or genre variation, learner language, target audience, mode of production, etc. * Cognitive approaches to translation (and other language product) properties * Analysis of non-canonical forms of (multilingual) communication * Corpus use in translator training, foreign language learning/teaching * Corpus use in multilingual (e-)lexicography and terminology * Quality assessment in (automatic) translation and interpreting * Non-canonical forms of translation/interpreting and multilingual communication * Corpus analysis of translation between close languages, from a third language, non-native translation, indirect/relay translation, etc. * Analysis of accessible communication (e.g. intralingual translation, audio-visual and audio-descriptive forms, etc.)
The submissions are to be made in the form of anonymized extended abstracts (in PDF) that should be between 800 and 1000 words long (excluding references) by February 10, 2025. Apart from a clear outline of the aims and methods of the study, the abstracts should also provide (preliminary) results. The abstracts will be submitted through the Open review system and reviewed by at least two members of the scientific committee. The accepted contributions will be presented either as oral talks or as posters. All submissions must follow abstract submission instructions given below. Abstract text must be in single-spaced 12pt Arial font, with no indents and 1 inch borders on each side (2.54 cm). The title should be in 12pt Arial, bold and centered, in title case.

OVERVIEW
ACL 2025 invites the submission of long and short papers featuring
substantial, original, and unpublished research in all aspects of
Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. ACL 2025 has
a goal of a diverse technical program--in addition to traditional
research results, papers may contribute negative findings, survey an
area, announce the creation of a new resource, argue a position, report
novel linguistic insights derived using existing computational
techniques, and reproduce, or fail to reproduce, previous results. As in
recent years, some of the presentations at the conference will be of
papers accepted by the Transactions of the ACL (TACL) and by the
Computational Linguistics (CL) journals.
Papers submitted to ACL 2025, but not selected for the main conference,
will also automatically be considered for publication in the Findings of
the Association of Computational Linguistics.
PAPER SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Papers may be submitted to the ARR 2025 February cycle. Papers that have
received reviews and a meta-review from ARR (whether from the ARR 2025
February cycle or an earlier ARR cycle) may be committed to ACL 2025 via
the conference commitment site (TBA).

ACL 2025 Theme Track: Generalization of NLP Models
Following the success of the ACL 2020-2024 Theme tracks, we are happy to
announce that ACL 2025 will have a new theme with the goal of reflecting
and stimulating discussion about the current state of development of the
field of NLP.
Generalization is crucial for ensuring that models behave robustly,
reliably, and fairly when making predictions on data different from
their training data. Achieving good generalization is critically
important for models used in real-world applications, as they should
emulate human-like behavior. Humans are known for their ability to
generalize well, and models should aspire to this standard.
The theme track invites empirical and theoretical research and position
and survey papers reflecting on the Generalization of NLP Models. The
possible topics of discussion include (but are not limited to) the
following:
* How can we enhance the generalization of NLP models across various
dimensions--compositional, structural, cross-task, cross-lingual,
cross-domain, and robustness?
* What factors affect the generalization of NLP models?
* What are the most effective methods for evaluating the
generalization capabilities of NLP models?
* While Large Language Models (LLMs) significantly enhance the
generalization of NLP models, what are the key limitations of LLMs in
this regard?
The theme track submissions can be either long or short. We anticipate
having a special session for this theme at the conference and a Thematic
Paper Award in addition to other categories of awards.
TWO-STAGE REVIEW: SUBMISSION TO ARR, COMMITMENT TO ACL 2025
ACL 2025 will use ACL Rolling Review [7] (ARR)
https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp as a reviewing system, but final
decisions will be made by the conference. Both submissions of articles
for review and commitment of reviewed articles to the conference will be
performed via the Open Review [8] platform. Specifically, authors will
follow a two-step process:
* Authors submit articles to ARR, where submissions receive reviews
and meta-reviews from ARR reviewers and action editors;
* Authors commit their reviewed articles to a publication venue (e.g.,
ACL 2025), where Senior Area Chairs and Program Chairs make acceptance
decisions from the ARR reviews and meta-reviews.
ACL 2025 has chosen this approach in coordination with *CL 2024
conferences, which are adopting the same procedure and a coordinated
submission plan to allow maximum flexibility during their submission
periods for the authors. At each cycle, after a paper has been fully
reviewed, authors have the option to commit their paper to a conference
or revise and resubmit for another round of reviews.
The reviewing process will continue to be double-blind. Reviewers will
not see authors, nor will authors see reviewers, and reviews on ARR will
not be made publicly visible. However, authors will be given the option
through ARR to make their anonymized submitted articles publicly
visible.
MANDATORY REVIEWING WORKLOAD
AS THE PACE OF RESEARCH IN THE FIELD CONTINUES TO INCREASE, WE NEED TO
STRENGTHEN THE COMMITMENT TO REVIEWING FOR EACH PAPER SUBMISSION. DURING
THE ARR SUBMISSION PROCESS, AUTHORS WILL BE REQUIRED TO SPECIFY WHICH
CO-AUTHORS ARE COMMITTING TO COVER REVIEWING IN THIS REVIEWING CYCLE.
PLEASE SEE THE NEW ARR POLICY REGARDING REVIEWING WORKLOAD HERE. AS THIS
IS AN ARR-WIDE POLICY FOR ALL *CL CONFERENCES, QUESTIONS OR
CLARIFICATIONS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO ARR DIRECTLY.

Paper Submission Details
Both long and short paper submissions should follow all of the ARR
submission requirements [9], including:
* Long Papers [10] (8 pages) and Short Papers [11] (4 pages)
* Instructions for Two-Way Anonymized Review [12]
* Authorship [13]
* Citation and Comparison [14]
* Multiple Submission Policy [15], Resubmission Policy [16], and
Withdrawal Policy [17]
* Ethics Policy [18] including the responsible NLP research checklist
[19]
* Limitations [20]
* Paper Submission and Templates [21]
* Optional Supplementary Materials [22]
Final versions of accepted papers will be given one additional page of
content (up to 9 pages for long papers, up to 5 pages for short papers)
to address reviewers' comments.
Following the ACL and ARR policies
(https://www.aclweb.org/portal/content/report-acl-committee-anonymity-policy)
[23], there is no anonymity period requirement.
At the time of submission to ARR, authors will be asked to select a
preferred venue (e.g., ACL 2025). This is used only to calculate
acceptance rates. Authors who selected ACL 2025 as a preferred venue
when submitting to ARR may choose not to commit to ACL 2025 after
receiving their reviews, and authors who selected a preferred venue
other than ACL 2025 when submitting to ARR are still welcome to commit
to ACL 2025.
Presentation at the Conference
All accepted papers must be presented at the conference to appear in the
proceedings. The conference will include both in-person and virtual
presentation options. Papers without at least one presenting author
registered by the early registration deadline may be subject to desk
rejection. Long and short papers will be presented orally or as posters
as determined by the program committee. 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
papers presented as posters.
