[CfP] Second CfP for LowResNLP: Workshop on Advancing NLP for Low-Resource Languages @ RANLP 2025 (Varna, Bulgaria)
by Simon Ostermann 27 Jun '25

27 Jun '25

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the second 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 15 (NEW), 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 Important Dates: NEW Workshop paper submission deadline: 15 July 2025 (AoE) Workshop paper acceptance notification: 31 July 2025 Workshop paper camera-ready versions: 30 August 2025 Workshop camera-ready proceedings ready: 8 September 2025 Workshops: 11-13 September 2025 Submission formats: We invite the submission of both full papers and short papers. Full papers should not exceed 8 pages (plus unlimited number of pages for references and ethics/broader impact statement).

2nd CFP - Workshop SIR@IWCS2025
by Amandine Decker 25 Jun '25

25 Jun '25

*apologies for cross-postings* === Workshop SIR === First Workshop on Semantics for Interdisciplinary Research SIR@IXCS2025 - Düsseldorf - September 24 2025 ================================= https://team.inria.fr/semagramme/first-workshop-on-semantics-for-interdisci… https://openreview.net/group?id=inria.fr/INRIA/S%C3%A9magramme/2025/SIR01 ================================= In recent years, Natural Language Processing (NLP) has increasingly intersected with the humanities and social sciences, offering new methodologies for analyzing textual data, interpreting meaning, and modelling language-based phenomena. The potential for multi-disciplinary research using NLP methods is particularly great in computational semantics (CS), as its ability to process and represent meaning opens up innovative pathways for researchers in history, philosophy, literary studies, political science, etc. This workshop aims to explore how semantic models and tools can be leveraged to tackle traditional and emerging questions in the Humanities in a broader sense (Social Sciences, Law, Economics, Management, Literature, Languages, Art, …). A major theme of SIR is the role of semantics in NLP applied to the humanities (both statistical and symbolic approaches). === Topics to Explore === • CS and the humanities: issues, tools and applications • Quantitative and qualitative approaches as a breakthrough in the Humanities • NLP transforming humanities issues • Contributions and limitations for understanding meaning • Links between formal semantics and neural models • Ambiguity, polyphony and interpretation in the Humanities • Ethics and bias in semantic modelling • Interdisciplinary dialogue between AI, NLP and Humanities === Dates === • Deadline : July 14th (anywhere on earth) • Notification : August 25th (anywhere on earth) • Camera Ready : September 10th (anywhere on earth) • Workshop : September 24th (anywhere on earth) === Submission Information === Papers should describe original research and must not exceed 4 pages (with an extra page in the camera ready version for accepted papers). Papers should be submitted no later than 14 July 2025 (anywhere on earth). Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings in the ACL Anthology. For inclusion in the proceedings, at least one author must register to the conference and present the paper in person. Submissions should be fully anonymous to ensure double-blind reviewing. === Submission === https://openreview.net/group?id=inria.fr/INRIA/S%C3%A9magramme/2025/SIR01 === Style Files === The workshop follow the IWCS 2025 template see the workshop web page. === Organizers === Maxime Amblard, Université de Lorraine Ellen Breitholtz, Gothenburg University === Contact === maxime.amblard(a)univ-lorraine.fr and ellen.breitholtz(a)ling.gu.se

[CLEF 2026] Call for Lab Proposals - Deadline 14th of July
by Julia Maria Struß 24 Jun '25

24 Jun '25

***Apologies for cross-posting *** ------------------------------------------- CLEF 2026 Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum Jena, Germany, September 21-24, 2026 https://clef2026.clef-initiative.eu/ <http://clef2022.clef-initiative.eu> ------------------------------------------- Call for Lab Proposals Background The CLEF Initiative <http://www.clef-initiative.eu/>is a self-organised body whose main mission is to promote research, innovation, and development of information access systems with an emphasis on multilingual information in different modalities - including text and multimedia - with various levels of structure. CLEF promotes research and development by providing an infrastructure for: 1. Independent evaluation of information access systems 2. Investigation of the use of unstructured, semi-structured, highly-structured, and semantically enriched data in information access 3. Creation of reusable test collections for benchmarking 4. Exploration of new evaluation methodologies and innovative ways of using experimental data 5. Discussion of results, comparison of approaches, exchange of ideas, and transfer of knowledge Scope of CLEF Labs We invite submission of proposals for two types of labs: 1. "Campaign-style" Evaluation Labs for specific information access problems (during the twelve months period preceding the conference), similar in nature to the traditional CLEF campaign "tracks". Topics covered by campaign-style labs can be inspired by any information access-related domain or task. 2. Labs that follow a more classical "workshop" pattern, exploring evaluation methodology, metrics, processes, etc. in information access and closely related fields, such as natural language processing, machine translation, and human-computer interaction. We highly recommend organisers new to the CLEF format of shared task evaluation campaigns to first consider organising a lab workshop to discuss the format of their proposed task, the problem space and practicalities of the shared task. The CLEF 2026 programme will reserve about half of the conference schedule for lab sessions. During the conference, the lab organisers will present their overall results in overview presentations during the plenary scientific paper sessions to give non-participants insights into where the research frontiers are moving. Lab organisers are expected to organise separate sessions for their lab with ample time for general discussion and engagement with all participants - not just those presenting campaign results and papers. Organisers should plan time in their sessions for activities such as panels, demos, poster sessions, etc. as appropriate. CLEF is always interested in receiving and facilitating innovative lab proposals. Potential task proposers unsure of the suitability of their task proposal or its format for inclusion at CLEF are encouraged to contact the CLEF 2026 Lab Organizing Committee Chairs to discuss its suitability or design at an early stage. Proposal Submission Lab proposals must provide sufficient information to judge the relevance, timeliness, scientific quality, benefits for the research community, and the competence of the proposers to coordinate the lab. Each lab proposal should identify one or more organisers as responsible for ensuring the timely execution of the lab. Proposals should be 3 to 4 pageslong and should provide the following information: 1. Title of the proposed lab. 2. A brief description of the lab topic and goals, its relevance to CLEF and the significance for the field. 3. A brief and clear statement on usage scenarios and domain to which the activity is intended to contribute, including the evaluation setup and metrics. 4. Details on the lab organiser(s), including identifying the task chair(s) responsible for ensuring the running of the task. This should include details of any previous involvement in organising or participating in evaluation tasks at CLEF or similar campaigns. 5. The planned format of the lab, i.e., campaign-style (“track”) or workshop. 6. Is the lab a continuation of an activity from previous year(s) or a new activity? 1. For activities continued from previous year(s): Statistics from previous years (number of participants/runs for each task), a clear statement on why another edition is needed, an explicit listing of the changes proposed, and a discussion of lessons to be learned or insights to be made. 2. For new activities: A statement on why a new evaluation campaign is needed and how the community would benefit from the activity. 7. Details of the expected target audience, i.e., who do you expect to participate in the task(s), and how do you propose to reach them. 8. Brief details of tasks to be carried out in the lab. The proposal should clearly motivate the need for each of the proposed tasks and provide evidence of its capability of attracting enough participation. The dataset which will be adopted by the Lab needs to be described and motivated in the perspective of the goals of the Labs; also indications on how the dataset will be shared are useful. It is fine for a lab to have a single task, but labs often contain multiple closely related tasks, needing a strong motivation for more than 3 tasks, to avoid useless fragmentation. 9. Expected length of the lab session at the conference: half-day, one day, two days. This should include high-level details of planned structure of the session, e.g. participant presentations, invited speaker(s), panels, etc., to justify the requested session length. 10. Arrangements for the organisation of the lab campaign: who will be responsible for activities within the task; how will data be acquired or created, what tools or methods will be used, e.g., how will necessary queries be created or relevance assessment carried out; any other information which is relevant to the conduct of your lab. 11. If the lab proposes to set up a steering committee to oversee and advise its activities, include names, addresses, and homepage links of people you propose to be involved. Lab proposals must be submitted via EasyChair. The link will be distributed, once EasyChair is set up. Review Process Each proposal submitted by 14 July 2025will be reviewed by the CLEF 2026 Lab Organising Committee. The acceptance decision will be sent by email to the responsible organiser by 4 Aug 2025. The final length of the lab session at the conference will be determined based on the overall organisation of the conference and the number of participant submissions received by a lab. Advertising Labs at CLEF 2025 and ECIR 2026 Organisers of accepted labs are expected to advertise their labs at both CLEF 2025 (September 9-12, 2025, Madrid, Spain) and ECIR 2026 (March 29 - April 2, 2026, Delft, Netherlands). So, at least one lab representative should attend these events. Advertising at CLEF 2025 will consist of displaying a poster describing the new lab and advertising/announcing it during the closing session. Advertising at ECIR 2026 will consist of submitting a lab description (abstract submission deadline TBA by ECIR) to be included in ECIR 2026 proceedings and advertising the lab in a booster session during ECIR 2026. Lab Proposals from Newcomers If you have not organised a lab before, do not panic! The CLEF 2026 Lab Organising Committee Lab is willing to mentor you by offering help, guidance, and feedback on the writing of your draft lab proposal.
