[2nd CfP] 3rd Shared Task of the Open Language Data Initiative @ WMT26
by Laurie Burchell 24 Jun '26

24 Jun '26

We invite submissions for the 3rd Shared Task of the Open Language Data Initiative (OLDI), held as part of WMT at EMNLP 2026 (Budapest, 28–29 October). *Key dates (AoE):* - Paper and data submission: 7 August 2026 - Notification of acceptance: 2 September 2026 - Camera-ready: 11 September 2026 *Background* Foundational datasets such as FLORES and NTREX have played a key role in enabling progress in language technologies for some under-served languages. OLDI aims to empower language communities to contribute to the key datasets that expand language technology to more language varieties. Additionally, machine translation depends increasingly on automatic quality evaluation for tasks such as filtering training data, ranking candidates, reinforcement learning, and benchmarking. However, human-annotated quality data exists for only a handful of languages, and how well evaluation methods generalise to new ones remains an open question. *Scope* The task's primary goal is to expand OLDI's open datasets to more languages. We solicit contributions to: - the MT evaluation dataset FLORES+ ( https://huggingface.co/datasets/openlanguagedata/flores_plus) - the OLDI Seed dataset ( https://huggingface.co/datasets/openlanguagedata/oldi_seed) - other high-quality, massively-parallel, open-source datasets (e.g. SMOL, WMT24++, BOUQuET) Contributions may add new languages, varieties or dialects; substantially improve existing datasets; or create entirely new massively multilingual open translation datasets. We also welcome new or extended datasets of *translation quality annotations* for under-served languages: source texts, their machine or human translations, and human judgements of translation quality. *Submissions* To help us gauge interest and coordinate efforts, please email the organisers before submitting: info(a)oldi.org. Full contribution guidelines and submission format are on the shared task website ( https://www2.statmt.org/wmt26/open-data.html) and OLDI's homepage ( https://oldi.org/).

10th Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms (WOAH) @EMNLP: Submission Deadline Extension
by Agostina Calabrese 24 Jun '26

24 Jun '26

*** Submission Deadline Extension *** We invite paper submissions to the 10th Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms (WOAH), which will take place on the 29th of October at EMNLP 2026. Website: https://www.workshopononlineabuse.com/cfp.html Important Dates * Registration deadline for mentorship programme: April 10, 2026 * Notification of mentor/mentee match: April 25, 2026 * Submission due: June 26, 2026 July 3, 2026 * ARR reviewed submission due: August 3, 2026 * Notification of acceptance: August 15, 2026 * Camera-ready papers due: September 10, 2026 * Workshop: 29th October 2026 Overview Digital technologies have brought significant benefits to society, transforming how people connect, communicate, and interact. However, these same technologies have also enabled the widespread dissemination and amplification of abusive and harmful content, such as hate speech, harassment, and misinformation. Given the sheer volume of content shared online, addressing abuse and harm at scale requires the use of computational tools. Yet, detecting and moderating online abuse remains a complex task, fraught with technical, social, legal, and ethical challenges. The 10th Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms (WOAH) invites paper submissions from a diverse range of fields, including but not limited to natural language processing, machine learning, computational social science, law, political science, psychology, sociology, and cultural studies. We explicitly encourage interdisciplinary research, technical and non-technical contributions, and submissions that focus on under-resourced languages. Non-archival papers and civil society reports are also welcome. Topics covered by WOAH include, but are not limited to: * New models or methods for detecting abusive and harmful online content, including misinformation; * Biases and limitations in existing detection models or datasets for abusive and harmful content, especially those in commercial use; * Development of new datasets and taxonomies for online abuse and harms; * Novel evaluation metrics and procedures for detecting harmful content; * Analyses of the dynamics of online abuse, its propagation, and its impact on different communities; * Social, legal, and ethical considerations in detecting, monitoring, and moderating online abuse. Special Theme: “Ten Years of WOAH: Reflecting on Progress and New Frontiers” In its 10th edition, WOAH highlights the theme “Ten Years of WOAH: Reflecting on Progress and New Frontiers”. Over the past decade, WOAH has become a central interdisciplinary venue for online harms research. As harms and enabling technologies have evolved, the field has moved beyond an early focus on textual hate speech and harassment to address more complex phenomena. Advances in AI and online ecosystems have expanded the scale and diversity of harms. Transformer models, multimodal platforms, and recommendation systems have contributed to the escalation of issues like misinformation, radicalisation, child sexual exploitation, identity-based abuse, algorithmic bias, privacy violations, and AI-mediated harms. Methods tackling this have evolved from monolingual lexicon-based approaches to deep learning, multilinguality, multimodality, interpretability, and interdisciplinarity. Despite this progress, fundamental challenges remain. There is limited consensus on what constitutes “harm”, how context and thresholds should be defined, or how harms vary across cultures and modalities. These ambiguities affect datasets and models, constrain comparability, and often marginalise affected communities. The past decade also calls for critical self-reflection. Research has frequently prioritised detection, high-resource languages, and narrowly defined phenomena over intervention, global perspectives, and systemic or structural harms, with insufficient attention to user agency, platform incentives, lived experience, and participatory approaches. Finally, ten years of work have underscored that interdisciplinarity is essential for addressing the sociotechnical nature of the phenomenon. Addressing future online harms will require deeper integration across NLP, ML, social sciences, law, policy, and HCI. WOAH 10 seeks to consolidate lessons from the past decade, identify enduring gaps, and connect research, practice, and policy to guide the next generation of work on online harms. Submission Submission is electronic, using the Softconf START conference management system. Submission link: https://softconf.com/emnlp2026/woah2026/ The workshop will accept three types of papers. 1) Academic Papers (long and short): Long papers of up to 8 pages, excluding references, and short papers of up to 4 pages, excluding references. Unlimited pages for references and appendices. Accepted papers will be given an additional page of content to address reviewer comments. Previously published papers cannot be accepted. 2) Non-Archival Submissions: Up to 2 pages, excluding references, to summarise and showcase in-progress work and work published elsewhere. 3) Civil Society Reports: Non-archival submissions, with a minimum of 2 pages and no upper limit. Can include work published elsewhere. All submissions must use the official ACL style files<https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files>. Submissions that do not conform to the required styles, including paper size, margin width, and font size restrictions, will be rejected without review. All submissions should adhere to the workshop policies https://www.workshopononlineabuse.com/policies.html.

This year we will bring experiences from self- made tools, usage of AI, generative AI and machine learning in relation to software reliability. Industry track papers are expected to be of interest to software development professionals, as well as to anyone researching or working in the area of software reliability, software quality, and process improvement groups, with concrete relevance to industrial problems and practical applications. All presenters of accepted papers will be required to attend the conference in person. Participating in the conference would give a chance to meet and discuss with a wide selection of researchers and other industry experts in the area. Topics of Interest Topics of interest include development, analysis methods and models throughout the software development lifecycle, from an industrial and practitioner-oriented perspective. Ask yourself this: Is the work grounded in real-world systems, operational experience, or industrial practice, and does it address reliability or dependability concerns? If it is, you have found the right conference track. For a more detailed list check out the detailed topics list for the research track on this site. • Use cases, practical experiences, lessons learned, improvement programs in reliability or dependability. • Foundations of reliability and dependability, including process, technology, methods, metrics and lessons learned. • Design for reliability or dependability, failure and incident case studies, including experiences in security, testing, verification, and related practices in the field. • Reliability in AI-driven and autonomic systems or AI techniques used for Reliability Engineering. • Software reliability in any system domain. • Trustworthiness, security, and Responsible Software Engineering. • Human-centric focus on reliability and dependability. • Adoption of reliability standards, measurements and similar experiences. We look for papers with good evaluation, honest data, new insights and practical experiences that can be used to help others. We also encourage submissions reporting negative results, unexpected outcomes, and lessons learned from real-world practice. Submission Guidelines and Instructions We invite three kinds of submissions to the Industry Track: • Enlightening Talk or Tool Demo: 1-2 page abstract (OR a Power Point presentation OR a video for a tool demo). • Short paper: 4-pages (including references). • Full paper: 6-pages (including references). All the submissions will be reviewed by members of the Industry Track Program Committee. Accepted papers (with an abstract) will be included in the ISSRE Supplemental Proceedings and submitted for publication to IEEE Xplore. Papers are submitted via Easy Chair https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=issre2026 . Submissions must adhere to the IEEE Computer Society Format Guidelines (for more Information, please refer to the relevant part on the conference website: https://cyprusconferences.org/issre2026/industry-track/). Note that: • A paper must include the title, the name and affiliation of each author, an abstract of up to 150 words, and up to 4 keywords. Thus, submissions are not anonymous. • Reviewers will use the abstract during the bidding process for peer-review. Thus, the abstract should state the paper goals clearly, along with the means used to achieve them. • The first page is not a separate page, but is a part of the paper (i.e., it has technical material in it). Thus, this page counts toward the total page budget for the paper. • Symbols and labels used in the graphs should be readable as printed, without requiring on-screen magnification. • Limit the file size to less than 15 MB (for Video’s – provide a live link). Papers that exceed the page limits specified, on topics not in the scope of ISSRE, or that do not follow the formatting guidelines will be rejected without review. Authors of accepted papers will have the chance to present their work at ISSRE 2026. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register for the conference and to give the talk, if the paper is accepted. Best Paper Awards The Industry Program Chair will select three candidates among top-ranked papers presenting and motivating novel and disruptive ideas that address problems relevant for industry. Selection will be based on the reviewers’ feedback, novelty and potential impact of the results. The final selection of the best paper will be done by the audience attending the presentation of the candidate papers. Eligible papers must be (1) full papers accepted to the industry track, and (2) co-authored by at least one author whose primary affiliation is in Industry.

CFP: International AIWolf Competition 2026 and AIWolfDial 2026 International Workshop
by Yoshinobu Kano 24 Jun '26

24 Jun '26

Call for Participation: International AIWolf Competition 2026 and AIWolfDial 2026 International Workshop Official Details Page: https://aiwolfdial.github.io/aiwolf-nlp/page/inlg_2026/ [Call for Participation] This is a call for participation for the international competition competing in the automated play of the conversational game "Werewolf," as well as for the peer-reviewed international workshop. We look forward to your participation. [Overview] "The 4th International Workshop on AI Werewolf and Dialog Systems (AIWolfDial2026)" will be held as a co-located workshop with INLG 2026 (19th International Conference on Natural Language Generation) on a date between October 17 and October 21, 2026, in Utrecht, Netherlands. Prior to the workshop, we will host the 2026 International AIWolf Contest Natural Language Track. This tournament is divided into two rounds (1st and 2nd); the results of the 1st round can be used to submit a paper to the INLG main conference, and the results of the 2nd round can be used to submit to the AIWolfDial 2026 workshop. The language for agents in the international competition is English only. [Workshop Overview] This workshop focuses on the integration of dialog systems, natural language processing (NLP), large language models (LLMs), and game AI, with a particular emphasis on their application to the Werewolf game. The Werewolf game is a social deduction game that requires advanced communication skills such as discussion, reasoning, persuasion, and deception, making it an ideal test environment for evaluating the advancement of AI capabilities like coherent dialogue, long-context understanding, consensus building, and logical reasoning. [Shared Task (Contest)] This workshop will host a public international contest for AI agents that play the Werewolf game. Participants are challenged to develop agents capable of not only strategic play but also logical, persuasive, and sometimes deceptive conversation with other AIs. This contest serves as a benchmark for discovering critical challenges and future research directions in the NLP field, while also exploring the limitations of current LLMs. [Hosted Tracks] Turn-Based Track: This is a turn-based track where the agent speaks and acts when a request is received from the server provided by the management. o 5-Player Village (2 Villagers, 1 Seer, 1 Possessed, 1 Werewolf) o 9-Player Village (3 Villagers, 1 Seer, 1 Bodyguard, 1 Medium, 1 Possessed, 2 Werewolves) Anytime Utterance Track: This is a track where the agent can speak at any timing alongside the start signal of each day. There is an upper limit to the number of utterances per day (4 times). o 5-Player Village (2 Villagers, 1 Seer, 1 Possessed, 1 Werewolf) [Important Dates (Shared Task)] The schedule for this tournament is divided into a 1st and 2nd round, as shown below. A connection check will be conducted prior to the main tournament. During the connection check, you must verify that you can connect to the official competition server and run the game normally. Teams whose normal connection and game execution are confirmed on the server side will advance to the main tournament. The deadlines are as shown below. While a separate final tournament will not be held, top teams may be selected based on subjective evaluations and win rates from the main tournament results, and statistics may be compiled solely for these top teams by extracting the main tournament logs of matches played among them. Note: Deadlines related to papers are included below; please refer to this schedule from each page on this website. All dates are in AoE. 1st Round (For INLG Main Conference) o July 4, 2026: Registration deadline for "1st + 2nd" participating teams / Connection check deadline o From July 6, 2026: 1st Round Main Tournament (Online matches) o July 10, 2026: Return of 1st Round results o July 15, 2026: INLG main conference paper deadline 2nd Round (For AIWolfDial 2026 Workshop) o August 1, 2026: Registration deadline for "2nd only" participating teams / 2nd round connection check deadline o From August 3, 2026: 2nd Round Main Tournament (Online matches) o August 10, 2026: Return of 2nd Round results o From August 15, 2026: AIWolfDial 2026 workshop paper deadline (After INLG main conference acceptance notification / Submissions are allowed even if rejected from main) o September 7, 2026: Notification of acceptance o September 15, 2026: Camera-ready manuscript deadline o October 17 - October 21, 2026: AIWolfDial 2026 Workshop / INLG 2026 Conference (Utrecht) [Further Information] Please check here for detailed competition rules and specifics regarding the implementation of AIWolf agents. o Official Details Page: https://aiwolfdial.github.io/aiwolf-nlp/page/inlg_2026/ o Contest Registration Form: https://forms.gle/53MJBSaLTe6xDw5o6 o Past Competition Logs: https://aiwolfdial.github.io/aiwolf-nlp-viewer -- Yoshinobu Kano, Ph.D. Professor, Research Fellow Faculty of Informatics, Shizuoka University personal webpage: http://kanolab.net/kano/ e-mail: kano(a)kanolab.net kano(a)inf.shizuoka.ac.jp

Three kinds of papers can be submitted for the archival track: Long papers are most appropriate for presenting substantial research results and must not exceed eight (8) pages of content, plus unlimited pages of ethical considerations, supplementary material statements, and references. The supplementary material statement provides detailed descriptions to support the reproduction of the results presented in the paper (see below for details). The final versions of long papers will be given one additional page of content (up to 9 pages) so that reviewers' comments can be taken into account. Short papers are more appropriate for presenting an ongoing research effort and must not exceed four (4) pages, plus unlimited pages of ethical considerations, supplementary material statements, and references. The final versions of short papers will be given one additional page of content (up to 5 pages) so that reviewers' comments can be taken into account. Demo papers should be no more than two (2) pages, including references, and should describe implemented systems relevant to the NLG community. It also should include a link to a short screencast of the working software. In addition, authors of demo papers must be willing to present a demo of their system during INLG 2026. Next to the standard paper types (surveys, experiments, resource papers, position papers), we also welcome squibs: papers that present an empirical or theoretical issue without necessarily providing a solution. NON-ARCHIVAL TRACK Through the non-archival track, we hope to foster more discussion on current trends in NLG, and to offer a space for researchers to obtain feedback on their current projects. For this track, we welcome two kinds of submissions: - Papers published elsewhere. These may be published either in a journal or at another conference, and should be relevant to the INLG audience. - Work in progress. These may be papers about completed work that has not yet been published or preliminary results that merit discussion at the conference. Submissions should consist of a title and a short abstract (max. 300 words). Submissions for the non-archival track will undergo a light review process (assessing the relevance of the submission for INLG), and accepted works will be presented as posters. FORMAT Submissions should follow ACL Author Guidelines and policies for submission, review and citation, and be anonymised for double blind reviewing. Please use ACL style files; LaTeX style files and Microsoft Word templates are available at https://acl-org.github.io/ACLPUB/formatting.html. Authors must honor the ethical code set out in the ACL Code of Ethics. If your work raises any ethical issues, you should include an explicit discussion of those issues. This will also be taken into account in the review process. You may find this checklist of use. Authors are strongly encouraged to ensure that their work is reproducible; see, e.g., the following reproducibility checklist. Papers involving any kind of experimental results (human judgments, system outputs, etc) should incorporate a data availability statement into their paper. Authors are asked to indicate whether the data is made publicly available. If the data is not made available, authors should provide a brief explanation why. (E.g. because the data contains proprietary information.) A statement guide is available on the INLG 2026 website. To submit a long or short paper to INLG 2026, authors can either submit directly or commit a paper previously reviewed by ARR. For direct submissions, the deadline for submitting papers is July 15, 2026, 11:59:59 PM (Anywhere on Earth). If committing an ARR paper to INLG, the submission is also made through the INLG 2026 paper submission site, indicating the link of the paper on OpenReview. The deadline for committing an ARR paper to INLG is August 5, 2026, 11:59:59 PM AOE, and the last eligible ARR paper submission deadline for INLG 2026 is May 25, 2026. Demo papers should be submitted directly through the INLG 2026 paper submission site by July 15, 2026, 11:59:59 PM AOE. All accepted papers will be published in the INLG 2026 proceedings and included in the ACL anthology. A paper accepted for presentation at INLG 2026 must not have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available proceedings. Dual submission to other conferences is permitted, provided that authors clearly indicate this in the submission form. If the paper is accepted at both venues, the authors will need to choose which venue to present at, since they can not present the same paper twice. Submitted papers for review at INLG 2026 must not be published elsewhere until after the notification of acceptance. Finally, at least one of the authors of an accepted paper must register to attend the conference. AWARDS INLG 2026 will present several awards to recognize outstanding achievements in the field. These awards are: - Best Long Paper Award: This award will be given to the best long paper submission based on its originality, impact, and contribution to the field of NLG. - Best Short Paper Award: This award will be given to the best short paper submission based on its originality, impact, and contribution to the field of NLG. - Best Demo Paper Award: This award will recognize the best demo paper submitted to the conference. This award considers not only the paper's quality but also the demonstration given at the conference. The demonstration will play a significant role in the judging process. - Best Evaluation Award: The award was introduced at INLG 2024. This award is designed to honour authors who have demonstrated the most comprehensive and insightful analysis in evaluating their results. This award aims to highlight papers where the authors have gone the extra mile in providing a thorough and detailed analysis of their results, offering a nuanced understanding of their findings.

Site: <https://sites.google.com/view/memo-workshop/> MeMo Workshop https://sites.google.com/view/memo-workshop/ Date: 26/6/2026 Location: online or in person (Rome, Italy) Registration link (free but necessary): <https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=Kr7FJGTXxUCZdYLQiuR9Dnl 0_dxZ6e5PtNMq7QTRydxUNkpEODRHQkFVWEhJTDE5S0NCSkdVR0hLQi4u> Register here Are you surprised about the ability of LLMs to perform complex reasoning tasks? Do you have a particular keenness for cracking the code of their inner workings? If the answer is yes, that's the case you are working in mechanistic interpretability or in neuro-symbolic reasoning of LLMs. Then, this is the workshop for you! Observing properties and understanding the inner workings are two sides of the same coin. Another way is possible (e.g., <https://aclanthology.org/2025.findings-acl.785/> Position Paper: MeMo: Towards Language Models with Associative Memory Mechanisms - ACL Anthology)! In the workshop, authors will discuss focused contributions on: * Mechanistic Interpretability by-design * Neuro-symbolic approaches by-design Apologies for multiple posting, but we really hope to see you there.
