[3rd CFP] The LLMs4Subjects Shared Task -- LLMs meet Extreme Multi-label Classification of Records in Digital Libraries
by D'Souza, Jennifer 21 May '25

21 May '25

The 2nd LLMs4Subjects Shared Task: LLM-based Subject Tagging for the TIB Technical Library's Digital Catalog Theme: The Development of Energy- and Compute-Efficient LLM Systems Organized as part of the German Evaluation (GermEval 2025) Shared Task Series 10. - 12. September, 2025 Hildesheim, Germany (co-located with KONVENS 2025 - Conference on Natural Language Processing) 2nd LLMs4Subjects Shared Task: https://sites.google.com/view/llms4subjects-germeval/ Join the Codabench Competition: https://www.codabench.org/competitions/8373/ KONVENS 2025: https://konvens-2025.hs-hannover.de/about/ Task Overview LLMs4Subjects challenges the research community to develop cutting-edge LLM-based solutions for subject tagging of technical records from Leibniz University's Technical Library (TIBKAT). Participants are tasked with leveraging large language models (LLMs) to tag technical records using the GND taxonomy. The task involves bilingual language modeling, as systems must process technical documents in both German and English. Successful solutions may be integrated into the operational workflows of TIB, the Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology. With the rapid advancements in LLMs, the focus is shifting toward making these models more energy- and compute-efficient while maintaining high performance. Recent innovations, such as the DeepSeek series, have demonstrated how techniques like mixture-of-experts (MoE) and model distillation can significantly reduce computational costs without sacrificing effectiveness. The 2nd LLMs4Subjects shared task highlights the importance of efficiency in LLMs, encouraging participants to explore strategies that enhance model performance while optimizing for energy consumption and inference speed. We welcome approaches (but not limited to) that leverage model compression, quantization, efficient fine-tuning, and adaptive computation techniques to push the boundaries of sustainable AI development. Subtasks The 2nd LLMs4Subjects shared task organizes the following two subtasks: Subtask 1 - Multi-Domain Classification of Library Records Subtask 2 - Large-scale Multilabel Subject Indexing of Library Records Important Dates * Release of training data: March 8, 2025 * Release of testing data: May 30, 2025 * Deadline for system submissions: June 2, 2025 * Evaluation end: June 27, 2025 * Paper submission deadline: July 7, 2025 * Notification of acceptance: June 28, 2025 * Camera-ready paper due: August 15, 2025 * Workshop/KONVENS: September 10 - 12, 2025 (TBA) Note: Submit your system outputs on our Codabench live leaderboard at https://www.codabench.org/competitions/8373/

20 May '25

Dear all, As the deadline is fast approaching, I would like to inform you about a call for papers for a thematic track at FedCSIS 2025 (IEEE #61123) called "AI in Digital Humanities, Computational Social Sciences and Economics Research (AI-HuSo)". FedCSIS 2025 will be held in Kraków, Poland, 14-17 September 2025. Paper submission (no extensions): 25.05.2025 See https://2025.fedcsis.org/thematic/ai-huso for details. This thematic session is dedicated to the computational study of Social Sciences, Economics and Humanities, including all subjects like, for example, education, labour market, history, religious studies, theology, cultural heritage, and informative predictions for decision-making and behavioural-science perspectives. While digital methods, intelligence systems, and AI have been emerging topics in these fields for several decades, this thematic session is not only limited to discoveries in these domains, but also dedicated to the reflections of these methods and results within the field of computer science. Thus, we are in particular interested in interdisciplinary exchange and dissemination with a clear focus on computational and AI methods for intelligence systems. Since there is a clear methodological overlap between these three domains and often similar algorithms and AI approaches are considered, we see this thematic session as place for interdisciplinary learning, discussing a joint toolbox as a support for scholars from these field with human and context-aware agents. The aim of this thematic session is thus to bridge the gap between scientific domains, foster interdisciplinary exchange and discuss how research questions from other domains challenge current computer science. In particular, we are interested in communications between researchers from different fields of computer science, social sciences, economics, humanities, and practitioners from different fields. Topics ====== The list of topics includes, but is not limited to: - AI and computational approaches for the interdisciplinary work of the social sciences, economics, and humanities: report on theoretical, methodological, experimental, and applied research. - AI and computational approaches for linking data from different digital resources, including online social networks, web and data mining, Knowledge Graphs, Ontologies. - AI and computational methods for text mining and textual analysis, for example texts within social sciences, digital literary studies, computational stylistics and stylometry. - Text encoding, computational linguistics, annotation guidelines, OCR for humanities, economics, and social sciences. - Network analysis, including social and historical network analysis. - Ethical and philosophical considerations of AI in society, education and humanties research In general, the applications of interest are included in the list below, but are not limited to: - Labour market research and qualification, including behavioral-science perspectives. - Education: Digital methods and systems, e-learning, adult education, etc. - Contributions to the application of technology to culture, history, and societal issues: For example, computational text analysis, analytical and visualization, databases, etc. - In particular, we welcome submissions which focus on a critical reflection of digital methods in the humanities, economics and social sciences within computer science. - Linking of digital resources, a discussion of data sets, their quality and reliability, combining quantitative and qualitative data, anonymization and data protection. Contact: ai-huso(a)fedcsis.org Submission rules ================ - Authors should submit their papers as Postscript, PDF or MSWord files. - The total length of a paper should not exceed 12 pages IEEE style (including tables, figures and references). More pages can be added, for an additional fee. IEEE style templates are available here. - Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the Topical Area. - Preprints containing accepted papers will be published online. - Only papers presented at the conference will be published in Conference Proceedings and submitted for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore® database. - Conference proceedings will be published in a volume with ISBN, ISSN and DOI numbers and posted at the conference WWW site. - Conference proceedings will be submitted for indexation according to information here. - Organizers reserve right to move accepted papers between FedCSIS Sessions. Extended versions of selected papers presented at the conference may be published in a volume entitled "Advances in Computational Social Sciences: AI, Computational Methods and Applications for the Study of Society", to be published by Springer.

Second call for papers Sixth Workshop on Resources for African
by Menno Van Zaanen 19 May '25

19 May '25

Second call for papers Sixth Workshop on Resources for African Indigenous Language (RAIL) Co-located with DHASA 2025 https://sadilar.org/rail-2025/ RAIL Workshop date: 10 November 2025 DHASA Conference dates: 10-14 November 2025 Venue: CSIR International Convention Centre. The sixth RAIL workshop website: https://sadilar.org/rail-2025/ DHASA website: https://digitalhumanities.org.za/ The sixth Resources for African Indigenous Languages (RAIL) workshop will be co-located with the Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa (DHASA) 2025 conference at the CSIR International Convention Centre in Pretoria, South Africa, on 10 November 2025. The RAIL workshop is an interdisciplinary platform for researchers working on African indigenous languages resources such as natural languages processing (NLP) tools, Human Language Technologies (HLT), data collections, and annotations. This workshop aims to foster a scientific community of practice that focuses on computational linguistic tools and data that are designed for or applied to the indigenous languages of Africa. Many African languages are under-resourced while only a few are considered to be somewhat better resourced. These languages often share interesting properties such as writing systems, making them different from most high-resourced languages. From a computational perspective, these languages lack enough corpora to undertake high level development of NLP and HLT tools, which in turn impedes the development of African languages in these areas. During previous workshops, it was noted that the problems and solutions presented were not only applicable to African languages but were also relevant to many other low-resource languages across the world. Because these languages share similar challenges, this workshop provides researchers with opportunities to work collaboratively on issues of language resource development and learn from each other. The RAIL workshop has several aims. First, the workshop brings together researchers who work on African indigenous languages, forming a community of practice for people working on indigenous languages. Second, the workshop aims to reveal currently unknown or unpublished existing resources (corpora, NLP tools, and applications), resulting in a better overview of the current state-of-the-art, and also allows for discussions on novel, desired resources for future research in this area. Third, it enhances sharing of knowledge on the development of low-resource languages. Finally, it enables discussions on how to improve the quality as well as availability of the resources. The workshop has “Language resources in the age of large language models” as its theme, but submissions on any topic related to properties of African indigenous languages (including related non- African languages) may be accepted. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to) the following: * Digital representations of linguistic structures * Descriptions of corpora or other data sets of African indigenous languages * Building resources for (under-resourced) African indigenous languages * Developing and using African indigenous languages in the digital age * Effectiveness of digital technologies for the development of African indigenous languages * Revealing unknown or unpublished existing resources for African indigenous languages * Developing desired resources for African indigenous languages * Improving quality, availability and accessibility of African indigenous language resources Submission requirements: We invite papers on original, unpublished work related to the topics of the workshop. Submissions, presenting completed work, may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content plus additional pages of references. The final camera-ready version of accepted long papers are allowed one additional page of content (up to 9 pages) so that reviewers’ feedback can be incorporated. Papers should be formatted according to the DHASA style sheet which is provided on the Journal of the Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa website (https://upjournals.up.ac.za/index.php/dhasa/about). Reviewing is double-blind, so make sure to anonymise your submission (e.g., do not provide author names, affiliations, project names, etc.) Limit the amount of self citations (anonymised citations should not be used). The RAIL workshop follows the DHASA submission requirements. Please submit papers in PDF format (the submission link will be available soon). Accepted papers will be published in proceedings linked to the DHASA conference. Important dates: Submission deadline: 14 July 2025 Date of notification: 16 September 2025 Camera ready copy deadline: 24 October 2025 Workshop: 10 November 2025 DHASA conference: 10 November 2025-14 November 2025 Organising Committee Rooweither Mabuya, South African Centre for Digital Language Resources (SADiLaR), South Africa Muzi Matfunjwa, South African Centre for Digital Language Resources (SADiLaR), South Africa Mmasibidi Setaka, South African Centre for Digital Language Resources (SADiLaR), South Africa Menno van Zaanen, South African Centre for Digital Language Resources (SADiLaR), South Africa -- Prof Menno van Zaanen menno.vanzaanen(a)nwu.ac.za Professor in Digital Humanities South African Centre for Digital Language Resources https://www.sadilar.org ________________________________ NWU PRIVACY STATEMENT: http://www.nwu.ac.za/it/gov-man/disclaimer.html DISCLAIMER: This e-mail message and attachments thereto are intended solely for the recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Second Call for Interest: DISRPT 2025 Shared Task on Discourse Relation Parsing and Treebanking
by Chloé Braud 19 May '25

19 May '25

🚀 Second Call for Interest: DISRPT 2025 Shared Task on Discourse Relation Parsing and Treebanking. 🛎️ sample data has been released! In conjunction with CODI-CRAC & EMNLP 2025 - Suzhou, China, Nov. 5-9. This year, we are organizing the fourth edition of the DISRPT shared task on discourse processing across formalisms, for a variety of languages and genres, with three subtasks: * Task 1: Discourse segmentation * Task 2: Connective identification * Task 3: Relation classification We will provide training, development and test datasets from (almost) all available languages in RST / eRST, SDRT, PDTB, ISO 24617, and discourse dependencies, using a uniform format. Because different corpora, languages, and frameworks use different guidelines, the shared task will promote the design of flexible methods for dealing with various guidelines, and will help to push forward the discussion of converging standards for discourse units. For datasets which have treebanks, we will evaluate segmentation in two different scenarios: with and without gold syntax. An automatically parsed version is provided for all corpora without a gold parse. This year, the shared task will feature: * The inclusion of more frameworks, with datasets from: RST / eRST, SDRT, PDTB, ISO 24617, and discourse dependencies * The inclusion of new corpora and new languages, some of them kept a surprise! * A unified set of labels for the discourse relations, to make easier the evaluation across datasets * A new constraint: only one multilingual model should be submitted per task, and it should be small! This will make our replication work easier, but more importantly, it will simplify using such a model and test the robustness of your solution. Today, we’re excited to announce the release of the sample data for the DISRPT 2025 Shared Task! You can now access the data, format documentation, and tools on our GitHub 🔗 https://github.com/disrpt/sharedtask2025 The sample covers five discourse frameworks — RST / eRST, PDTB, SDRT, and Discourse Dependencies — across 12 languages: English, Basque, French, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Frasi, Chinese, Russian, Turkish, and Thai. We invite researchers and teams interested in participating to register now. Registered participants will be added to our mailing list and receive all future updates. 📅 The full training data will be released on June 16, 2025 — stay tuned!
