Postdoctoral position in Switzerland (USI, Lugano)
by lonneke.vanderplas＠usi.ch 06 Jul '26

06 Jul '26

One fully funded postdoc position in NLP, for two years, renewable for another 2 years at the USI NLP Lab, in Lugano, Switzerland, as part of the SATURNA project. SATURNA (https://www.saturna.ch/) is a large-scale four-year project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. It is an inter-disciplinary collaboration between the University of Bern, EPFL, Idiap Research Institute and the National University of Singapore, with specialists in NLP, graph deep learning, knowledge-enhanced AI, computational biology and translational science. The role of the team at USI is to draw parallels between text sequences and RNA sequences, thereby leveraging advances made in the NLP field to learn informative representations of RNA sequences. Vice versa, handling the intricacies of RNA, such as extremely long-distance dependencies, context-dependency, structure, function etc. sheds new light on assumptions made in NLP models, that will be tested for their applicability on language. The postdoc will work under the scientific supervision of Prof. Lonneke van der Plas (https://usi.to/bkks) and will be offered the possibility to work in a fast-growing, cross-institutional, dynamic research team. The postdoc is expected to collaborate with the PhD students in the USI NLP lab that are working on a wide variety of topics in NLP, both at USI and the EPFL, as well as with the researchers in the SATURNA project, that includes work on interpretability and foundations of transformer-based language models, and benchmarking these. Screening will start on July 13th 2026, but the positions will remain open until filled.

by Lauersdorf, Mark R. 06 Jul '26

06 Jul '26

*** NARNiHS 2027 *** North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics *** Ninth Annual Meeting *** 100% IN PERSON *** Co-Located with the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) Annual Meeting *** San Francisco, California, USA *** 6-9 January 2027 This event offers an opportunity for scholars from all over the world to gather and share leading research in historical sociolinguistic methods of linguistic inquiry; and we invite our fellow historical sociolinguists and scholars in related fields from our global scholarly community to join us in San Francisco for our 9th Annual Meeting. Consult this Call for Abstracts on the web: https://narnihs.org/?page_id=3542 . ---------- Call for Abstracts ----------. Abstract submission online: https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/submit/NARNiHS_2027 Deadline: Monday, 24 August 2026, 11:59 PM US Eastern time. Late abstracts will not be considered. The North American Research Network in Historical Sociolinguistics (NARNiHS) is accepting abstracts for its 9th Annual Meeting. As a Sister Society of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA), NARNiHS will hold its Annual Meeting sessions at the LSA Annual Meeting in San Francisco, Wednesday-Saturday, 6-9 January 2027. The 9th edition of this inclusive NARNiHS event seeks to provide a collaborative environment where presenters bring fully developed work for presentation and enrichment. We see the NARNiHS Annual Meeting as a place for showcasing excellent projects in historical sociolinguistics, seeking feedback from peers, and engaging in productive development of the field's enduring questions. NARNiHS welcomes papers in all areas of historical sociolinguistics, which is understood as the application and/or development of sociolinguistic theories, methods, and models for the study of historical language variation and change over time, or more broadly, the study of the interaction of language and society in historical periods and from historical perspectives. Thus, a wide range of linguistic areas, subdisciplines, methodologies, and adjacent disciplines easily find their place within historical sociolinguistics, and we encourage submission of abstracts that reflect this broad scope. Abstracts will be accepted for both 20-minute papers and posters. Accepted papers will be organized into thematic sessions that will be scheduled throughout the 4 days of the LSA conference; accepted posters will be scheduled together in the LSA poster gallery. Please note that, at NARNiHS events, poster presentations are an integral and equal part of the intellectual exchange (not second-tier presentations). Abstracts will be assigned a paper or a poster presentation based on determinations in the review process about the most effective format for the submission. However, *if you prefer that your submission be considered primarily for poster presentation*, please specify this in your abstract. Successful abstracts will demonstrate *thorough grounding* in historical sociolinguistics, *scientific rigor* in the formulation of research questions, and *promise for rich discussion* of ideas. Successful abstracts will be explicit about which *theoretical frameworks*, *methodological protocols*, and *analytical strategies* are being applied or critiqued. *Data sources and examples* should be sufficiently presented, so as to allow reviewers a full understanding of the scope and claims of the research. Please note that *the connection of your research to the field of historical sociolinguistics* should be explicitly outlined in your abstract. Failure to adhere to these criteria will likely result in rejection of the abstract. *** Abstract Format Guidelines ***. - Abstracts must be submitted in PDF format. - Abstracts must fit on one 8.5x11-inch or A4 page, with margins no smaller than 1 inch (2.54 cm) and a font style and size no smaller than Times New Roman 12 point. You are encouraged to use the entire page to provide a full and robust description of the research. All additional supporting content (visualizations, trees, tables, figures, captions, examples, and references) must fit on a single (1) additional page. No exceptions to these requirements are allowed; abstracts longer than one page or with more than one additional page of supporting content will be rejected without review. - Specify if you prefer your submission be considered primarily for a poster presentation. - Anonymize your abstract. We realize that sometimes complete anonymity is not attainable, but there is a difference between the nature of the research creating an inability to anonymize and careless non-anonymizing (in citations, references, file names, etc.). Be sure to also anonymize your PDF file (you may do so in Adobe Acrobat Reader by clicking on "File", then "Properties", removing your name if it appears in the "Author" line of the "Description" tab, and re-saving the file before submission). Do not use your name as the file name when saving your PDF (e.g. Smith_Abstract.pdf); file names may not be automatically anonymized by the EasyAbs system. Rather, use non-identifying information in your file name (e.g. HistSoc4Lyfe.pdf). Your name should only appear in the online form accompanying your abstract submission. Abstracts that are not sufficiently anonymized wherever possible will be rejected without review. *** General Requirements ***. - Abstracts must be submitted electronically using the following link: https://easyabs.linguistlist.org/submit/NARNiHS_2027 - Authors may submit a maximum of two abstracts: One single-author abstract and one co-authored abstract. - Authors may not submit identical abstracts for presentation in NARNiHS Sessions and at the LSA Annual Meeting or another LSA Sister Society meeting (ADS, ANS, NAHoLS, SCiL, SPCL, or SSILA). - Specify if you prefer your submission be considered primarily for a poster presentation. - After submission, no changes of author, title, or wording of the abstract may occur. If your abstract is accepted, adjustment of typographical errors is permitted before a final version of the abstract is printed in the conference booklet. - Papers and posters must be delivered as projected in the abstract or represent bona fide developments of the same research. - Authors are expected to attend the conference in-person and present their own papers and posters. This will not be a hybrid event. Contact us at NARNiHistSoc(a)gmail.com with any questions.

Call for Participation: Terminology Shared Task @WMT2026
by Kirill Semenov 03 Jul '26

03 Jul '26

[apologies for cross-posting] Terminology Translation Task @WMT2026 �C Call for Participation We are excited to announce the 4th Terminology Translation Shared Task, which will be held as part of the 11th Conference on Machine Translation (WMT 2026), co-located with EMNLP 2026 in Budapest, Hungary. TL;DR * Two tracks on terminology-aware document-level machine translation. * Language pairs: Spanish��Basque, English��Polish, and Traditional Chinese��English across engineering, medicine, and finance domains. * Evaluation metrics: both general MT quality and terminology-oriented metrics. * Task started: 30 June 2026 * System submission deadline: 31 July 2026 (AoE) * Shared task website: https://www2.statmt.org/wmt26/terminology.html * Pre-registration: https://forms.gle/nCHmek9UkdJaraqu9 OVERVIEW Despite remarkable progress in machine translation, accurately translating specialized terminology while maintaining overall translation quality remains a challenging problem. Previous editions of the Terminology Translation Shared Task demonstrated that document-level terminology translation is still substantially more difficult than sentence-level translation, particularly when consistent terminology usage is required throughout a document. This year's edition introduces two major developments. First, we expand the shared task to lower-resource, morphologically rich languages: Basque and Polish. Second, alongside our established terminology-dictionary setting, we introduce a new track in which systems must infer terminology from seed bitexts, providing a more realistic and challenging evaluation scenario. We welcome submissions from both academia and industry and impose no restrictions on models or training resources. IMPORTANT DATES (AoE) * 1 Jul 2026: Test data and submission form released; shared task begins * 31 Jul 2026: System submission deadline * 7 Aug 2026: paper description submission (according to the WMT 2026 schedule) * 28-29 October 2026: WMT 2026 conference SUBMISSION TRACKS Track 1: Document-Level Translation with Explicit Dictionary Participants receive document-level source texts together with terminology dictionaries and evaluate their systems under different terminology conditions. Track 2: Document-Level Translation with Seed Bitexts Instead of explicit terminology dictionaries, participants receive terminology-rich parallel examples ("seed bitexts") and must leverage them to translate related documents. LANGUAGES AND DOMAINS * Spanish �� Basque (Engineering & Technology), * English �� Polish (Engineering & Technology, Medicine), * Traditional Chinese �� English (Finance) EVALUATION Following the previous editions of the shared task, systems will be evaluated under multiple terminology modes to assess the causal effect of the explicit terminology contents: * No terminology * Proper terminology * Random terminology Submissions will be assessed using two complementary groups of metrics: * Overall translation quality, including automatic MT metrics (e.g., BLEU) together with evaluation of grammatical term usage. * Terminology-oriented metrics, including terminology success rate and terminology consistency. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Before submitting, we kindly ask participants to: 1. (Recommended) Pre-register using our Google Form to receive reminders and help us estimate participation. 2. Validate system outputs using the official validation script. 3. Submit translations through the official submission form together with a brief system description. Participants are also encouraged to submit a WMT system description paper following the main conference guidelines. * The participants are allowed to submit systems for one track and/or only subset of the language pairs (however, we encourage you to test your strengths across all language pairs) * Detailed task descriptions, data formats, input/output specifications, and submission instructions are available on the shared task website. ORGANIZERS Nathaniel Berger, Adrian Charkiewicz, Pinzhen Chen, Thierry Etchegoyhen, Harritxu Gete Ugarte, Kamil Guttmann, Xu Huang, David Ponce, Artur Nowakowski, Fr��d��ric Odermatt, Arturo Oncevay, Kirill Semenov, Dawei Zhu, and Vil��m Zouhar.
