MentalRiskES2025 describes the third edition of a novel task on early risk
identification of mental disorders in Spanish comments from social media
sources. The first and the second editions took place in the IberLEF
evaluation forum as part of the SEPLN 2023 and SEPLN 2024. The task was
resolved as an online problem, that is, the participants had to detect a
potential risk as early as possible in a continuous stream of data.
Therefore, the performance not only depended on the accuracy of the systems
but also on how fast the problem is detected. These dynamics are reflected
in the design of the tasks and the metrics used to evaluate participants. For
this third edition, we propose two novel tasks, the first subtask is about
the detection of the gambling disorder and the second subtask consists of
detecting a type of Addiction.
We would like to invite you to participate in the following tasks:
1. Risk Detection of Gambling Disorders (Binary classification)
2. Type of Addiction Detection (Multiclass classification)
Find out more at https://sites.google.com/view/mentalriskes2025.
MentalRiskES 2025 is part of the IberLEF Workshop and will be held in
conjunction with the SEPLN 2025 conference in Zaragoza (Spain).

The 16th International Conference on Computational Creativity (ICCC'25)
June 23-27, 2025 — Campinas, Brazil
Call for papers: full regular papers
http://computationalcreativity.net/iccc25/full-papers/
Please distribute
(Apologies for cross-posting)
------------------------------------------------
Computational Creativity (CC) is a discipline with its roots in scientific
disciplines such as Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science,
Engineering, Design, Psychology and Philosophy that each explores the
potential for computers to be creative – either in partnership with humans
or as autonomous creators in their own right.
ICCC is an annual conference that welcomes papers on different aspects of
CC, on systems that exhibit varying degrees of creative autonomy, on
systems that act as creative partners for human creators, on frameworks
that offer greater clarity or computational felicity for thinking about
machine (and human) creativity, on methodologies for building or evaluating
CC systems, on approaches to teaching CC in schools and universities or to
promoting societal uptake of CC as a field and as a technology, and so on.
*** Themes and Topics ***
Original research contributions are solicited in all areas related to
Computational Creativity research and practice, including, but not limited
to:
— Applications of Computational Creativity
— Human-Machine Co-Creativity
— Computational Creativity Evaluation
— Social Models
— Computational Paradigms
— Interdisciplinary Perspectives
— Data and Creativity
— Societal Impact
— Psychological Factors
— Provocations
A note on generative AI models: while the study of generative AI models is
both welcomed and encouraged, such models and their application must be
properly situated in the CC literature and evaluated according to
acceptable practices in the field. Papers that fail to do this are
unlikely to be reviewed favorably.
*** Paper Types ***
We welcome the submission of five different types of papers:
— Technical papers
— System or Resource description papers
— Study papers
— Cultural application papers
— Position papers
*** Important Dates ***
Abstracts due: February 14, 2025 –> February 21, 2025
Submissions due: February 21, 2025 –> February 21, 2025
Acceptance notification: April 11, 2025
Camera-ready copies due: May 2, 2025
Conference: June 23-27, 2025
All deadlines given are 23:59 anywhere on Earth time.
*** Submission instructions ***
This year the submission process has two stages: initial submission of a
title and abstract, and subsequent submission of the full paper a week
later.
- Recommended length for the abstract is 100–200 words.
- The full paper page limit is 8 pages + up to 2 pages of references.
- Papers will be reviewed in a double-blind fashion, which necessitates
that authors take appropriate steps to remain anonymous.

double-blind review. Remove all references to your home institution(s),
refer to your past work in the third person, etc.
- To be considered, papers must be submitted as a PDF document formatted
according to ICCC style (which is similar to AAAI and IJCAI formats). You
can download the updated ICCC’25 LaTeX template [here
<https://computationalcreativity.net/ICCC-author-kit-2022.zip>] and Word
template [here
<https://computationalcreativity.net/ICCC-author-kit-Word.zip>].
- Abstracts are to be submitted one week before the full paper deadline.
Submit your abstract via the EasyChair system [here
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iccc202501>]. You are required
to fill out author(s) information, a title, abstract and keywords.
- Submit your full paper by updating the EasyChair Abstract with your
manuscript file. Abstract submissions that do not contain a manuscript will
be automatically rejected at the beginning of the review time.
- Papers must be submitted through the EasyChair platform:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iccc202501
- Double submissions policy: Work submitted to ICCC should not be under
review in another scientific conference or journal at the time of
submission.

Dear list members,
I'm delighted to announce that a new publication in the Cambridge Elements in Corpus Linguistics is now available. It is FREE online until 27th February 2025.
Title: Lexical Multidimensional Analysis
Authors: Tony Berber Sardinha and Shannon Fitzsimmons-Doolan
Lexical Multidimensional Analysis is an extension of Biber's Multidimensional Analysis that identifies dimensions based on patterns of lexical co-occurrence and variation. LMDA has been applied to domains including education policy, national representations, applied linguistics, music, the infodemic, religion, sustainability, and literary style. The Element introduces LMDA, offering insights into how lexis marks discourse formations and ideological alignments. Two case studies demonstrate the application of LMDA: discourses on climate change, and discourse on migrant education.

Call for paper: *BriGap-2, Bridges and Gaps between Formal and
Computational Linguistics* (an IWCS 2025 workshop)
(with our apologies for cross-posting)
Venue: IWCS 2025 (https://iwcs2025.github.io/), Düsseldorf, Germany
Date: *September 24th, 2025* (main conference: 22nd-23rd)
Workshop website: https://brigap-workshop.github.io/
BriGap-2 is a venue for linguists and NLP scientists to meet: what fruitful
interactions can we have? How do we build upon each other’s work?
* Description *
In recent years, the natural language processing (NLP) community has
shifted its focus towards engineering questions. This state of affairs is
in no small part due to the recent technical advances that have transformed
NLP as a field. In the current large language model (LLM) era, much of what
was deemed near impossible to achieve a few years prior is now taken for
granted and it stands to reason that mapping how far ahead new
computational models have advanced the field has become a central topic for
the NLP community. Hence, the current ongoing discourse in NLP focuses more
on what can be achieved through language rather than studying language for
its own sake. It seems thus that computational and formal linguistics are
now separate domains, and that the former is no longer rooted in the latter.
To what extent are these traditions truly divorced, and what fruitful
bridges can be (re)built? To answer these questions, the second iteration
of the workshop on Bridges and Gaps between Formal and Computational
Linguistics (BriGap-2) intends to provide a space for formal linguists,
computational linguists, and NLP scientists to exchange their perspectives
on how their different domains of research can build upon one another.
* Workshop topics *
- investigation of the linguistic properties of machine learning models,
- linguistic representations, vector space semantics, and their relations
with theoretical concepts such as compositionality,
- use of information-theoretical and computational methods for linguistic
inquiry,
- formal distributional semantics and neural-symbolic integration for NLP,
- formal grammars, symbolic structures and their applications for
computational linguistics and NLP,
- trends in the history of computational linguistics and NLP,
- …
* Invited speakers *
- Anna ROGERS, IT University of Copenhagen
- Kees VAN DEEMTER, Universiteit Utrecht
* Submission details *
The workshop accepts both archival (original and unpublished research) and
non-archival (work-in-progress, dissemination of research published or
accepted elsewhere, etc.) submissions in either short (up to 4 pages) or
long (up to 8 pages) format. Camera-ready versions of papers will be given
one additional page of content so that reviewers’ comments can be taken
into account.
Each submission should mention whether it targets archival or non-archival
status. Archival papers accepted at BriGap-2 will be indexed in the ACL
Anthology.
Please use the ACL style templates available here:
https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files
The submissions need to be done in PDF format via OpenReview, using the
following link: https://openreview.net/group?id=IWCS/2025/Workshop/BriGap-2
* Important dates *
- Submission deadline:* Friday, June 6th 2025*
