30 Jun '25

Call for Papers: Historical Languages and AI See the online version at https://daidalos-projekt.de/conference/cfp/ . March 5-6, 2026 The intersection of historical languages and artificial intelligence (AI) presents a rich and dynamic field of study, with the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the past and the ways in which we engage with historical texts. As digital technologies continue to advance, the need for interdisciplinary collaboration becomes increasingly apparent. The upcoming 2-day international conference on “Historical Languages and AI” aims to foster this collaboration by bringing together experts from computational literary studies, digital history, linguistics, and other domains that work with historical languages such as Latin. The conference seeks to address the growing demand for innovative methods and tools that can enhance the analysis, preservation, and interpretation of historical languages. By leveraging AI technologies, researchers can unlock new insights into historical texts, improve the accuracy of translations, and develop more effective teaching methods for historical languages. The conference will provide a platform for scholars to share their latest findings, discuss emerging trends, and explore the practical applications of AI in historical language research. It explicitly includes historical stages of modern languages, such as Old English or Early New High German. The conference is hosted by the Daidalos research project (Humboldt University Berlin, 2023-2026; https://daidalos-projekt.de ). The project is building a research infrastructure for methods of natural language processing (NLP). The target group is literary scholars in classical philology and related disciplines. The research infrastructure consists, on the one hand, of an interactive website on which interested parties can apply NLP methods to text corpora. On the other hand, the Daidalos project sees itself as a contact point for interested researchers. In this function, the project regularly invites researchers to workshops (https://daidalos-projekt.de/workshops), advises them within the framework of research tandems (https://daidalos-projekt.de/tandems), and provides materials for further training (https://daidalos-projekt.de/jupyterlite). Conference Dates: March 5-6, 2026 Venue: Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin (Berlin, Germany) Unfortunately, we cannot offer travel bursaries. Attending the conference itself is free of charge. Topics of Interest We welcome submissions on a wide range of topics related to historical languages and AI, including but not limited to: Machine Learning Large Language Models / Large Action Models Usage for data modeling or corpus construction Challenges in low-resource scenarios Neural machine translation for historical texts Innovative approaches to historical language analysis Linguistic analysis for literary studies Part-of-speech tagging Topic modeling Sentiment analysis Named entity recognition Word embeddings Multilingual Information Retrieval, incl. cross-lingual embeddings Evaluation of AI-driven methods and datasets Frameworks for mapping research questions to relevant AI models and methods Assessment of AI tools in historical language studies Technical Infrastructure for Research & Teaching Integrating technologies like Jupyter Notebooks into larger software platforms Retrieval-augmented generation for domain-specific chatbots Teaching & Learning Digital Literacies, incl. open educational resources for teaching natural language processing Important Dates Submission Deadline: September 1, 2025 Notification of Acceptance: October 15, 2025 Camera-Ready Submission: January 31, 2026 Conference Dates: March 5-6, 2026 Submission types Included in the open-access proceedings: *Long papers*: up to 4000 words (ca. 8 pages, excl. bibliography and appendix).

[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). Short papers should not exceed 4 pages (plus unlimited number of pages for references and ethics/broader impact statement). All submissions should be prepared using the current ACL templates (see https://ranlp.org/ranlp2025/index.php/submissions/).

Submission deadline Extended (30th of June 2025): Second International Workshop on Construction Grammars and NLP (CxGs+NLP 2025)
by claire.n.bonial.civ＠army.mil 25 Jun '25

25 Jun '25

We have had several requests to extend the submission deadline and we have decided to extend the deadline to the 30th of June 2025. Submission Link: https://openreview.net/group?id=IWCS/2025/Workshop/CxGs_NLP Please see details below: We’re thrilled to see such strong interest in the second iteration of the CxG + NLP workshop, which will be held as part of IWCS. With three exciting keynote speakers confirmed (Prof Adele Goldberg, Prof Thomas Hoffmann, Prof Laura A. Michaelis), we’re looking forward to what promises to be a very engaging event. The first workshop took place shortly after the release of ChatGPT. Now, two years on, the field has evolved dramatically with the rise of generative AI and the development of new large language models (LLMs). These developments make it all the more important to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss the evolving landscape of CxG and NLP. In addition, in the time since the first workshop, there has been significant growth in the community’s interest at this intersection, and we believe it is the ideal moment to have a second iteration where we take stock of these recent developments. We warmly invite your submissions to the workshop, and would like to remind you of the key dates: 30th of June 2025 (Extended) – Submission deadline August 1 – Notification of acceptance, registration opens August 22 – Camera-ready papers due September 22–23 – IWCS main conference September 24 – Workshop September 25 – Community-building event For more details, please visit the workshop website or get in touch with us: https://sites.google.com/view/2ndcxgsnlpworkshop/home
