CFP: EvaLatin 2026 - The Fourth Evaluation Campaign of NLP tools for Latin * Website: https://circse.github.io/LT4HALA/2026/EvaLatin * Date: Monday, May 11 2026 * Place: co-located with LREC 2026, May 11-16, Palma, Mallorca (Spain) * Submission runs: check task guidelines * Submission technical reports: https://softconf.com/lrec2026/LT4HALA2026/ * DESCRIPTION EvaLatin 2026 is the fourth evaluation campaign of NLP tools for Latin. The campaign is designed with the aim of promoting the development of resources and language technologies for the Latin language, and foster collaboration among scholars working on Latin, as well as attracting researchers from different disciplines. EvaLatin 2026 edition focusses on 2 tasks: * Dependency Parsing; * Named Entity Recognition (NER). The dependency parsing task is based on the Universal Dependencies<https://universaldependencies.org/> (UD) framework. No specific training set is released but participants are free to make use of any (kind of) data/resource they consider useful for the task, including the Latin treebanks already available in the UD collection. In this regard, one of the challenges of this task is to understand which treebank (or combination of treebanks) is the most suitable to deal with new test data. Test data will be distributed in the CoNLL-U format with gold tokenization, lemmatization, part-of-speech tagging and morphological annotation. For more details, see the guidelines at the specific section of EvaLatin<https://circse.github.io/LT4HALA/2026/EvaLatin> webpage. In the NER task, participants are required to develop systems capable of automatically identifying and classifying proper names in provided Classical Latin texts. The goal is to detect the span of the mention and assign it to a pre-defined category. A small sample set (plain text HIPE IOB format) will be made available in advance, together with the guidelines. Test data will be distributed in the same HIPE IOB format with the values for the NER predictions obscured. For more details, see the guidelines at the specific section of EvaLatin<https://circse.github.io/LT4HALA/2026/EvaLatin> webpage. * SUBMISSIONS Participants are required to submit their runs using specific email addresses (see the guidelines for each task) and to provide a technical report that should include a brief description of their approach, focusing on the adopted algorithms, models and resources, a summary of their experiments, and an analysis of the obtained results. Technical reports will be included in the proceedings as short papers: the maximum length is 4 pages (excluding references) and they should follow the LREC 2026 official format). Reports will receive a light review (we will check for the correctness of the format, the exactness of results and ranking, and overall exposition). Reports should be submitted using the START submission page of the workshop (https://softconf.com/lrec2026/LT4HALA2026/ ). Reports of the shared tasks are not anonymous. All participants will have the opportunity to present their results at the workshop, as an oral or poster presentation. Participants are allowed to use any approach (e.g. from traditional machine learning algorithms to Large Language Models) and any resource (annotated and non-annotated data, embeddings): all approaches and resources are expected to be described in the systems’ reports. Technical reports should follow the LREC stylesheet, which is available on the LREC 2026 website on the Author’s kit page<https://lrec2026.info/authors-kit/>. * WORKSHOP IMPORTANT DATES * 22 December 2025: guidelines available * Evaluation Window I - Task: Dependency Parsing * 3 February 2026: test data available * 10 February 2026: system results due to organizers * Evaluation Window II - Task: Named Entity Recognition * 12 February 2026: test data available * 19 February 2026: system results due to organizers * 10 March 2026: reports due to organizers * 20 March 2026: short report review deadline * 27 March 2026: camera ready version of reports due to organizers (strict deadline) Best Regards, Federica Iurescia (on behalf of the organizing committee) Federica Iurescia Postdoctoral Researcher LiLa: Linking Latin https://lila-erc.eu/#page-top CIRCSE Research Centre https://centridiricerca.unicatt.it/circse_index.html Facoltà di Scienze Linguistiche e Letterature Straniere Franciscanum Building, 2nd Floor, room 219 Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore Largo Gemelli 1, 20123 Milan, Italy [http://static.unicatt.it/ext-portale/5xmille_firma_mail_2023.jpg] <https://www.unicatt.it/uc/5xmille>

Important Dates for EvaHan 2026: Registration deadline: January 30, 2026 Training data release: January 1, 2026 Test data release: February 1, 2026 Running results submission: February 6, 2026 Technical report submission deadline: February 28, 2026 Notification of acceptance: March 1, 2026 Camera-ready papers due: March 10, 2026 Participation To participate in EvaHan 2026, you must complete the following steps: Registration: Submit a registration form to officially register your team for the task. Registration is open from December 1, 2025, to January 30, 2026. Only registered participants will gain access to the training dataset. Accessing the Training Data: After completing the registration process, participants will receive instructions for downloading the training dataset, which includes image--text pairs from ancient Chinese texts for OCR. Submitting Results and Reports: Participants must use the provided test data to generate results and submit their system outputs and a technical report as per the shared task schedule. For inquiries or to request the registration form, please contact us at evahan2026(a)gmail.com. Data The Evahan 2026 dataset comprises three datasets, covering image-text pairs: plain text images, mixed image-text images, and handwritten images-text. The data underwent initial automatic annotation, followed by meticulous correction and refinement by experts in classical Chinese language and history to ensure the highest quality of the training materials and gold-standard texts. ● Dataset A （ Printed Texts） consists of data selected from the Siku Quanshu (Complete Library of the Four Treasuries), including classics, history, philosophy, and literature, as well as various other ancient books. ● Dataset B （Mixed Layouts） contains mixed image-text data selected from the Siku Quanshu and other ancient books. ● Dataset C （Handwritten Texts） includes handwritten ancient books, primarily the Chinese Buddhist canon, including the Chinese Buddhist canon (TKH) dataset, and the Chinese Buddhist canon (MTH) dataset. Training Data The training set consists of designated portions of subsets A, B, and C. All training samples are provided in image-text pair format, with text in Traditional Chinese (UTF-8), approximately 5000-10000 image-text pairs per subset. Registered participants will receive the training data via email. Test Data The test set includes the remaining unseen portions of subsets A, B, and C to ensure comprehensive evaluation of all three challenge types. The data is also provided in image-text pair format, approximately 200-500 image-text pairs per subset. Detailed information and a download link for the test data will be provided to participants before the start of the formal evaluation period. Task This section offers a detailed description of the tasks encompassed in EvaHan 2026. OCR In many Chinese language processing systems,OCR is a critical task, often performed in parallel with other processing functions. The accuracy and speed of OCR directly determine the overall system's performance and user experience in downstream applications such as document digitization, information extraction, and intelligent retrieval. Evaluation Metrics Each team will only have access to the training data. Later, unlabeled test data will also be released. After the evaluation is complete, the labels for the test data will also be released. Tables 2,3 and 4 provide examples of the scorer output. The evaluation will align the system-generated text with the gold standard. Next, OCR will be evaluated: precision, recall, and F1 score will be calculated. BLEU ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2, and ROUGE-L will also be evaluated, bringing the competition's evaluation to multiple metrics. This evaluation adds layout analysis metrics: mAP and IoU. T he team's final ranking will be based on the overall score. The final ranking of teams will be based on the combined scores. Two Modalities Each participant can submit results for both modes. In the closed mode, each team has limited resources. Each team can only use training data and a pre-trained model. This model is a word embedding pre-trained on a large Traditional Chinese corpus. No other resources are allowed in the closed mode. In the open mode, there are no restrictions on resources, data, or models. Annotated external data, such as processed images or text, may be used. However, each team must disclose all resources, data, and models used in each system in the final report. How to Participate Registration time is mentioned above. Participants will be required to submit their runs and to provide a technical report for the task they participated in. Submitting Runs Each team can submit runs for two tasks. A run should be produced according to the closed modality. The second run will be produced according to the open modality. The closed run is compulsory, while the open run is optional. Once the system has produced the results for the task over the test set, participants have to follow these instructions to complete their submission: The annotated results should be submitted as three plain text files encoded in UTF-8 (four-byte encoding). The specific submission format will be released along with the pre-trained dataset.

20 Dec '25

*To be held at EACL 2026 (March 24-29 in Rabat, Morocco)* *Workshop description* The 8th SIGTYP Workshop aims to provide a forum for bridging linguistic typology, multilingual NLP, and adjacent areas to develop truly multilingual NLP methods. The workshop raises awareness of linguistic typology and its potential to broaden the global reach of multilingual NLP and introduces computational approaches to typology. We welcome open problems and discussion, inviting contributions from researchers in multilingual/cross-lingual NLP and leading scholars in linguistic typology. In 2026, we place a special emphasis on the utility of LLMs for typological research. *SIGTYP is the first dedicated venue for typology-related research and its integration in multilingual NLP. Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to):* - *Integration of typological features in language transfer and joint multilingual learning. *Beyond techniques such as “selective sharing,” what other ways can we encode heterogeneous external knowledge in ML algorithms? - *Development of unified taxonomy and resources. *Building universal databases/models to support the understanding and processing of diverse languages. - *Automatic inference of typological features. *Pros/cons of existing techniques (e.g., heuristics from morphosyntactic annotation, propagation from related languages, supervised Bayesian/neural models) and emerging approaches. - *Typology and interpretability. *Using typological knowledge to interpret hidden representations of multilingual models, guide multilingual data generation/selection, and annotate texts. - *Improvement and completion of typological databases. *Combining linguistic expertise with data-driven methods to advance knowledge of cross-linguistic variation and universals. - *Linguistic diversity and universals; cross-lingual annotation. *Which phenomena/categories should be considered universal? How should they be annotated? - *Using LLMs for typological studies. *Can LLMs help formulate/test typological hypotheses? Can they make valid cross-linguistic generalisations? - - *Additional topics include* constructed language generation, universals in diachronic language change, information-theoretic approaches to typology, and automated approaches to etymology. *Important Dates (23:59 AoE)* - *Direct submission deadline: December 26, 2025* - *Pre-reviewed (ARR) submission deadline: January 2, 2026* - *Notification of acceptance: January 23, 2026* - *Camera-ready deadline: February 3, 2026* - *Workshop date: During EACL 2026 (March 24–29, 2026; exact day TBA)* *Submissions* We invite extended *abstract submissions (non-archival) *and *general paper submissions (archival)*. The accepted submissions will be presented at the workshop, providing new insights and ideas. Extended abstracts should describe already published work or work in progress and should *not exceed two (2) pages*.

Dear colleagues, Apologies for the omission in our previous announcement. Here are the relevant key links: FR-MIGR-TWIT Corpus 2.0 (Zenodo): https://zenodo.org/records/17828433 OLiNDiNUM — Linguistic Observatory of Online/Digital Debate: https://olindinum.huma-num.fr/en/research/research-projects/ FR-MIGR-TWIT Corpus 1.0 (Zenodo): https://zenodo.org/records/17652658 ____________________________________________________________________ We are pleased to announce the release of the FR-MIGR-TWIT Corpus 2.0: https://zenodo.org/records/17828433 The MIGR-TWIT Corpus is a multilingual corpus of tweets developed within the framework of OLiNDiNUM — the Linguistic Observatory of Online Debate. With the aim of documenting and analyzing online public discourse on (im)migration in contemporary European politics, this corpus makes it possible to observe diachronic evolution over the past decade (2011–2022) and linguistic variation across the political spectrum and in two national contexts: France and the UK. The corpus has previously been published through the following modules: • Tweets of right and far-right politics in Europe (Battaglia, Blandino, Jeon & Pietrandrea, 2022) https://zenodo.org/records/7347479 o UK-R-MIGR-RA-TWIT-2012-2022 o FR-R-MIGR-TWIT-2011-2022 • Tweets of French left-wing politics (Pietrandrea & Jeon, 2023) https://zenodo.org/records/7871602 o FR-L-MIGR-TWIT-2011-2022 Taken together, the published corpora have attracted research interest from, among others, corpus linguistics, discourse studies, and communication and information sciences, reaching more than 2K downloads on Zenodo by 2025. Compiled from the FR-R and FR-L modules, the FR-MIGR-TWIT Corpus comprises 17,395 tweets posted by 39 French political figures and parties (16 right-wing and 23 left-wing) between 2011 and 2022. Tweets containing migr- derivatives were retrieved via the Twitter API v2 Academic Research, and truncated retweets (>140 characters) were restored through targeted verification. This second version provides multilayer linguistic annotations of all occurrences of forms derived from the Latin root migr-. The FR-MIGR-TWIT Corpus 2.0 offers: • multilayer linguistic annotations associated with each occurrence of a migr- derivative (MIGR-LEXICON), including semantic roles (ROLE_SEM), syntactic functions (FUNC_SYN), lemmatised forms (LEMMA), as well as features and collocational items related to modification (MODIFICATION, LEMMA_MODIF_*, LEMMA_NOUN-1) and list/parallelism constructions (LIST_PAR, LENGTH-1, #forme#_MIGR-LIST_PAR) (Non-exhaustive list); • tweet URLs (tweet_url) and 44 types of data retrieved through the Full Archive Search endpoints of the Twitter API v2, such as the textual content of tweets, posting date, user ID, number of retweets, likes, replies, and quotes. (Non-exhaustive list) The corpus is available in CSV and TEI-XML formats, with TEI files providing the text layer and CSV files providing stand-off linguistic annotations. Following FR-MIGR-TWIT Corpus 1.0 (Jeon, Battaglia & Pietrandrea), FR-MIGR-TWIT Corpus 2.0 (https://zenodo.org/records/17828433) was developed by Sangwan Jeon (Université de Lille) and Paola Pietrandrea (Université de Lille, IUF). Changelog version 2.0 (© 2025 Jeon & Pietrandrea) – Added multilayer linguistic annotations – Corrected delimiter-related errors – Added TEI-XML format – Added a basic Python query script – Added README.md The creation of the corpus and the inter-annotator agreement process were funded by Université de Lille, Campus France, and the Institut Universitaire de France. The corpus is accessible through Zenodo and is scheduled to be archived in Ortolang. Best regards, Sangwan Jeon (University of Lille) Paola Pietrandrea (University of Lille, Institut Universitaire de France)

19 Dec '25

*LLMs4SSH: Shaping Multilingual, Multimodal AI for the Social Sciences and Humanities* Workshop at LREC 2026 – 11 May 2026 📍 Location: LREC 2026, Mallorca, Spain 🗓 Date: 11 May 2026 🌐 Website: https://sites.google.com/view/llms4ssh-lrec2026/home ------------------------------ Description Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly advancing in terms of multilinguality, multimodality, reasoning, and agentic capabilities. While these developments have transformed language and data processing, their potential remains insufficiently aligned with the specific research needs, methodologies, and epistemic values of the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH). The LLMs4SSH workshop aims to bridge the gap between Language Technologies (LT) and SSH, bringing together researchers from AI, NLP, Digital Humanities, linguistics, social sciences, cultural heritage, and related fields. The workshop will provide a forum to explore how multilingual, multimodal, and reasoning-oriented LLMs can support SSH research tasks, while critically examining their methodological, ethical, and societal implications. ------------------------------ Topics We invite submissions on topics including, but not limited to: Multilinguality and Cultural Diversity - Multilingual LLMs for low-resource and underrepresented languages - Cross-lingual transfer and cultural adaptation - Bias, fairness, and inclusivity - Translation, code-switching, and cross-cultural communication Multimodality in SSH Research - Integration of text, image, audio, and speech modalities - LLMs for multimodal archives, museum collections, and heritage data - Generative and interpretive multimodal applications in humanities research Reasoning and Agentic LLMs - Reasoning and interpretive capacities for SSH tasks (e.g. argumentation, causality, hermeneutics) - Agentic LLMs as autonomous or collaborative research assistants - Tool use, planning, and hypothesis generation - Epistemological and ethical implications of reasoning and agency Methodologies and Evaluation - SSH-oriented datasets, benchmarks, and evaluation metrics - Explainability, transparency, and reproducibility - Human–AI co-creation and qualitative evaluation methods - Comparative studies across languages, domains, and modalities Applications in SSH Domains - Digital humanities and cultural analytics - Political science, sociology, and media studies - History, philosophy, law, psychology, education, and ethics FAIR, Ethics, and Governance - Responsible and participatory design of LLMs - Ethical challenges in data use, authorship, and accountability - Policy frameworks for open and inclusive AI infrastructures Interdisciplinary Collaboration and Infrastructure - Co-design of tools and workflows between LT and SSH - Integration of LLMs into research infrastructures and curricula - Open science initiatives and community building ------------------------------ Submission Types We welcome: - Short research papers - Position papers - Case studies - Posters and demos ------------------------------ Submission Information Submissions must be made electronically through the START Conference Manager (Softconf) system: 🔗 Submission site: https://softconf.com/lrec2026/LLMs4SSH All submissions should follow the official LREC 2026 workshop guidelines regarding format, length, and anonymity.
