From: AdabEval 2026 Organizing Team
by Sharefah A. Al Ghamdi 14 Dec '25

14 Dec '25

Dear all We’re excited to invite you to take part in AdabEval 2026, a shared task on politeness classification in Arabic social media posts, hosted at OSACT7 and co-located with LREC 2026. The website for the shared task is: https://sites.google.com/view/adabeval2026/home Description: Participants will develop systems to perform one of the following two subtasks, which investigate politeness in Arabic social media posts: Politeness Classification (Subtask A): This subtask focuses on building and evaluating models that automatically assess the politeness level of Arabic social-media posts. Given a post’s text, participants must classify it into one of three categories: Polite, Neutral, or Impolite. Systems will be compared using accuracy as well as macro-averaged precision, recall, and F1-score on the test data. Subtask A Summary - Input: Arabic post - Output: One of 3 predefined category labels (polite, neutral or impolite) - Metric: Accuracy, macro-averaged precision, recall, and F1-score Category Prediction (Subtask B): In this subtask, the objective is to assess systems’ ability to identify multiple pragmatic functions in Arabic social-media posts. Each text may express one or more categories drawn from nine culturally grounded functions, including criticism, insult, respect, prayer, greeting, and hospitality. The task is formulated as a multi-label classification problem, requiring systems to predict all applicable categories for each instance. The official evaluation metric is the macro-averaged F1 score computed across the nine categories. Subtask B Summary - Input: Arabic post - Output: All applicable categories for each instance. - Metric:Macro-averaged F1-score Dataset Information: The dataset is an annotated corpus of Arabic social‑media posts. Each record contains an identifier, raw text, a primary label (polite, neutral or impolite), and up to three category-keyword pairs. Categories capture pragmatic functions such as Criticism, Insult, Disparagement, Prayers, Greetings, Admiration, Respect, Felicitation and Hospitality & generosity. Keywords highlight words or phrases that motivated the annotation. EXAMPLE 1: --------------- Sentence: مبدعون ومميزين بطرحكم وضيوفكم. جزاكم الله خير الجزاء Source: YouTube Label: Polite Criteria 1: Appreciation & Love (الإعجاب والحب) — Keywords: مبدعون، مميزين Criteria 2: Thanks & Gratitude (الشكر والامتنان) — Keywords: جزاكم الله خير الجزاء EXAMPLE 2: --------------- Sentence: من كان بتخيل دكتور معتز ومقالاته قبل ثوره ٢٥ يناير يتحول لحذاء في أيدي العسكر ويصبح مجرد دلدول ويتبع اُسلوب منحط ووضيع كده Source: Tweet Label: Impolite Criteria 1: Insult (شتيمة) — Keywords: منحط، وضيع How to Participate? 1. Registration is required, please complete the registration form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSezmjuMBJBi6KHxk6hdEF5JQwX8w3TwdXq…>. 2.

***Apologies for possible cross-posting *** This is the second Call for Papers for the 6th International Workshop on Computational Approaches to Historical Language Change (LChange’26). Most important news: - Direct paper submission deadline extended to December 28, 2025, AoE - Direct submissions should be made via OpenReview: https://openreview.net/group?id=eacl.org/EACL/2026/Workshop/LChange Note: We have chosen to extended the deadline with the maximum amount of time, while still being able to meet the deadlines set by the EACL. As organizers, we regretfully recognize that this falls into holiday season. We wish you all a relaxing holiday season and do not encourage working holidays. ================== The workshop will be co-located with EACL 2026, Rabat, Morocco & Online Dates: March 24–29, 2026 📌 Website: https://www.changeiskey.org/event/2026-eacl-lchange/ 📧 Contact: lchange(a)changeiskey.org == About the Workshop == The LChange workshop brings together researchers interested in computational modeling of language change — both historical and synchronic. Following the success of LChange in 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, this sixth edition will be held as a hybrid half-day workshop at EACL 2026 conference in Rabat. We welcome contributions addressing all aspects of computational approaches to language change. Our goal is to foster dialogue on state-of-the-art computational methodologies, resources, and theories that explore the dynamic, time-varying nature of language. In addition to paper presentations and keynotes, we offer a mentorship program for students to engage with experienced researchers, regardless of whether they are submitting a paper or not. == Important Dates == Direct Submission deadline: December 28, 2025 Pre-reviewed (ARR) submission deadline: January 2, 2026 Notification of acceptance: January 23, 2026 Camera-ready paper due: February 3, 2026 Workshop itself: March 28, 2026 == Submission Information == URL for submissions: https://openreview.net/group?id=eacl.org/EACL/2026/Workshop/LChange We accept the following types of submissions: - Long papers: up to 8 pages (+ references) - Short papers: up to 4 pages (+ references). Dataset and model release papers should be submitted as short papers. Final versions will be given one additional page of content so that reviewers' comments can be taken into account. == Review Process == Papers must be submitted anonymously. All submissions will undergo double-blind peer review by at least three reviewers, with final acceptance decisions made by the workshop organizers. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and presented orally or as posters. Call for reviewers: If you have published in the field previously and are interested in helping out in the program committee to review papers, please email us at lchange(a)changeiskey.org! == Topics of Interest == We invite original research papers on (but not limited to): - Novel methods for detecting diachronic semantic change and lexical replacement - Automatic discovery and quantitative evaluation of laws of language change - Computational theories and generative models of language change - Sense-aware (semantic) change analysis - Diachronic word sense disambiguation - Novel methods for diachronic analysis of low-resource languages - Novel methods for diachronic linguistic data visualization - Novel applications and implications of language change detection - Quantification of sociocultural influences on language change - Cross-linguistic, phylogenetic, and developmental approaches to language change - Novel datasets for cross-linguistic and diachronic analyses of language == Organizers == Nina Tahmasebi, University of Gothenburg Pierluigi Cassotti, University of Gothenburg Syrielle Montariol, UC Berkeley, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne Andrey Kutuzov, University of Oslo Netta Huebscher, University of Gothenburg Elena Spaziani, Sapienza University of Rome Naomi Baes, University of Melbourne -- Andrey Language Technology Group (LTG) University of Oslo
