second CFP: The First Workshop on Integrating NLP and Psychology to Study Social Interactions (NLPSI)
by Neele Falk 20 Mar '25

20 Mar '25

***SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS: The First Workshop on Integrating NLP and Psychology to Study Social Interactions (NLPSI) *** NLPSI will be co-located with the International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media (ICWSM’25) and will take place in person on Monday 23 June 2025. ** Background and Scope ** Recent advances in natural language processing (NLP) have enabled not only the modeling of syntax and semantics but also the analysis of higher-level aspects of human communication—such as pragmatics, social dynamics, and emotional expression. Building on these advances, we can now address foundational questions that remain relatively unexplored in NLP: What are the core psychological processes that shape human behavior and communication? What factors influence how individuals perceive, process, and produce language, and how do these processes impact communication? Psychology can offer valuable insights into these questions, as it has been studying human behavior, perception and communication for years. At the same time, NLP enables us to go beyond controlled, small-scale experiments and conduct large-scale studies to better explore certain theories and research questions in psychology. NLPSI workshop seeks to bridge the two disciplines with a primary focus on NLP research that is grounded in psychological theories. This is an interdisciplinary workshop, and we invite researchers from NLP, Social Psychology, Communication Sciences, Affective Computing, and related fields to submit their work. We welcome submissions on topics including, but not restricted to, the following: - Psychological constructs (e.g., beliefs, motives, feelings, affect, personality). - Psychological studies, especially those focused on interaction. - Language and social identities, including ethnicity and group affiliation. - Communication patterns such as empathy, persuasion, and conflict resolution - Role of emotions in interpersonal communication, including phenomena like emotion contagion and interpersonal emotion regulation. - LLMs in experimental, interactional studies. - Cross-cultural variations in communication and behavior. ** Submission Types ** - Long papers (5 to 8 pages) that present original research, from preliminary findings to established contributions, including theory, experiments, or applications. - Short papers (up to 4 pages) that introduce emerging ideas, work in progress, or early-stage research with clear significance. - Extended Abstracts (up to 2 pages)that present ongoing work, position papers, previously published work, or research projects. Abstracts can be submitted either for inclusion in the proceedings (archival) or as non-archival contributions. ** Format ** All papers must follow the AAAI two-column, camera-ready style, for US Letter (8.5" x 11") paper, using Type 1 or TrueType fonts (available templates: AAAI 2025 Author Kit on Overleaf or AAAI 2025 Author Kit.zip [Word | LaTeX]). The review process will be double-blind. Please anonymize your papers by removing identifying information such as author names, affiliations, and funding details. ** Important Dates ** Paper submission deadline: March 21, 2025 Notification of acceptance: April 30, 2025 Camera ready: May 26, 2025 NLPSI Workshop day: June 23rd, 2025 Note: All deadlines are 11:59 pm UTC -12h (anywhere on earth). ** Organizers ** Aswathy Velutharambath, University of Bamberg Sofie Labat, Ghent University Neele Falk, University of Stuttgart Flor Miriam Plaza-del-Arco, Bocconi University Roman Klinger, University of Bamberg Véronique Hoste, Ghent University ** Website and Contact ** For further information and updates, visit the NLPSI website: nlpsi-workshop.github.io If you have any questions, please contact nlpsi-workshop-organizers.nlproc(a)uni-bamberg.de

Dear colleagues, We invite research contributions to our workshop, focusing on reproducible and reusable computational models for social data analysis. The event will also feature an interactive replicability session to enhance hands-on learning and collaboration. Please feel free to share with those interested in your network. Keynote: Professor Carole Goble, University of Manchester (leading eScience Research Lab) Call for papers: R2CASS2025 – International workshop “Social Science Meets Web Data: Reproducible and Reusable Computational Approaches” at ICWSM 2025 Paper submission deadline: March 31st, 2025 Website: https://r2cass2025.wordpress.com/ Submission: https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=r2ca The first international workshop “Social Science Meets web Data: Reproducible and Reusable Computational Approaches” (R2CASS2025) will be held in conjunction with “International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media” (ICWSM 2025) in Copenhagen, Denmark on June 23rd, 2025. The workshop will be held in-person and at least one author of the accepted papers will be required to register and present it in the workshop. The papers presented will be published in the workshop proceedings of the conference. Artificial Intelligence (AI) based models have a growing influence in social science research for analyzing behavioral patterns on social media and other digital platforms. Computational reproducibility has been a concern with these models as they deal with living data that is likely to change, contain personal information and therefore, ethical restrictions on their use. The workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss and exchange ideas towards potential interdisciplinary collaborations from computer science, social science, meta-science and other related disciplines. It provides a platform to present and critically analyze computational reproducibility guidelines and checklists for social sciences. The participants will focus on the open challenges and propose methodologies in computational reproducibility for social science towards improving research transparency, reproducibility, and reusability. Workshop participants are also encouraged to volunteer for and participate in the interactive replicability session attempting to replicate existing methods on sample data. (for participation in the interactive replicability session, please contact the workshop organizers at https://r2cass2025.wordpress.com/contact-2/) The workshop calls for theoretical and practical research contributions that employ qualitative, quantitative and analytical approaches including full papers, short papers, resource papers, position papers and posters on the topics (but not limited to): • Data and software management in machine learning and natural language processing-driven studies • Computational methods on sentiment analysis, bias analysis, toxicity, and sexism detection • Text categorization and topic analysis • Digital behavior analysis on social media and other digital platforms • Computational reproducibility checklists and workflows in social science • FAIR principles in ML research for social science • Open Science applications and reproducibility challenges • Metadata standards for ML/NLP research • Tools for replicating complex social science models using web-based data • Integration of open-source ML/NLP tools for web data analysis Submission guidelines As per AAAI-ICWSM guidelines, all papers must be submitted as high-resolution PDF files formatted in AAAI two-column, camera-ready style, for US Letter (8.5” x 11”) paper. Full papers are recommended to be 8 pages long and must be at most 11 pages long, including only the main text and the references. The mandatory Ethics Checklist (and brief additional Ethics Statement, if desired, see below), optional appendices, etc. do not count toward the page limit and should be placed after the references. Appendices, if they exist, should be placed after the Ethics Checklist. Revision papers and final camera-ready full papers can be up to 12 pages. Dataset papers must be no longer than 10 pages, Poster papers must be no longer than 4 pages, and Demo descriptions must be no longer than 2 pages. No source files (Word or LaTeX) are required at the time of submission for review; only the PDF file is permitted.

Third call for participation - MentalRiskES@IberLEF2025: Early detection of mental risk
by María Dolores Molina González 19 Mar '25

19 Mar '25

*Release of training corpora and registration still open* *!!* ****We apologize for multiple postings of this e-mail**** 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). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feb 14th Registration open Feb 25th Release of trial corpora (trial server available) *Mar 19th Release of training corpora* Mar 31st Registration closed Apr 7th Release of test corpora and start of the evaluation campaign (test server available and trial submissions closed) Apr 14th End of evaluation campaign (deadline for submission of runs) Apr 18th Publication of official results and release of test gold labels May 12th Deadline for paper submission May 30th Acceptance notification Jun 16th Camera-ready submission deadline Sep TBD Publication of proceedings Note: All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 Please reach out to the organizers at MentalRiskEs@IberLEF2025.

As SLMs gain traction in clinical settings due to their adaptability, efficiency, and lower resource demands, they offer a promising alternative to larger models, especially in resource-constrained environments. However, challenges such as performance trade-offs and ethical concerns—bias, privacy, and interpretability—need to be addressed. The workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss SLM applications in clinical tasks, compare them with large language models, and explore methods to overcome these challenges, ultimately aiming to improve patient care and clinician support through more tailored NLP tools. We invite researchers to present their latest research results on the following topics: Applications of SLMs for information extraction, sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, relation extraction from medical documents; Adaptation of SLMs to effectively handle diverse languages, especially those with limited resources; Sustainability of SLMs compared to LLMs; Ethical aspects, including safety, privacy concerns and bias mitigation, explainability; Possibilities and challenges of SLMs in tasks of medical language processing; Comparisons of SMLs and LLMs on specific use cases in healthcare; Evaluation metrics, datasets, and benchmarks. To enable reproducibility and some level of comparison among approaches, we encourage researchers to use the MIMIC-III or MIMIC-IV dataset. Submission deadline: April 15, 2025 __________________________________ Prof. Douglas Teodoro, PhD Department of Radiology and Medical Informatics Faculty of Medicine | University of Geneva Campus Biotech G6-N3 | Chemin des Mines 9, 1202 Genève tel: 022 379 02 25 | douglas.teodoro(a)unige.ch <mailto:douglas.teodoro@unige.ch> www.unige.ch/medecine <http://www.unige.ch/medecine>

BEA 2025 Shared Task: Pedagogical Ability Assessment of AI-powered Tutors
by Ekaterina Kochmar 19 Mar '25

19 Mar '25

Conversational agents offer promising opportunities for education as they can fulfill various roles (e.g., intelligent tutors and service-oriented assistants) and pursue different objectives (e.g., improving student skills and increasing instructional efficiency), among which serving as an AI tutor is one of the most prevalent tasks. Recent advances in the development of Large Language Models (LLMs) provide our field with promising ways of building AI-based conversational tutors, which can generate human-sounding dialogues on the fly. The key question posed in previous research, however, remains: *How can we test whether state-of-the-art generative models are good AI teachers, capable of replying to a student in an educational dialogue?* In this shared task, we will focus on educational dialogues between a student and a tutor in the mathematical domain grounded in student mistakes or confusion, where the AI tutor aims to remediate such mistakes or confusions, with the goal of evaluating the quality of tutor responses along the key dimensions of tutor’s ability to (1) identify student’s mistake, (2) point to its location, (3) provide the student with relevant pedagogical guidance, that is also (4) actionable. Dialogues used in this shared task include the dialogue contexts from MathDial (Macina et al., 2023) and Bridge (Wang et al., 2024) datasets, including the last utterance from the student containing a mistake, and a set of responses to the last student’s utterance from a range of LLM-based tutors and, where available, human tutors, aimed at mistake remediation and annotated for their quality. **Tracks** This shared task will include five tracks. Participating teams are welcome to take part in any number of tracks. - Track 1 - Mistake Identification: Participants are invited to develop systems to detect whether tutors' responses recognize mistakes in students' solutions. - Track 2 - Mistake Location: Participants are invited to develop systems to assess whether tutors' responses accurately point to genuine mistakes and their locations in the students' responses. - Track 3 - Pedagogical Guidance: Participants are invited to develop systems to evaluate whether tutors' responses offer correct and relevant guidance, such as an explanation, elaboration, hint, examples, and so on. - Track 4 - Actionability: Participants are invited to develop systems to assess whether tutors' feedback is actionable, i.e., it makes it clear what the student should do next. - Track 5 - Guess the tutor identity: Participants are invited to develop systems to identify which tutors the anonymized responses in the test set originated from. **Participant registration** All participants should register using the following link: https://forms.gle/fKJcdvL2kCrPcu8X6 **Important dates** All deadlines are 11:59pm UTC-12 (anywhere on Earth). - March 12, 2025: Development data release - April 9, 2025: Test data release - April 23, 2025: System submissions from teams due - April 30, 2025: Evaluation of the results by the organizers - May 21, 2025: System papers due - May 28, 2025: Paper reviews returned - June 9, 2025: Final camera-ready submissions - July 31 and August 1, 2025: BEA 2025 workshop at ACL **Shared task website**: https://sig-edu.org/sharedtask/2025 **Organizers** - Ekaterina Kochmar (MBZUAI) - Kaushal Kumar Maurya (MBZUAI) - Kseniia Petukhova (MBZUAI) - KV Aditya Srivatsa (MBZUAI) - Justin Vasselli (Nara Institute of Science and Technology) - Anaïs Tack (KU Leuven) **Contact**: bea.sharedtask.2025(a)gmail.com<mailto:bea.sharedtask.2025@gmail.com>
