MSc AI for Translation and Interpreting
by Constantin Orasan 09 Jun '25

09 Jun '25

New distance-learning route: Applications for MSc AI for Translation and Interpreting Studies now open (academic year 2025-26 entry) The Centre for Translation Studies (CTS) at the University of Surrey is pleased to announce the launching of AI in Translation and Interpreting Studies MSc. This MSc programme has an in-person route, but most crucially, a new distance-learning route, for both full-time and part-time modes of study. Classes are delivered synchronously (for all routes and modes of study). This unique and innovative course draws on the research and pedagogy CTS is well known for, namely the responsible integration of professional practice with AI tools in multilingual mediation, translation and interpreting technologies, translation as intercultural mediation, corpus-based translation, audiovisual translation and automatic translation. As such, the course is ideally suited for students who wish to work at the at the interface of (traditional) Languages degrees, Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning and Machine Translation. This year we encourage applications from students interested in how Natural Language Processing and Large Language Models benefit translators and interpreters. The new configuration offers a balance of hands-on training and critical skills when using language technologies across the academic year. As an MSc student, you will take three compulsory taught modules in semester 1 and select three optional modules in semester 2 (90 credits). You will then complete your degree with a long dissertation (90 credits), allowing you to tackle a project in greater depth. For full programme details, a special fee offer for the online/distance-learning route and the overall structure, please visit AI for Translation and Interpreting Studies MSc masters course | University of Surrey<https://www.surrey.ac.uk/postgraduate/ai-translation-and-interpreting-studi…> Our MSc course comes in the wake of further diversification of our postgraduate programmes. It constitutes a change informed by constant dialogue with our students which resulted in a revamp of our portfolio. See our staff-student partnership project "Translation in the Era of General Artificial Intelligence"<https://www.surrey.ac.uk/news/human-and-machine-harmony-centre-translation-…> This change further aligns with recent developments in translation and translation technology projects which are done with the help of AI or AI-powered tools.

Call for participation: First Workshop on Optimal Reliance and Accountability in Interactions with Generative Language Models
by Nikhil Krishnaswamy 08 Jun '25

08 Jun '25

Dear Corpora list organizers, Please find below our submission for circulation: ====== The First Workshop on Optimal Reliance and Accountability in Interactions with Generative Language Models (*ORIGen*) will be held in conjunction with the Second Conference on Language Modeling (COLM) at the Palais des Congrès in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on October 10, 2025! With the rapid integration of generative AI, exemplified by large language models (LLMs), into personal, educational, business, and even governmental workflows, such systems are increasingly being treated as “collaborators” with humans. In such scenarios, underreliance or avoidance of AI assistance may obviate the potential speed, efficiency, or scalability advantages of a human-LLM team, but simultaneously, there is a risk that subject matter non-experts may overrely on LLMs and trust their outputs uncritically, with consequences ranging from the inconvenient to the catastrophic. Therefore, establishing optimal levels of reliance within an interactive framework is a critical open challenge as language models and related AI technology rapidly advances. * What factors influence overreliance on LLMs? * How can the consequences of overreliance be predicted and guarded against? * What verifiable methods can be used to apportion accountability for the outcomes of human-LLM interactions? * What methods can be used to imbue such interactions with appropriate levels of “friction” to ensure that humans think through the decisions they make with LLMs in the loop? The ORIGen workshop provides a new venue to address these questions and more through a multidisciplinary lens. We seek to bring together broad perspectives from AI, NLP, HCI, cognitive science, psychology, and education to highlight the importance of mediating human-LLM interactions to mitigate overreliance and promote accountability in collaborative human-AI decision-making. Submissions are due June 20, 2025. Please see our call for papers [1] for more!

[CfP] First CfP for LowResNLP: Workshop on Advancing NLP for Low-Resource Languages @ RANLP 2025 (Varna, Bulgaria)
by Simon Ostermann 07 Jun '25

07 Jun '25

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the first 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 6, 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: Workshop paper submission deadline: 6 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/). Papers should be submitted through SoftConf: https://softconf.com/ranlp25/LowResNLP2025 Organizers: For any questions, please drop a mail to lowresnlp-2025-organizers(a)googlegroups.com Ernesto Luis Estevanell-Valladares (University of Alicante, Spain; University of Havana, Cuba) Alicia Picazo-Izquierdo (University of Alicante, Spain) Tharindu Ranasinghe (Lancaster University, UK) Besik Mikaberidze (Georgian Technical University, Georgia) Simon Ostermann (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, Germany) Daniil Gurgurov (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, Germany) Philipp Müller (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, Germany) Kurt Micallef (University of Malta, Malta) Claudia Borg (University of Malta, Malta) Michal Gregor (KINIT, Slovakia) Marián Šimko (KINIT, Slovakia)
