# Desegma-IT - Detection and Segmentation of Machine Generated Text in
Italian
## Call for participation
https://desegma.github.io/
Desegma-IT is a Shared Task of the 9th evaluation campaign organized by the
EVALITA initiative.
Desegma-IT’s shared tasks of Detection and Segmentation aim to stress-test
the robustness of machine-generated text detectors by evaluating their
performance under settings where the I.I.D. (independent and identically
distributed) assumption does not hold. While state-of-the-art MGT detectors
have reported high accuracy, such results often stem from unrealistic
experimental settings: for example, relying on prior knowledge of the text
generator, or failing to consider domain shifts and efficient fine-tuning -
or post-tuning - strategies.
## Tasks
* MGT Detection in the Wild
* Human-Machine Text Segmentation
Check the Tasks page https://desegma.github.io/tasks/ for more details
about the tasks and the dataset.
We support and wish for many diverse approaches to the tasks.
Any kind of submission, either based on LLMs or any other approach is
welcome!

We welcome submissions to the Special Tracks of AAMAS 2026. AAMAS 2026 will feature
five special tracks: AAAI Track, JAAMAS Track, Blue Sky Ideas Track, Demo Track, and
Competitions Track, as well as the Doctoral Consortium.
The AAAI Track welcomes AAAI-25 submissions rejected from the main AAAI track that
are relevant to the AAMAS research community and received no reject review
recommendations (all review scores are weak reject or above).
The JAAMAS Track offers authors of papers recently published in the Journal of
Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (JAAMAS) that have not previously appeared
as full papers in an archival conference the opportunity to present their work at AAMAS
2026.
The focus of the Blue Sky Ideas Track is on visionary ideas, long-term challenges, new
research opportunities, and controversial debate.
The Demo Track allows participants from both academia and industry to showcase their
latest developments in agent-based and robotic systems.
The Competitions Track is an effective mechanism for motivating researchers to enhance
discussions, share knowledge, and boost the development and evaluation of theory and
practice of autonomous agents and multiagent systems.
Finally, AAMAS invites PhD students working in the research areas covered by AAMAS to
take part in the Doctoral Consortium (DC). The DC is an opportunity to interact closely
with established researchers in your field as well as other PhD students to receive feedback
on your work and to get advice on managing your career.
The calls for each track above and for the Doctoral Consortium, along with the respective
important dates, are available on the AAMAS 2026 web site.
Workshops and Tutorials
Furthermore, AAMAS 2026 invites proposals for workshops and tutorials. These will be
held on May 25-26, 2026, immediately before the main program of the AAMAS conference.
The objectives of the AAMAS 2026 workshop program are to stimulate and facilitate
discussion, interaction, and comparison of approaches, methods, and ideas related to
specific topics, both theoretical and applied, in the general area of Autonomous Agents
and Multiagent Systems. The AAMAS 2026 workshops will provide an informal setting
where participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics, fostering
the active exchange of ideas and supporting community development.
Tutorials will be half-day long and will be in person — online/remote versions will not be
accepted. A few full-day tutorials may be considered, but the proponents need to motivate
their request when submitting their proposal.
The calls for workshop and tutorial proposals, along with the respective important dates,
are available on the AAMAS 2026 web site.

SciProdLLM 2025: 1st Workshop on Human-LLM Collaboration for Ethical
and Responsible Science Production
December 23/24, 2025, Mumbai, India
Co-located with IJCNLP-AACL 2025
https://sciprodllm.github.io/
CALL FOR PAPERS
SciProdLLM 2025 is a forum for presenting and discussing research on
integrating large language models (LLMs) into the typical research
workflow: from ideation to experimentation to scientific writing, with
a particular focus on human-centered approaches that ensure ethical
and responsible use of LLMs. We also invite work that evaluates the
quality of LLM-assisted research workflows and the resulting outputs.
We welcome submissions on any aspect of human-LLM collaboration for
science production, evaluation of LLMs for science production, and/or
evaluation of LLM-assisted scientific papers. Relevant topics include,
but are not limited to, the following:
- Guiding idea generation through user feedback
- Automated experimentation following the experimental workflow used
by human scientists (e.g., the workflow from data preprocessing to
comparison to baselines)
- Human-curated datasets of scientific papers for fine-tuning LLMs for
generating ideas and paper content (text, figures, tables, etc.)
- Human-LLM co-authored peer reviews (e.g., LLM-assisted peer review
platforms)
- Benchmark datasets for evaluating LLMs on idea generation,
experimentation, multimodal content generation, or scientific
writing
- Evaluation metrics for detecting problematic papers (e.g., those
containing suspicious citations or tortured phrases)
- Statistical analyses of collections of LLM-assisted papers (e.g., on
topics, citations, or retractions)
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
SciProdLLM 2025 welcomes long and short papers. Long papers may
consist of up to 8 pages of content, plus unlimited pages of
references. Short papers may consist of up to 4 pages of content, plus
unlimited pages of references. Both types of submissions must follow
the same requirements and procedures as for IJCNLP-AACL 2025 main
conference papers:
<https://2025.aaclnet.org/calls/main_conference_papers> Note that
papers submitted as non-archival will be allocated presentation time
at the workshop but will not be included in the proceedings.
There are three supported submission modes:
- Direct submissions: Direct submissions will receive up to three
double-blind reviews, and a final decision on acceptance from the
workshop organizers. Direct submissions should be made through the
SciProdLLM page on OpenReview:
<https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/AACL-IJCNLP/2025/Workshop/SciPro…>
- ARR submissions: Unpublished papers that have already been reviewed
and meta-reviewed through ACL Rolling Review may be committed to
SciProdLLM. These papers will not receive new reviews but may be
meta-reviewed by the workshop organizers, who will make a final
decision on acceptance. A commitment link will published in a future
version of this call.
- Previously published papers: We invite non-archival submissions of
papers that have already been recently published elsewhere. This
allows such papers to gain more visibility from the workshop
audience. To submit a previously published paper for presentation,
please email SciProdLLM(a)groups.io with the details of your paper
(title, authors, abstract, publication venue) and attaching a PDF
copy of the paper. (Submissions of previously published papers need
