Last CFP: CHOMPS – Confabulation, Hallucinations, & Overgeneration in Multilingual & Precision-critical Settings
(with our apologies for cross-posting)
Venue: IJCNLP-AACL 2025 ( [ https://2025.aaclnet.org/ | https://2025.aaclnet.org/ ] ), IIT Bombay, Mumbai, India
Date: 23/24th December 2025 (TBC)
Workshop website: [ https://chomps2025.github.io/ | https://chomps2025.github.io/ ]
* Description *
Despite rapid advances, LLMs continue to "make things up": a phenomenon that manifests as hallucination, confabulation, and overgeneration. That is, produce unsupported and unverifiable text that sounds deceptively plausible. These outputs pose real risks in settings where accuracy and accountability are non-negotiable, including healthcare, legal systems, and education. The aim of the CHOMPS workshop is to find ways to mitigate one of major the hurdles that currently prevent the adoption of Large Language Models in real-world scenarios: namely, their tendency to hallucinate, i.e., produce unsupported and unverifiable text that sounds deceptively plausible.
The workshop will explore hallucination mitigation in practical situations, where this mitigation is crucial: in particular, precision-critical applications (such as those in the medical, legal and biotech domains), as well as multilingual settings (given the lack of resources available to reproduce what can be done for English in other linguistic contexts). In practice, we intend to invite works of the following (not exclusive) list of topics:
* Workshop topics *
- Metrics, benchmarks and tools for hallucination detection
- Factuality challenges in mission critical & domain-specific (e.g., medical, legal, biotech) and their consequences
- Mitigation strategies during inference or model training
- Studies of hallucinatory and confabulatory behaviors of LLMS in cross-lingual and multilingual scenarios
- Confabulations in language & multimodal (vision, text, speech) models
- Perspectives and case studies from other disciplines
- …
* Invited speakers *
- Anna ROGERS, IT University of Copenhagen
- Danish PRUTHI, IISc Bangalore
- Abhilasha RAVICHANDER, University of Washington

Areas of Interest
We welcome the submission of technical papers describing significant and original
research on all aspects of the theory and practice of autonomous agents and multiagent
systems. If you are new to this community, then we encourage you to consult the
proceedings of previous editions of the conference to fully appreciate the scope of AAMAS.
At the time of submission, you will be asked to associate your paper with one of the
following areas of interest:
• Learning and Adaptation (LEARN)
• Generative and Agentic AI (GAAI)
• Game Theory and Economic Paradigms (GTEP)
• Coordination, Organizations, Institutions, Norms, and Ethics (COINE)
• Search, Optimization, Planning, and Scheduling (SOPS)
• Representation, and Reasoning (RR)
• Engineering and Analysis of Multiagent Systems (EMAS)
• Modeling and Simulation of Societies (SIM)
• Human-Agent Interaction (HAI)
• Robotics and Control (ROBOT)
• Innovative Applications (IA)
More information on these areas and the topics covered can be found here:
https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/call-for-papers-main-track/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29ycG9yYQkJCWNvcnBv…> .
Workshop Outreach Pipeline
AAMAS 2026 will include a pilot designed to encourage submission of high-quality papers
from related workshops at sister AI conferences. All submissions will go through the
standard AAMAS review process, but PCs from participating workshops will be able to
easily bid on papers from "their" workshop. As with all AAMAS submissions, only papers
that have not been published in any archival proceedings can be submitted.
You can see the full list of workshops in the interest form for authors:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1UjJbNykWK_fsKWbEHDyMEA02cGheIyPeWxCPcUskwk…<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29ycG9yYQkJCWNvcnBv…> [docs.google.com]
It is recommended to verify with your workshop chair that they are aware of the pipeline
and have promoted it to the workshop's authors and PC.
Other Tracks
In addition to the main track, AAMAS 2026 will feature four special tracks (AAAI Track,
JAAMAS Track, Blue Sky Ideas Track, Demo Track), as well as a 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).
Submission DL: November 17, 2025

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.
