Second Call for Papers ***************** NooJ 2026 International Conference Naples, Italy June 24-26, 2026 https://nooj2026.sciencescall.org/resource/page/id/2 ******************* Important dates: ******************* Abstract submission: 31 January 2026 Notification of acceptance: 25 March 2026 Registration: until 13 April 2026 Conference dates: 24-26 June 2026 *********************************************** University of Naples "L'Orientale" and the NooJ association organize the 20th NooJ Conference in Naples, Italy from 24-26 June, 2026. NooJ is a linguistic development environment that allows linguists to formalize several levels of linguistic phenomena: orthography and spelling; lexicons of simple words, multiword units and frozen expressions; inflectional, derivational and agglutinative morphology; local, constituent and dependency syntax; transformational grammars and semantic analysis. For each phenomenon, NooJ provides linguists with formal tools specifically adapted to facilitate the description, using the four types of Chomsky-Schützenberger formal grammars (regular, context-free, context-sensitive and unrestricted). This approach distinguishes NooJ from most computational linguistic frameworks which provide a single formalism. NooJ is also a corpus processing tool, used in the digital humanities (in History, Literature, Psychology and Sociolinguistics) as it allows users to apply sophisticated linguistic resources to large corpora and build indices and concordances, annotate texts automatically, perform various statistical analyses, etc. NooJ is freely available and linguistic modules can already be freely downloaded for over 30 languages, see https://nooj.univ-fcomte.fr A Web demo is available for English, French, Spanish and Ukrainian at: https://webnooj.univ-fcomte.fr ****************************** The conference intends to: ****************************** * give NooJ users and researchers in Linguistics, Computational Linguistics and in the Digital Humanities the opportunity to meet and share their experience as developers, researchers and teachers; * present to NooJ users the latest linguistic resources and NLP applications developed for/with NooJ, its latest functionalities, as well as its future developments; * offer researchers and graduate students an advanced tutorial dedicated to the automatic transformational analysis/generation of texts. ******************* Topics of interest: ******************* * Lexical resources * Computational morphology * Syntactic analysis * Semantic analysis * Linguistic-based NLP applications *************** Submission: *************** We invite the submission of abstracts in English until 31 January 2026. The abstracts should contain the title, name and email of the author(s) and their institutions.

Call for Papers: Holocaust Testimonies as Language Resources (HTRes-2026) at LREC2026
by Martin Wynne 14 Jan '26

14 Jan '26

CALL FOR PAPERS The Second Workshop on Holocaust Testimonies as Language Resources (HTRes-2026), a pre-conference workshop at LREC2026 Date: 11 May 2026 Location: Palma de Mallorca, Spain Workshop web page: https://www.clarin.eu/HTRes2026 Submission Deadline: 20 February 2026 Submission link: https://softconf.com/lrec2026/HTRes2026/ Holocaust testimonies serve as a bridge between survivors and history’s darkest chapters, providing a connection to the profound experiences of the past. Testimonies stand as the primary source of information that describes the Holocaust, offering first-hand accounts and personal narratives of those who experienced it. The majority of testimonies are captured in an oral format, as survivors vividly explain and share their personal experiences and observations from that time period. Transforming Holocaust testimonies into a machine-processable digital format can be a difficult task owing to the unstructured nature of the text. The creation of accessible, comprehensive, and well-annotated Holocaust testimony collections is of paramount importance to our society. These collections empower researchers and historians to validate the accuracy of socially and historically significant information, enabling them to share critical insights and trends derived from these data. The primary objective of this workshop is to explore how various theories, techniques, and tools from corpus linguistics, natural language processing, and digital humanities can contribute to the examination, analysis, dissemination, and preservation of Holocaust testimonies and other Holocaust-related documents. The workshop is supported by CLARIN and EHRI. Please find full details of the call for papers at the workshop web page at https://www.clarin.eu/HTRes2026. The main conference website is at https://lrec2026.info/ . IMPORTANT DATES Final date for paper submission: 12 February 2026 Notification of Acceptance: 11 March 2026 Camera-ready version submission: 30 March 2026 Workshop date: 11 May 2026 To contact the organisers, please email holocausttlr(a)gmail.com From Martin Wynne on behalf of the organizing committee. -- Senior Researcher in Corpus Linguistics Faculty of Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics, University of Oxford National Co-ordinator, CLARIN-UK martin.wynne(a)ling-phil.ox.ac.uk https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4155-0530

14 Jan '26

*** First Call for Industry Track Papers *** International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse, Product Lines, and Configuration (VARIABILITY 2026) 29 September - 2 October 2026, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina Limassol, Cyprus https://conf.researchr.org/home/variability-2026 The VARIABILITY conference series brings together the communities previously served by ICSR, SPLC, and VaMoS, forming a unified venue for research on variability, configuration, customization, and related disciplines in software and systems engineering. The Industry Track of VARIABILITY 2026 offers a platform for practitioners, researchers, and technology leaders to share practical experiences in industrial settings with reuse, variability management, configuration, and product line engineering across software and systems. Building on the industrial tracks of SPLC, VaMoS, and ICSR, this track bridges research and practice by showcasing how variability, reuse, and product line strategies are being applied and developed in today’s fast-changing industrial environments. Software systems are becoming increasingly configurable, data-driven, and AI-enabled (e.g., using foundation models), while also integrating advanced technologies such as quantum computing. This growing complexity calls for balancing flexibility, reuse, and quality amid pressures from emerging technologies and sustainability objectives. The Industry Track welcomes submissions that demonstrate how these challenges are addressed in real-world settings, whether through success stories, lessons learned, or reflections on failures that yielded valuable insights. We especially encourage submissions that demonstrate how variability management, reuse, and configuration approaches are being applied or reimagined in industrial settings, including through AI, digital twins, large language (LLMs) and foundation models, quantum computing, and cyber-physical systems. The industry track aims to: • Showcase practical experiences from industrial settings using variability, reuse, or configuration techniques. • Exchange insights between industry practitioners and researchers. • Identify new industrial challenges and opportunities for future research collaboration. • Share tools, processes, or organizational approaches that improve adaptability, scalability, and efficiency. Topics of Interest We welcome experience reports, case studies, and position papers on any of the topics covered by the VARIABILITY conference. The detailed list of topics can be found on the conference website (https://conf.researchr.org/track/variability-2026/variability-2026-papers#C…). In addition to these topics, the industry track welcomes papers also on: Industrial Applications • Variability and reuse in AI, cyber-physical systems, robotics, automotive, aerospace, quantum computing, etc. • Sustainable technologies for variation and sustainable software reuse approaches • Human, organizational, and social aspects of variable systems and software • Industrial case studies and lessons learned Submission Guidelines Paper Types We invite the following types of submissions: • Full Papers (up to 18 pages excluding references): Presenting experiences from the application of reuse, variability management, configuration, and product line engineering approaches, preferably in an industrial context.

Second CFP: Workshop on Structured Linguistic Data and Evaluation (SLiDE)
by Petya Osenova 14 Jan '26

14 Jan '26

Workshop on Structured Linguistic Data and Evaluation (SLiDE) A full-day workshop at <https://lrec2026.info/> LREC 2026<https://lrec2026.info/>, 11-16 May 2026, Palma, Mallorca (Spain) The workshop will be held on May 11, 2026 Webpage: https://www.slide-workshop.org/ Second Call For Papers In the last ten years, significant advances in deep learning models and the development of Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized the fields of computational linguistics (CL) and natural language processing (NLP). In turn, this has led to a complete re-assessment of the language resources and evaluation practices necessary for training LLMs and analyzing their outputs. In particular, the availability of very large amounts of unstructured data for training foundational models has come into focus, while the value of high-quality structured linguistic data with rich annotations at various levels of linguistic analysis has been downplayed by comparison. However, as CL and NLP practitioners engage further with LLMs and debate their strengths and weaknesses, the importance of high-quality, structured linguistic data has been re-emphasized. The proposed workshop can be seen as related to the Treebanks and Linguistic Theories (TLT) conference series and the more recent SyntaxFest venue. Over the years, these venues have provided a central forum for high-quality research on treebanks, syntactic theory, syntax-semantics interface, structured meaning representations, and annotated linguistic resources. With record participation in recent years, they demonstrate the vitality and relevance of this line of work. The Workshop on Structured Linguistic Data is conceived as both a continuation of this tradition and an adaptation to the new realities of an LLM-dominated research landscape. The workshop will bring together researchers from these overlapping traditions to advance methods, resources, and practices for integrating structured linguistic data into the LLM era. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Linguistic Data Analyses, Language Resources, and Evaluation * Grammar processing with NLP and LLM-based tools * Phonological and morphological analysis and LLM tokenization * Annotation strategies with LLM-empowered methodologies and tools * Design principles and annotation schemes for structured linguistic data * Multi-lingual and cross-lingual settings * Mapping of structured linguistic data to Linked Open Data resources * Evaluation informed by language typology * Language resources for under-resourced and endangered languages * The use of structured linguistic data for NLP applications * The use of structured linguistic data in acquiring linguistic knowledge * (Semi-)automatic methods for creating structured linguistic data Spoken language Data * Speech-to-text applications * Speech Generation techniques * Speech data preparation, curation and evaluation Multimodality and Situated Dialogue * Structured multimodal resources: gesture AMR (GAMR), gaze and posture annotation, multimodal dialogue corpora. * Multimodal grounding: linking language with visual, gestural, and action representations * Structured representations for co-attention and alignment in multiparty dialogue * Multimodal evaluation resources for LLMs Pragmatics and Discourse * Structured data for discourse and dialogue: discourse relation annotation, coherence structures, dialogue acts * Pragmatic annotation (speech acts, presupposition, implicature, politeness, stance) * Structured approaches to common ground tracking and Theory of Mind in LLMs Semantics and Lexical Meaning * Dependency analysis and semantic parsing * Annotation beyond syntax: semantics, pragmatics and discourse * Structured data for lexical semantics: sense inventories, semantic frames, qualia structure, and type-theoretic resources * Computational semantics resources: Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR), Universal Meaning Representation (UMR), Discourse, Representation Structures, Minimal Recursion Semantics (MRS), Type Theory with Records (TTR) * Distributional and neural-symbolic representations of lexical meaning: (e.g., Holographic Reduced Representations (HRR), hyperdimensional computing) for structured LLM grounding * Aligning vector-based meaning representations with symbolic/typed structures We invite paper submissions in two distinct tracks: * regular papers on substantial and original research, including empirical evaluation results, where appropriate – 8 pages excluding references and potential ethics statements; * short papers on smaller, focused contributions, work in progress, negative results, surveys, or opinion pieces – 4 pages excluding references and potential ethics statements. Invited speakers Naiara Perez (University of the Basque Country) Shira Wein (Amherst College) Paper Submission and Templates * Submission follows the LREC 2026 conference instructions, using the Softconf START conference management system accessible through the following link: https://softconf.com/lrec2026/SLiDE/ * Submissions should follow the LREC stylesheet, available on the conference website on the <https://lrec2026.info/authors-kit/> Author’s kit<https://lrec2026.info/authors-kit/> page.
