[Apologies for Cross Posting] ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ NL4AI 2026 – 9th Workshop on Natural Language for Artificial Intelligence, at the 24th International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA 2026) 6–9 October 2026 | Perugia, Italy ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Website: http://sag.art.uniroma2.it/NL4AI/ Contact Email: nl4ai2026(a)gmail.com ── IMPORTANT DATES ────────────────── [EXTENDED] Paper Submission deadline: 24 July 2026, 23:59 AoE (Firm Deadline)🚨 Notification to authors: 19 August 2026 Camera-ready due: 26 August 2026 Workshop Dates: 6–9 October 2026 ──────────────────────────────────── We invite submissions to NL4AI 2026, the Ninth Workshop on Natural Language for Artificial Intelligence, to be held in Perugia from the 6th to the 9th of October 2026, within the 24th International Conference of the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence (AIxIA 2026), and supported by AILC (http://www.ai-lc.it/). The goal of NL4AI is to explore the role of Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing in Artificial Intelligence applications. We believe that new technological challenges and opportunities arise at the boundary between NLP and AI. On the one hand, AI applications benefit from a deeper understanding of problems related to Natural Language, and thus the integration of advanced NLP techniques. On the other hand, NLP benefits greatly from being used in wider areas of AI where problems and methodologies related to NL can be evaluated in new contexts. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics include but are not limited to: NLP and AI Applications (health, legal domain, social media and journalism, etc.) Natural Language Interfaces for Human Robot Interaction Resources, Benchmarks, and Evaluation Discourse and Pragmatics Semantics Natural Language Generation Creativity, Style, and Narrative Generation Summarization Information Extraction in AI Applications Machine Learning for NLP LLMs, Foundation Models and Applications Interpretability, Explainability and Analysis of Models for NLP Natural Language Inference Question Answering and Reading Comprehension Sentiment Analysis, Opinion Mining, and Argumentation Abusive Language Detection and Analysis NLP for Fact Checking, Fake News Detection and Analysis Conversational Agents in Human-Computer Interaction Speech and Spoken Language Processing Language and other Multimodality Multimodal (text-image) data sources Machine Translation and Multilinguality Low-Resource NLP and Linguistic Diversity Cognitive Modeling and Psycholinguistics Computational Historical Linguistics, Social Science, and Cultural Analytics Ethics, Fairness, and Societal Impacts of NLP NLP and Industrial Challenges Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings via CEUR Workshop Proceedings. Depending on the number and quality of papers received, we will consider proposing a special issue in relevant journals. The Program Committee will select the Best Workshop Paper from the accepted papers. SUBMISSIONS We encourage original submissions that describe new theoretical models, applied techniques, and research in progress. Substantial extensions to works already published or presented in other locations are welcome as well. We invite two kinds of submissions: Short/Demo Paper. Maximum length of 6 pages + up to 2 pages of Acknowledgements/Declaration on Generative AI/References Regular Papers. Maximum length of 12 pages + up to 2 pages of references Acknowledgements/Declaration on Generative AI/References. Please note that papers with less than 25000 characters will be considered short papers in the CEUR proceedings. Submissions Evaluation. Submissions will be peer-reviewed (single-blind) by the program committee members. Evaluation criteria will include novelty, significance for theory/practice, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Note that reviewers will not be required to evaluate appendices providing a review of the papers. Appendices are intended for including details for reproducibility and/or additional results. How to Submit. Proceedings shall be submitted to CEUR-WS.org for online publication and all papers must follow the 2022 CEUR-ART - 1 Column paper style. The LaTeX template can be downloaded as source file from the NL4AI website or accessed as a Template in Overleaf. All the papers should be submitted via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nl4ai2026 Note: All submissions must be compatible with CEUR (https://ceur-ws.org/) and include the CEUR Declaration on Generative AI section ( https://ceur-ws.org/GenAI/Policy.html). Papers missing this section will be desk rejected.

IWSLT 2027 - Call for Task Proposals
by Atul K. Ojha 22 Jul '26

22 Jul '26

Dear all, The International Conference on Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT) <https://iwslt.org/> is the premier annual conference for all aspects of Spoken Language Translation. Every year, the conference organizes and sponsors open evaluation campaigns around key challenges in simultaneous and consecutive translation, under real-time/low latency or offline conditions, and for a variety of languages in under-resourced or multilingual conditions. System descriptions and results from participants’ systems, as well as scientific papers on key algorithmic advances and best practices, are presented. IWSLT is the venue of the SIGSLT, the Special Interest Group on Spoken Language Translation of ACL, ISCA, and ELRA <https://iwslt.org/>. With a track record of 20+ years, IWSLT benchmarks and proceedings serve as references for all researchers and practitioners working in speech translation and related fields. Many challenges in speech translation have not yet been addressed; among them, we are really interested in topics related to new application scenarios (e.g. meetings, subtitling, dubbing), specific aspects (e.g. names, accents), different styles, multilingually, discourse and summarization, multimodal and multi-party speech translation, and automatic evaluation metrics for speech translation. or many other ideas that researchers have not yet focused on. Therefore, we invite proposals for shared tasks. As a task organizer you can promote a particular challenge in speech translation, either newly identified or worthy of continued research. For those proposing new tasks, for inspiration, you can find the tasks run in the previous year on the IWSLT website <https://iwslt.org/2026/>. Tasks will be selected in November based on their relevance and readiness for the evaluation campaign, to enable data to be released by the end of the year. To ensure an appropriate number of total tracks, highly related proposals may be encouraged to merge after initial review. If you want to propose a new task to encourage researchers around the world to work on particular timely challenges in SLT, please fill out the following form <https://iwslt.org/assets/pdfs/IWSLT2027-Call_for_Tasks.pdf> and send it to: *iwslt-organizers(a)googlegroups.com <iwslt-organizers(a)googlegroups.com> *by* September 30th, 2026. *Decisions about which tasks will run in 2027 will be announced by *November 1st, 2026* . For further information on this initiative, please refer to the * <https://iwslt.org/assets/pdfs/IWSLT2026-Call_for_Tasks.pdf>CFP <https://iwslt.org/assets/pdfs/IWSLT2027-Call_for_Tasks.pdf> *( https://iwslt.org/assets/pdfs/IWSLT2027-Call_for_Tasks.pdf).
