by Announce 01 Oct '25

01 Oct '25

*** Third Call for Contributions to the Special Tracks *** The 25th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (AAMAS 2026) May 25-29, 2026, 5* Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, Paphos, Cyprus https://cyprusconferences.org/aamas2026/<http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/~george/GPLists_2021/lm.php?tk=Y29ycG9yYQkJCWNvcnBv…> 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.

[Last CFP] CHOMPS Workshop @ IJCNLP-AACL 2025
by Aman Sinha 30 Sep '25

30 Sep '25

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 - Dr. Khyathi Raghavi Chandu, Mistral AI * Panel Discussion * - Preslav Nakov, MBZUAI - Sunayana Sitaram, Microsoft Research - Chung-Chi Chen, AIST, Japan * Shared Task * SHROOM-CAP - A Cross-lingual Scientific Hallucination Detection shared task. More info : [ https://helsinki-nlp.github.io/shroom/2025a | https://helsinki-nlp.github.io/shroom/2025a ] * Submission details * The workshop is designed with a widely inclusive submission policy so as to foster as vibrant a discussion as possible. Archival or non-archival submissions may consist of up to 8 pages (long) or 4 pages (short) of content. Dissemination submissions may consist of up to 1 page of content. On acceptance, authors may add one additional page to accommodate changes suggested by the reviewers. Please use the ACL style templates available here: [ https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files | https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files ] The submissions need to be done in PDF format via: (a) via Direct submission ( [ https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/AACL-IJCNLP/2025/Workshop/CHOMPS | https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/AACL-IJCNLP/2025/Workshop/CHOMPS ] ) (b) via ARR commitment ( [ https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/AACL-IJCNLP/2025/Workshop/CHOMPS… | https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/AACL-IJCNLP/2025/Workshop/CHOMPS… ] ) * Important dates * Paper submission deadline: September 29 , 2025 Direct ARR commitment: October 27 , 2025 Author notification: November 3 , 2025 Camera-Ready due: November 11 , 2025 Workshop date: December 23/ 24, 2025 (TBC) * Contact * For questions, please send an email to chomps-aacl2025(a)googlegroups.com or contact one of the workshop chairs: - Aman Sinha, Université de Lorraine, aman.sinha(a)univ-lorraine.fr - Raúl Vázquez, University of Helsinki, raul.vazquez(a)helsinki.fi - Timothee Mickus, University of Helsinki, timothee.mickus(a)helsinki.fi

PhD and postdoc offers at Telecom Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris
by Nils Holzenberger 26 Sep '25

26 Sep '25

Hello, We are hiring 2 PhD students and 1 postdoc to work on combining language models with structured data, at Telecom Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris. Start date can be between January and March 2026. Large Language Models are amazing, and with our research project, we aim to make them even more amazing! Our project will connect large language models to structured knowledge such as knowledge bases or databases. With this, 1. language models will stop hallucinating 2. language models' knowledge can be audited and updated reliably, to spot biases and make them more interpretable 3. language models will become smaller and thus more eco-friendly and deployable We work in the DIG team at Telecom Paris, one of the finest engineering schools in France, and part of Institut Polytechnique de Paris — ranked 38th in the world by the QS ranking. The institute is 45 min away from Paris by public transport, and located in the green of the Plateau de Saclay. Check out our Web site to apply: https://suchanek.name/work/research/kb-lm/index.html Fabian Suchanek & Nils Holzenberger
