New Paper Submission Deadline - 19th Workshop on Building and Using Comparable Corpora at LREC 2026
by Reinhard Rapp 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

Call for Papers New Submission Deadline: March 5, 2026 ************************************************************** 19th WORKSHOP ON BUILDING AND USING COMPARABLE CORPORA Co-located with LREC 2026, Palma de Mallorca (in-person & online) May 11, 2026 Workshop website: https://comparable.lisn.upsaclay.fr/bucc2026/ Main conference website: https://lrec2026.info/ ************************************************************** MOTIVATION In the language engineering and linguistics communities, research in comparable corpora has been motivated by two main reasons. In language engineering, on the one hand, it is chiefly motivated by the need to use comparable corpora as training data for data-driven NLP applications such as statistical and neural machine translation, or cross-lingual retrieval. In linguistics, on the other hand, comparable corpora are of interest because they enable cross-language discoveries and comparisons. It is generally accepted in both communities that comparable corpora consist of documents that are comparable in content and form in various degrees and dimensions across several languages. Parallel corpora are on the one end of this spectrum, and unrelated corpora are on the other. Increasingly, these resources are not only collected, but also augmented or even created synthetically, which raises new questions about how to define and measure comparability. In recent years, the use of comparable corpora for pre-training Large Language Models (LLMs) has led to their impressive multilingual and cross-lingual abilities, which are relevant to a range of applications, including information retrieval, machine translation, cross-lingual text classification, etc. The linguistic definitions and observations related to comparable corpora are crucial to improve methods to mine such corpora, to assess and document synthetic data, and to improve cross-lingual transfer of LLMs. Therefore, it is of great interest to bring together builders and users of such corpora. PANEL DISCUSSION The panel discusses the impact of synthetic data on comparable corpora research. Fundamental questions about how LLMs transform our understanding and use of multilingual data are addressed. TOPICS We solicit contributions on all topics related to comparable (and parallel) corpora, including but not limited to the following: Building Comparable Corpora - Automatic and semi-automatic methods, including generating comparable corpora using LLMs - Methods to mine parallel and non-parallel corpora from the web - Tools and criteria to evaluate the comparability of corpora - Parallel vs non-parallel corpora, monolingual corpora - Rare and minority languages, within and across language families - Multi-media/multi-modal comparable corpora Synthetic Data for Comparable Corpora - LLM generation of comparable/parallel data - Improving comparability of synthetic data - Incidental bilingualism & pre-training use of comparable data - Comparability & cross-lingual consistency - Detection & attribution of synthetic vs. human text - English-centric effects & fairness across languages/scripts - Evaluation & reproducibility for downstream tasks Applications of Comparable Corpora - Human translation - Language learning - Cross-language information retrieval & document categorization - Bilingual and multilingual projections - (Unsupervised) machine translation - Writing assistance - Machine learning techniques using comparable corpora Mining from Comparable Corpora - Cross-language distributional semantics, word embeddings and pre-trained multilingual transformer models - Extraction of parallel segments or paraphrases from comparable corpora - Methods to derive parallel from non-parallel corpora (e.g. to provide for low-resource languages in neural machine translation) - Extraction of bilingual and multilingual translations of single words, multi-word expressions, proper names, named entities, sentences, paraphrases etc. from comparable corpora. - Induction of morphological, grammatical, and translation rules from comparable corpora - Induction of multilingual word classes from comparable corpora Comparable Corpora in the Humanities - Comparing linguistic phenomena across languages in contrastive linguistics - Analyzing properties of translated language in translation studies - Studying language change over time in diachronic linguistics - Assigning texts to authors via authors' corpora in forensic linguistics - Comparing rhetorical features in discourse analysis - Studying cultural differences in sociolinguistics - Analyzing language universals in typological research IMPORTANT DATES 05 Mar 2026: Paper submission deadline (extended) 22 Mar 2026: Notification of acceptance 29 Mar 2026: Camera-ready final papers 14 Apr 2026: Workshop programme final version 11 May 2026: Workshop date All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 (“anywhere on earth”).

Public talk (5 March 2026) - Privacy-Preserving Generation of Synthetic Clinical Narratives (by Prof Goran Nenadic, University of Manchester) - Exeter NLPV seminar
by h.dong2＠exeter.ac.uk 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

We welcome you to the next Natural Language Processing and Vision (NLPV) seminar at the University of Exeter. Zoom scheduled: Thursday 5 March 2026 at 15:00 to 16:00, GMT Location: https://Universityofexeter.zoom.us/j/98687933020?pwd=si6Sb2yasZU2s8zw0hMI4n… (Meeting ID: 986 8793 3020 Password: 667296) Title: Privacy-Preserving Generation of Synthetic Clinical Narratives Abstract: Training data is fundamental to the success of modern machine learning models, yet in high-stakes domains such as healthcare, the use of real-world training data is severely constrained by concerns over privacy leakage. A potential solution to this challenge is the use of differentially private (DP) synthetic data, which offers formal privacy guarantees while maintaining data utility. However, striking the right balance between privacy protection and utility remains challenging in clinical note synthesis, given its domain specificity and the complexity of long-form text generation. I will discuss the key issues in synthetic clinical text generation and a methodology to synthesise full-length clinical notes under strong DP constraints. The method structurally separates content and form, and generates section-wise note content conditioned on clinical profile of patients, with terms and notes privatised under separate DP constraints. To ensure quality, a DP quality maximiser enhances synthetic notes by selecting high-quality outputs. I will also introduce a validation framework, and demonstrate how the corpus generated by the proposed method aligns with real clinical notes (MIMIC). Speaker's bio: Goran Nenadic is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Manchester. His research focuses on making sense of large-scale free-text data by combining rule-based and data-intensive approaches. He mainly works in the healthcare domain, exploring clinical coding, temporal clinical information extraction and anonymisation of clinical free-text data. He currently leads a DARE UK project on federated generation of synthetic textual healthcare records. The project explores how synthetic clinical text can be generated and validated for safe use. Combining differential privacy with strong public and regulatory engagement, the project will test whether synthetic free-text data can meaningfully support research and federated learning while reducing privacy risks. Goran also leads the UK healthcare text analytics network (Healtex) and a DARE UK working group (Safetext) to develop national protocols for the responsible use of healthcare free-text data in AI development.

CfP - Studying the Language of Young Learners: Methodological Advances and Challenges
by Robert Fuchs 25 Feb '26

25 Feb '26

*Studying the Language of Young Learners: Methodological Advances and Challenges* 16–17 July 2026 Workshop at the University of Bonn, Germany, organized by Robert Fuchs (University of Bonn), Valentin Werner (University of Bamberg) & Anna Rosen (University of Freiburg) as part of the project /Young German Learner English /(funded by the German Research Foundation). https://www.iaak.uni-bonn.de/bael/en/uploads/yglew2_cfp.pdf Research on young second language (L2) learners, as well as young learner (inter-)language specifically, has gained increasing attention in recent years, driven by calls for greater diversity and representativeness in both Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and Learner Corpus Research (LCR). Although a growing number of learner corpora are available (Fernández & Davis, 2021), corpora representing young learner language, broadly defined, remain comparatively rare. While empirical findings from young learners are of exceptional theoretical and applied importance, they also raise distinct methodological challenges at every stage of the research process, from study design and data elicitation to annotation, analysis, and interpretation (Granger, 2015; Myles, 2015, 2021; Tracy-Ventura & Paquot, 2021). This workshop, organized by the YGLE team (https://www.ygle.de), focuses explicitly on these methodological issues. It is intended as an interdisciplinary forum for researchers working with young learner populations, typically situated in institutional (primary or secondary school) contexts, to exchange insights, innovations, and best practices that advance the methodological foundations of our field (Gilquin, 2015, 2021; Paquot & Plonsky, 2017). The workshop will feature keynotes by - Emma Marsden, University of York - Detmar Meurers, Leibniz-Institut für Wissensmedien, Tübingen The workshop will take place jointly with the15th /Bonn Applied English Linguistics Conference/ (BAELc15; https://www.iaak.uni-bonn.de/bael/en/news-and-events/all-news-and-events/ba…), which will focus on corpus-based research but is open to other fields of applied linguistics as well. While the working language of the event is English, we welcome contributions on all learner and target languages. The conference is planned as an in-person event in Bonn. It will start after 12 pm on Thursday and end (at the latest) at 4 pm on Saturday, leaving room for travel. Please submit your abstracts (in the range of 400–500 words + potentially a data table or figure for illustration + references; please use APA style) before April 15th, 2026 via easyabs (see link below). You will receive feedback on acceptance in early May 2026. We will be able to accommodate a limited number of online presentations. Please indicate your availability in your submission.
