Fully-funded PhD position in NLP-Driven Digital Twins, L3i, La Rochelle University, France
by Georgeta Bordea 03 Dec '25

03 Dec '25

We are pleased to announce that applications are now open for a fully-funded PhD position in Natural Language Processing at the Laboratoire Informatique, Image et Interaction (L3i) of La Rochelle University. 🏛️ Topic: NLP-Driven Digital Twins for the Preservation of Coastal Historical Heritage Coastal historical buildings represent centuries of heritage but face existential threats from climate change. While physical restoration is urgent, the critical historical and technical data required for accurate reconstruction is often locked in unstructured textual formats (historical archives, architectural logs, and damage reports). Current Digital Twins are often "semantically empty" as they contain geometry but lack historical context. We lack automated methods to interpret complex, often archaic, textual descriptions and map them to digital models for accurate restoration. This thesis aims to revolutionize heritage conservation by integrating Natural Language Processing (NLP) into the Digital Twin pipeline. The research will focus on fine-tuning LLMs to parse and structure data from historical corpora regarding building materials, past interventions, and degradation history and constructing a dynamic Knowledge Graph that links linguistic data to 3D architectural elements. The outcome will be a system that empowers engineers and historians to interact with heritage data via Natural Language, ensuring that the reconstruction of these landmarks is not just structurally sound, but historically accurate. 📌 Supervised by: Dr. Georgeta Bordea [https://www.linkedin.com/in/georgeta-bordea-7116851a/] (La Rochelle Université [https://www.linkedin.com/company/la-rochelle-universite/]) and Prof. Ana - Cornelia BADEA [https://www.linkedin.com/in/anacorneliabadea/] (Universitatea Tehnică de Construcții București [https://www.linkedin.com/company/utcbro/]). 🔗More information: * LRUniv website: https://www.univ-larochelle.fr/en/research-and-innovation/phd/eu-docs-for-s… [https://www.univ-larochelle.fr/en/research-and-innovation/phd/eu-docs-for-s…] * Euraxess: https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/380133 [https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/380133] * Association Bernard Gregory: https://www.abg.asso.fr/fr/recruteurOffres/show/id_offre/133799 [https://www.abg.asso.fr/fr/recruteurOffres/show/id_offre/133799] 📅 Application deadline: 𝟭𝟮 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱

Second CFP: The 8th Workshop on Research in Computational Linguistic Typology and Multilingual NLP (SIGTYP 2026)
by Priya Rani 03 Dec '25

03 Dec '25

*To be held at EACL 2026 (March 24-29 in Rabat, Morocco)* *Workshop description* The 8th SIGTYP Workshop aims to provide a forum for bridging linguistic typology, multilingual NLP, and adjacent areas to develop truly multilingual NLP methods. The workshop raises awareness of linguistic typology and its potential to broaden the global reach of multilingual NLP and introduces computational approaches to typology. We welcome open problems and discussion, inviting contributions from researchers in multilingual/cross-lingual NLP and leading scholars in linguistic typology. In 2026, we place a special emphasis on the utility of LLMs for typological research. *SIGTYP is the first dedicated venue for typology-related research and its integration in multilingual NLP. Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to):* - *Integration of typological features in language transfer and joint multilingual learning. *Beyond techniques such as “selective sharing,” what other ways can we encode heterogeneous external knowledge in ML algorithms? - *Development of unified taxonomy and resources. *Building universal databases/models to support the understanding and processing of diverse languages. - *Automatic inference of typological features. *Pros/cons of existing techniques (e.g., heuristics from morphosyntactic annotation, propagation from related languages, supervised Bayesian/neural models) and emerging approaches. - *Typology and interpretability. *Using typological knowledge to interpret hidden representations of multilingual models, guide multilingual data generation/selection, and annotate texts. - *Improvement and completion of typological databases. *Combining linguistic expertise with data-driven methods to advance knowledge of cross-linguistic variation and universals. - *Linguistic diversity and universals; cross-lingual annotation. *Which phenomena/categories should be considered universal? How should they be annotated? - *Using LLMs for typological studies. *Can LLMs help formulate/test typological hypotheses? Can they make valid cross-linguistic generalisations? - - *Additional topics include* constructed language generation, universals in diachronic language change, information-theoretic approaches to typology, and automated approaches to etymology. *Important Dates (23:59 AoE)* - *Direct submission deadline: December 19, 2025* - *Pre-reviewed (ARR) submission deadline: January 2, 2026* - *Notification of acceptance: January 23, 2026* - *Camera-ready deadline: February 3, 2026* - *Workshop date: During EACL 2026 (March 24–29, 2026; exact day TBA)* *Submissions* We invite extended *abstract submissions (non-archival) *and *general paper submissions (archival)*. The accepted submissions will be presented at the workshop, providing new insights and ideas. Extended abstracts should describe already published work or work in progress and should *not exceed two (2) pages*. This way, we will not discourage researchers from preferring main conference proceedings, while ensuring that engaging and thought-provoking research is presented at the workshop. For general (archival) submissions, we accept both long and short papers. Short papers should* not exceed four (4) pages, long papers should not exceed eight (8) pages.* Unlimited additional pages are allowed for the references section in all submission types. *Submissions should be anonymous, without authors or an acknowledgement section; self-citations should appear in third person.* *Format: * Submissions must follow the ACL 2025 stylesheet ( https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files), and both long and short paper submissions must follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings. All submissions must be in PDF format. Submission Link: https://openreview.net/group?id=eacl.org/EACL/2026/Workshop/SIGTYP *SIGTYP 2026: *https://sigtyp.github.io/ *Organizing Committee* Priya Rani, Michael Hahn, Andreas Shcherbakov, Oleg Serikov, Alexey Sorokin, Ryan Cotterell and Kat Vylomova *Anti-harassment policy* The workshop follows the ACL anti-harassment policy: https://www.aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=Anti-Harassment_Policy. *Contact* For any inquiries regarding the workshop, please send an email to the Organising Committee at sigtyp(a)gmail.com Regards, Priya.

This is by far the highest number of submissions (around 50% more than the previous highest number) in the 25 years of AAMAS. We still welcome submissions to the Demo Track, the DC Track as well as for tutorials. The Demo Track allows participants from both academia and industry to showcase their latest developments in agent-based and robotic systems. The DC (Doctoral Consortium) 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. 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. More information about the above calls, along with their respective important dates, are available on the AAMAS 2026 web site.

02 Dec '25

Dear all, I’m pleased to announce the release of AraFinNews, the largest Arabic financial-news summarisation dataset to date. GitHub: https://github.com/ArabicNLP-UK/AraFinNews HuggingFace: https://huggingface.co/datasets/drelhaj/AraFinNews Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.01265 AraFinNews includes 212,500 article–headline pairs (2015–2025) from reputable financial media, making it a strong Arabic counterpart to benchmarks like CNN/DailyMail. It provides clean structured text and article-level metadata, with ready-to-use splits for summarisation and for building downstream financial NLP tasks. Using this dataset, we evaluated mT5, AraT5, and the domain-adapted FinAraT5, with results demonstrating clear gains from financial-domain pretraining in headline generation.
