*** Last Call for Workshop and Competition Proposals *** 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…> AAMAS 2026 received 1455 full paper submissions for the Main Track, after an initial submission of 1800 abstracts. This is by far the highest number of submissions (around 50% more than the previous highest number) in the 25 years of AAMAS. Workshops AAMAS 2026 invites proposals for the workshop program, which 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. We invite the submission of workshop proposals for review. We encourage workshops proposals that focus on emerging topics, open research questions and challenges, as well as broader subjects of interest to a wider community. Additionally, we welcome workshops with previous editions at AAMAS that can attract established communities working in the same research area. Workshops may vary in length from half a day to two days, though most are expected to last one full day. Attendance will be limited to registered participants, and both organizers and attendees must register for their workshop, which will have a separate fee from the main conference. Workshop attendees are not required to register for the main AAMAS conference if they do not plan to attend it, though this is highly encouraged. AAMAS 2026 will be an in-person event in Paphos, Cyprus. AAMAS 2026 reserves the right to cancel workshops if the registration numbers do not cover their operating costs. Competitions We are glad to announce the third edition of the AAMAS Competition track at AAMAS 2026. Competitions are 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. By proposing challenging competitions to the AAMAS community, competition proposers contribute to pushing the state-of-the-art in specific areas or to solving problems of practical importance. We invite competition proposals on topics of interest to the AAMAS community. We encourage submissions from emerging areas or novel application scenarios relevant to the AAMAS community. Submissions from established areas for which the competition may serve as a stimulus to advance theory and practice or renew the interest of young researchers in the area are also welcome. We highly value interdisciplinary topics that have the potential to attract a significant cross-section of the community. If the accepted competition involves the development of tools and platforms for supporting agent development, the proposer(s) will be encouraged to submit a Demonstration paper at AAMAS 2027 summarizing the design, development, and outcomes of their competition at the 2026 conference. At least one proposer of each accepted competition is required to register and attend the conference to run the finals of the competition and/or to announce the winners.

CfP - WHISPER 2026 - Workshop co-located with ITASEC & SERICS 2026
by angelica.liguori＠icar.cnr.it 05 Nov '25

05 Nov '25

1st Edition of the Workshop on Hidden Information, Steganography, Privacy, and Emerging Risks, co-located with ITASEC & SERICS 2026, Cagliari, Italy, February 09-13, 2026 *** Call for Papers *** Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly integrated into a wide range of domains, reshaping the landscape of information security. From synthetic content generation to intelligent system deployment, AI technologies now influence every layer of communication, data processing, and multimedia production. This evolution brings both opportunities and risks. On one hand, AI can enhance defenses by detecting hidden information, tracing content origins, and identifying covert channels; on the other hand, it can empower adversaries to design stealthier data-hiding methods, generate highly realistic steganographic media, and optimize side-channel attacks. Moreover, even AI can be watermarked or targeted by data exfiltration attacks, being a fundamental asset for campanies. In this context, the 1st Workshop on Hidden Information, Steganography, Privacy, and Emerging Risks (WHISPER 2026), co-located with ITASEC & SERICS, aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry to explore the intersection of AI, steganography, digital watermarking, and privacy. The workshop will focus on emerging risks, defensive and adversarial strategies, and the dual role of AI, as both a potential threat and a powerful safeguard, in the protection, tracing, and authentication of information. Topics of Interest Submissions are invited on all topics related to information hiding, watermarking, and privacy in the era of AI, including but not limited to: * Watermarking schemes, usages, and challenges, including model and content watermarking for intellectual property protection. * Novel cloaking mechanisms within models and/or datasets with robustness and fairness properties. * New threat models leveraging information-hiding techniques. * Secure watermarking of large language models, generative models and traditional machine learning models. * Deep learning solutions for detecting and generating covert communication. * Adversarial attacks and defenses in data hiding and watermarking. * Data-exfiltration attacks to AI models, including membership inference attacks and privacy leakages. *** Submission Guidelines*** Submissions must be written in English and provided in PDF format, adhering to the ITASEC conference template EasyChair style (https://easychair.org/publications/for_authors). Manuscripts should at most 10 pages in length, excluding references. We accept both previously published papers and original submissions presenting new ideas or preliminary results. All submissions will undergo peer review by at least two members of the Program Committee. *** Important dates *** * Paper Submission: 5 December 2025 * Notification: 20 December 2025 * Carmera-ready: 10 January 2026 * Workshop: 09 February 2026 *** Workshop organizers *** * Lorenzo Cazzaro, UNIVE & University of Luxembourg, Italy and Luxembourg * Daniela Gallo, ICAR-CNR & University of Salento, Italy * Angelica Liguori, ICAR-CNR, Italy * Luca Caviglione, IMATI-CNR, Italy * Giuseppe Manco, ICAR-CNR, Italy * Salvatore Orlando, UNIVE, Italy For more information: angelica.liguori(a)icar.cnr.it

Webinar by: Ivan Vulić (University of Cambridge / Google DeepMind)
by HiTZ Zentroa 31 Oct '25

31 Oct '25

**** We apologize for the multiple copies of this email. In case you are already registered to the next webinar, you do not need to register again. **** Dear colleague, We are happy to announce the next webinar in the Language Technology webinar series organized by the HiTZ research center (Basque Center for Language Technology, http://hitz.eus). We are organizing one seminar every month. Next webinar: Speaker: Ivan Vulić (University of Cambridge / Google DeepMind) Title: On Merging and MoErging Models and Modules Date: Thursday, November 6, 2025 - 15:00 CET Summary: Despite recent tendencies towards building large "monolithic" neural models, fine-tuned expert models and parameter-efficient specialised modules still offer gains over large monoliths in specific tasks and for specific data distributions (e.g., low-resource languages or specialised domains). Moreover, such modularisation of skills and expertise into dedicated models or modules allows for asynchronous, decentralised, and more efficient continuous model development, as well as module reusability. However, a central question remains: how to combine and compose these modules to enable positive transfer, sample-efficient learning, and improved out-of-domain generalisation. In this talk, after discussing the key advantages of modularisation and modular specialisation, I will provide an overview of prominent module and model composition strategies. I will focus on composition at the parameter level (model merging) and functional level (model MoErging), and then illustrate the usefulness of these techniques across several applications. Bio: Ivan Vulić is currently a Research Scientist at Google DeepMind in Zurich after spending a year there as a Visiting Researcher. Before that he was a Research Professor and a Royal Society University Research Fellow in the Language Technology Lab, University of Cambridge, where he spent 10 years across different research roles. From January 2018 until November 2024 he was also a Senior Scientist at PolyAI in London. Ivan holds a PhD in Computer Science from KU Leuven awarded summa cum laude. In 2021 he was awarded the annual Karen Spärck Jones Award from the British Computing Society for his research contributions to Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval. His core expertise and research interests span, among others, cross-lingual, multilingual and multi-modal representation learning, modularity and composability of ML models, sample-efficient, parameter-efficient and few-shot ML, conversational AI, data-centric ML.
