CfP: 10th Workshop on the Use of Computational Methods in the Study of Endangered Languages (ComputEL-10)
by Antti Arppe 21 Jul '26

21 Jul '26

ComputEL-10: Tenth Workshop on the Use of Computational Methods in the Study of Endangered Languages First CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop dates: March 2-3, 2027 Place: Honolulu, Hawaii, USA (hybrid) Submission deadline: October 2, 2026 Submission link: TBD ComputEL-10 will be co-located with the 10th International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation (ICLDC 10) in Honolulu, Hawaii. ComputEL-10 and ICDLC 10 do **not** have joint registration. If you wish to attend ICDLC 10, visit their website: https://ling.lll.hawaii.edu/sites/icldc/. ComputEL-10 explores the interface and intersection of computational linguistics, documentary linguistics, and community-based efforts in language revitalization and reclamation. We encourage submissions that present their work from an interdisciplinary perspective with a focus on one of three areas: (i) Academic: develop new methods or technologies for tasks or applications focused on low-resource, and in particular, endangered languages; propose models in the study or processing of under-documented languages; or evaluate tools or methods for curation and analysis of data in such languages, oriented towards language documentation, description, reclamation and revitalization; (ii) Community: develop new technology toward the goals of language reclamation, revitalization, including language teaching and acquisition; propose new models for the collection, management, and mobilization of language data in community settings, with attention to issues of data sovereignty and community protocols and involvement; describes new uses of language technology by the language's community; (iii) Collaboration: describe challenges and rewards in past or on-going collaboration and interaction among computer scientists and/or documentary linguists that involve(d) language communities; formulate concrete steps for a more fruitful interaction among computer scientists, documentary linguists, and language communities. Note: priority will be given to descriptions of actual collaborations (successful or unsuccessful) over proposals or position papers. (For an example, see Cox et al. 2025: https://aclanthology.org/2025.computel-main.12/) IMPORTANT DATES 2 October, 2026 Deadline for submission of papers 13 November 2026 Notification of Acceptance 2-3 March 2027 Workshop SUBMISSIONS We offer two types of submissions: abstracts and papers. Please carefully read the requirements below. Submissions that do not fulfill all relevant requirements will be desk-rejected. The type of submission does not influence the likelihood of acceptance. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS All submissions must be anonymous. Both submission types have the same deadline. Authors may submit no more than two submissions where they are co-author. In no case may an author submit more than one individually- or first-authored submission. Authors must submit and present in English. Proposals will undergo blind review, so please do not list your name, affiliation, or contact information within the file. (Author names appearing in reference lists or citations are fine and do not need to be anonymized.) ABSTRACTS Abstracts clearly describe the content that author intends to present to the ComputEL-10 audience. Abstracts are max. 800 words not including title or references. Abstracts will NOT be published (in the Proceedings of the workshop in ACL Anthology). Abstracts are intended for academics not accustomed to publishing in proceedings or non-academic community members wishing to share with and receive feedback from the other communities. Upload your abstract as a PDF or MS Word file. PAPERS Paper submission can be of two lengths: short (up to 4 pages) or long (up to 8 pages) paper. The length of submission does not influence the likelihood of acceptance. Both paper types must include a section on ethical consideration and a section on limitations; these sections are not considered part of the page limit. Papers must follow the style and formatting guidelines provided in by ACL Style Files (download template files for LaTeX: https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files). Submissions that violate anonymity, exceed the length requirements, or are missing an ethics or a limitations section will be desk rejected. ACL has discontinued making available a submission template for Microsoft Word. Therefore, we strongly recommend using the above LaTeX template with Overleaf, which enables WYSIWYG editing. Nevertheless, we do allow the use of the older ACL Microsoft Word template: https://2023.aclweb.org/calls/style_and_formatting/. While we intend to help accepted authors convert their paper into a format acceptable for ACL Anthology, we may not be able to resolve all potential discrepancies. Therefore, using the MS Word template may run the risk of not being accepted for publication. If you wish assistance with LaTeX, please email soon. A. Short Paper: Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished work. They are max. 4 pages excluding references and sections on ethical consideration and limitations. A short paper is not a shortened long paper. Instead, short papers have a small, focused contribution or describe work in progress (“working paper”). Recommended topics for short papers include pilot studies, negative results, opinion pieces, interesting application nuggets, or descriptions of initial collaborative teamwork. B. Long Paper: Long papers must describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished work. Long papers are max. 8 pages excluding references and appendices and sections on ethical consideration and limitations. Wherever appropriate, concrete qualitative and quantitative evaluation and analysis should be included. PROCEEDINGS The Organizing Committee will select from the papers (excluding all abstracts) that have been accepted for presentation at the workshop for online publication via the open-access ACL Anthology. Not all accepted papers for presentation are guaranteed inclusion in the publication. Long and short papers that are accepted for publication will be allotted one additional page (altogether 5 and 9 pages) excluding references and ethics and limitations sections. Papers accepted for inclusion in the Anthology must be revised versions of the work that underwent ComputEL-10 review. Revisions and improvements should address reviewer comments or add relevant details and clarifications, but should not include entirely new, unreviewed content.

Call for workshop proposals for the 2027 conference cycle
by ACL Announcements 20 Jul '26

20 Jul '26

Joint Call for Workshops Proposals (EACL/COLING/NAACL/ACL/EMNLP) 2027 The Association for Computational Linguistics invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with one of the following conferences: EACL 2027, COLING 2027, NAACL 2027, ACL 2027, or EMNLP 2027. We solicit proposals in all areas of computational linguistics, broadly conceived to include related disciplines such as linguistics, speech, information retrieval, and multimodal processing. Workshops will be held at one of the following conference venues: * EACL 2027 (The 20th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics), which will be held as a hybrid conference, and physically held in Athens, Greece, from March 9-14, 2027. * COLING 2027 (The 32nd International Conference on Computational Linguistics), which will be held as a hybrid conference, and physically held in Macau, China, from May 9-14. * NAACL 2027 (The 2027 Annual Conference of the Nations of the Americas Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics), which will be held as a hybrid conference, and physically held in San Francisco, USA, June 1-5, 2027. * ACL 2027 (The 65th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics), which will be held as a hybrid conference in the summer of 2027, physically held in Japan August 17-22. * EMNLP 2027 (The 2027 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing), which will be held as a hybrid conference, tentatively scheduled for early November 2027 and physically held in Mexico or Central America. The workshop and tutorial co-chairs will work together to assign workshops to the conferences. They will take into account location preferences and technical constraints provided by the workshop proposers. _This call is for all listed conferences occurring in 2027; unlike last year, there will not be a second call for workshops for this conference cycle._ IMPORTANT DATES ACL Conferences Workshop Proposals Shared Dates: Proposal submission deadline September 4th, 2026 Notification of acceptance October 2nd, 2026 All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 ("anywhere on Earth"). SUBMISSION INFORMATION Proposals should be submitted as PDF documents. Note that submissions should be ready to be turned into a Call for Papers to the workshop within one week of notification. The proposals should be _at most two pages_ for the main proposal and at most two additional pages for information about the organizers, program committee, and references. Please use the LaTeX template [1] for your submission. _Failure to comply with these formatting guidelines, or to provide the listed information below, will result in a desk rejection of your proposal._ The two pages for the main proposal must include: * A title, short name / acronym, and a brief description of the workshop topic and content. * Some conferences might take place only or partially virtually. We request submissions to contain a brief discussion of planned measures to make sure a workshop is successful and productive in case of a hybrid or virtual-only attendance. * A description of special requirements and technical needs. * If the workshop has been held before, details on: how many prior editions occurred, where previous workshops were held, how many submissions the workshop received in the last iteration and how many papers were accepted (also specify if they were not regular papers, e.g., shared task system description papers), and an estimate of how many in-person attendees the workshop attracted. * Diversity and Inclusion Efforts (see more details below) * (Optional/If Known) A list of invited speakers, with an indication of which ones have already agreed and which are tentative, and sources of funding for the speakers. * (Optional) A description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop, and estimate of the number of participants. Having a shared task is optional. The submission form will request information that does not factor into the decision process, but are necessary for logistical reasons: * An estimate of the maximum number of attendees at one given time * Number of estimated in-person posters * Preferred Venue (first and second preference). Providing a second preferred venue is _optional_; while we will do our best to adhere to these preferences, we cannot guarantee that they will be satisfied. * Incompatible Venues. Please list any conferences that you will be unable to be co-located with for logistical reasons. _We will assume that any venue that is not listed here is a viable location for your workshop, and withdrawing based on venue will result in a one-year ban on all organizers from submitting workshop proposals._ * Duration of the workshop (1-day / 2-day workshop) Note that the only financial support available to workshops is a single free workshop registration for an invited speaker. The workshop organizers must bear all other costs independently, including registration for more than one invited speaker. The two pages for information about organizers, program committee, and references must include: * The names, affiliations, and email addresses of the organizers, with a brief statement (2-5 sentences) of their research interests, areas of expertise, and prior experience in organizing workshops and related events. * A list of Program Committee members, with an indication of which members have already agreed. Organizers should do their best to estimate the number of submissions (especially for recurring workshops) in order to (a) ensure a sufficient number of reviewers so that each paper receives 3 reviews, and (b) anticipate that no one is committed to reviewing more than 3 papers. This practice is likely to ensure on-time and thoughtful reviews. * An indication if the workshop will consider papers submitted through ACL Rolling Review (ARR); use OpenReview as a platform (both to take papers from ARR and for their own review); or whether the workshop will only use START as a platform, and will not use ARR. In making this choice, please pay careful attention to the ARR deadlines and conference notifications. * References Submission is electronic at the following link: https://softconf.com/p/acl-workshops2027/ If you are resubmitting a proposal from the previous call, please create a new submission to be considered in this review process. DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION The proposals should describe the ways your workshop will support diversity in NLP. We suggest organizers consider the following points, while developing the proposal: * Contribution to academic diversity: The proposals could explain how the subject matter of the workshop will contribute to the diversity of the field, e.g. use of multilingual data, indications of how the described methods scale up to various languages or domains, accessibility of resources, supporting underrepresented communities of NLP and so on. * Diversifying representation: Following the WiNLP [2] initiative, we recognize the current problems of demographic imbalance in the field. Therefore, we particularly encourage submissions including members of under-represented groups in computational linguistics. The proposals should describe how their selection of invited speakers, panelists, organizers, and program committee promotes diverse representation (for example, considering underrepresented demographics based on gender, ethnicity, nationality, and so on). We also suggest including speakers and panelists, who have not appeared as a keynote speaker or panelist in recent conferences. * Diversifying participation: The proposals could describe how the call-for-papers and outreach will encourage people from marginalized groups to attend and submit to the workshop. Some examples include providing mentoring, subsidies, coordinating with affinity groups, diversifying the selection of papers and so on. Please note that the conferences' D&I Chairs focus on supporting main conference participants, and supporting and sponsoring workshop participants is the responsibility of the individual workshops. ORGANIZER RESPONSIBILITIES The organizers of the accepted proposals will be responsible for publicizing and running the workshop, including reviewing submissions, producing the camera-ready workshop proceedings, organizing the meeting days, and playing their part to ensure that all participants are aware of ACL's anti-harassment policy. It is crucial that organizers commit to all deadlines. In particular, failure to produce the camera-ready proceedings on time will lead to the exclusion of the workshop from the unified proceedings and author indexes. Workshop organizers cannot accept submissions for publication that will be (or have been) published elsewhere, although they are free to set their own policies on simultaneous submission and review. However, it is worth noting that workshops may also accept non-archival submissions, such as findings papers, for presentation, which are allowed in this case. Since the conferences will occur at different times, the timelines for the submission and reviewing of workshop papers, and the preparation of camera-ready copies, will be different for each conference. Suggested timelines for each of the conferences are given below. The workshop organizers are free to deviate from the proposed schedule for all dates that are not marked as inflexible, though changes should be made in consultation with the relevant workshop chairs. In submitting a proposal, workshop chairs will be asked to agree to the workshop non-compliance policy [3]. All workshops must agree to this policy, which states that egregious cases of not living up to the responsibilities of running a workshop will be penalized by a 1-year ban on the organizers from submitting another workshop proposal. Workshop proposals for which all authors do not agree to this policy will be desk-rejected. The ACL has a set of policies on workshops. You can find the ACL's general policies on workshops, the financial policy for workshops, and the financial policy for SIG workshops in the Conference Handbook [4]. Review Process Workshop proposals will be holistically reviewed by a committee of workshop chairs and the ACL workshop officers based on: their originality and impact, the experience of the Organizing and Program Committees, and adherence of the workshop proposal to ACL's code of ethics, including a discussion of the ethical considerations for the workshop topic if relevant. In addition to the proposals themselves, acceptance decisions will take into account the diversity of accepted topics, particularly in areas underrepresented in main conference spaces, to ensure a well-balanced and relevant workshop program. A well-written proposal can be rejected if it does not bring a new perspective to the workshop program, and we may merge workshops that propose similar programs. This committee will also allocate workshops to the conferences included in the call, taking into account the location preferences and technical constraints given in the workshop proposal. However, the aim of the review process is to accept as many high-quality, diverse workshops as possible. Given space limitations at conference venues and the increasing number of workshop proposals, the review committee can not guarantee that a proposal will be co-located with their preferred venue in lieu of extenuating circumstances.

Recruitment of Research Annotator - AddressHate
by kglanz＠addresshate.org 17 Jul '26

17 Jul '26

Job Location: New York City, USA Web Address: https://www.addresshate.org/ Job Title: Research Annotator Job Rank: Other Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics; Lexicography; Sociolinguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics Specialty Language(s): English (eng, stan1293) English based Description: Research Annotator AddressHate · Part-time · US-based (Eastern Time preferred; NYC-based ideal) About AddressHate: Hate speech online is growing faster than any organization can track by hand. AddressHate is building the tools to change that. We are a public interest technology company at the intersection of research, AI, and policy. We build detection infrastructure and intelligence tools that help platforms, policymakers, educators, civil society organizations, and real people understand and counter digital hate in real time. There is no good solution in the for-profit world for this problem, so we are building it. Our mission and the business are the same thing: the better we get at detecting hate, the more valuable our tools become to the world. The Opportunity: AddressHate is hiring Research Annotators to support our core mission: building detection infrastructure that identifies how hate circulates, adapts, and normalizes in digital environments. This is a direct hire position with AddressHate. All work product — including annotated datasets, analytical memos, and contributions to coding schemes — is owned by AddressHate. We’re looking for annotators with high sensitivity to the layered, implicit, and multimodal forms hate takes online — particularly where meaning is carried through irony, coding, visual reference, intertextual play, and shifting register across platforms. Rather than mechanical tagging, the position requires theory-informed interpretive work that feeds directly into AddressHate’s annotation pipeline and classifier development. Our work demonstrates that a large portion of hate content in mainstream digital spaces operates through implicit, coded, or multimodal forms — spread through irony, political framing, and shared references that are largely undetectable by automated systems. Understanding this requires human expertise grounded in linguistics, multimodal analysis, and discourse studies. The role is US-based (Eastern Time preferred; NYC-based ideal) and reports into AddressHate’s research and technology teams. Core Responsibilities: - Conduct continuous, systematic annotation of social media content across platforms including TikTok, X, Instagram, and Reddit - Analyze textual, visual, and multimodal content, including memes, image–text combinations, and visual rhetoric - Identify implicit meanings, indirect references, metaphors, narrative frames, and visual-symbolic cues - Identify shared rhetorical and discursive mechanisms across hate domains — including dehumanization, conspiracy narratives, victim–perpetrator reversal, moral inversion, and normalization strategies - Analyze intersecting and overlapping hate discourses, including cases where antisemitism, misogyny, and racism co-occur or mutually reinforce one another - Distinguish between legitimate political expression and harmful discourse, with close attention to context, pragmatics, and discursive positioning - Participate in regular team meetings and inter-annotator calibration sessions - Contribute to the iterative refinement of AddressHate’s coding schemes, category definitions, and annotation guidelines - Work closely with AddressHate’s data science team, translating qualitative insights into structured input for computational analysis - Produce analytical memos and structured documentation that make interpretive decisions transparent and reproducible What We’re Looking For: - MA or PhD student (or completed degree) in Linguistics, Discourse Studies, Semiotics, Visual Studies, Media Studies, Hate Studies, History, Political Science, or related field. Candidates with a background in linguistics and multimodal/visual analysis are particularly valued. - Demonstrated experience with qualitative content analysis, discourse-analytical methods, and mixed methods research - High awareness of the different layers of hate speech and digital hate — including implicit, coded, ambiguous, and context-dependent forms in both text and imagery - Native or near-native English proficiency with strong language sensitivity - Fluency with contemporary social media platforms, particularly TikTok, X, Instagram, and Reddit - Openness and resilience to engage with hate speech content, including antisemitism, different forms of racism, and misogyny - High motivation and capacity for autonomous work. The role involves sustained, continuous engagement with difficult online content. Strong candidates structure their time independently and maintain rigor and momentum across long annotation cycles. - Curiosity and flexibility. AddressHate’s annotation work is a collaborative environment where coding schemes evolve, new platforms enter the pipeline, and analytical questions sharpen over time. Strongly Preferred: - Research experience across more than one hate ideology — antisemitism, misogyny and gender-based hate, anti-Black racism, anti-Asian racism, or intersectional hate research. We particularly value candidates who can think comparatively across domains rather than specialists in only one. - Experience with multimodal analysis (memes, visual rhetoric, image–text relations) - Experience with MAXQDA or comparable qualitative analysis software - Strong written documentation skills - Based in or near New York City Why Now: By the time hate’s effects are visible in the world, the discourse that produced it has long since moved on. AddressHate is building the infrastructure to see it as it happens — and to understand what it means. The analytical tools we develop inform education, policy, and platform governance. This role sits at the center of that work. Terms: 20–30 hours per week · $25 USD per hour · Hired directly by AddressHate To Apply: Send your CV, a short statement of interest, and one writing sample (academic or analytical) to careers(a)addresshate.org Application Deadline: 31-Oct-2026 Mailing Address for Applications: 152 W 57th St 21st Floor, New York City, New York USA Email Address for Applications: careers(a)addresshate.org Web Address for Applications: https://www.addresshate.org/ Contact Information: Email: careers(a)addresshate.org

Third Call for Papers 13th Web-as-Corpus (WaC-13) Workshop @EMNLP2026, Budapest, Hungary, 29 Oct, 2026 https://wackyworkshop.org The World Wide Web has evolved from a resource for building linguistic corpora into the central data infrastructure powering modern natural language processing and Large Language Models (LLMs). As web-scale data increasingly shapes AI systems’ knowledge and capabilities, understanding its quality, representativeness, and ethical implications has become critical. At the same time, the “more is better” paradigm is being challenged by issues such as machine-generated content, data toxicity, limited metadata, and the under-representation of many languages and domains. These challenges call for a shift toward Data-Centric AI, focusing on the curation, analysis, and responsible use of web-derived data. The 13th Web-as-Corpus (WaC-13) workshop provides a multidisciplinary forum for research addressing the full lifecycle of web data. We invite submissions on methods, resources, and applications related to web corpora, with special emphasis on multilingual data and less-resourced languages. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Creation and evaluation of high-quality datasets for foundation models (e.g., data collection, filtering, enrichment, language identification) * Use of web data in empirical linguistic research * Analysis of web-scale corpora for quality, representativeness, and societal insights * Ethical and legal aspects of collecting, sharing, and using web data By bringing together researchers from NLP, linguistics, and the social sciences, WaC aims to advance best practices for one of the field’s most influential data sources. Important dates Direct paper submission deadline 7 August, 2026 Pre-reviewed ARR commitment deadline 1 September, 2026 Notification of acceptance 5 September, 2026 Camera-ready paper due 20 September, 2026 Workshop date 29 Oct, 2026 Submissions Submit your papers through https://openreview.net/group?id=EMNLP/2026/Workshop/WaC-13 (both archival and non-archival option available) or through ARR commitment https://openreview.net/group?id=EMNLP/2026/Workshop/WaC-13_ARR_Commitment.
