CFP SemEval-2027 Task 4: Par-PARSEME - a multilingual shared task on paraphrasing of idioms
by Agata Savary 10 Sep '26

** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION** Par-PARSEME - a multilingual shared task on paraphrasing of idioms https://unidive.lisn.upsaclay.fr/doku.php?id=other-events:par-parseme Overview --------------- The PARSEME and UniDive communities are happy to introduce the Par-PARSEME, task 4 in SemEval-2027. It is a follow-up of previous shared tasks organized by PARSEME. Par-PARSEME is a shared task whose goal is to assess systems’ ability to **paraphrase idioms** in written texts. Idioms, such as a hot dog or to pull one’s leg, are subsets of multiword expressions (MWEs), and are combinations of words exhibiting non-compositional semantics. This makes them challenging for semantic tasks like paraphrasing. For instance, a hot dog can be paraphrased as a bread roll with a hot sausage but not as #a warm dog or #dog which is hot. The input for this task is a raw sentence containing exactly one idiom not explicitly marked in text. Systems must paraphrase the sentence so that the original idiom no longer occurs (which requires idiom identification), but the meaning is kept. For all details, see the Par-PARSEME website. Evaluation is done along 2 axes: **performance** (automatic and manual measures) and **diversity** (automatic measures). Quick links --------------- * Par-PARSEME website: https://unidive.lisn.upsaclay.fr/doku.php?id=other-events:par-parseme * SemEval 2027 webpage: https://semeval.github.io/SemEval2027/tasks * Par-PARSEME data repository: https://gitlab.com/parseme/sharedtask-data/-/tree/master/par-parseme?ref_ty… * Mailing list for the shared task participants: https://groups.google.com/g/par-parseme-semeval-2025 * Mailing list to contact the shared task organizers: parseme dash core at lisn DOT upsaclay DOT fr * Expression of interest form: https://forms.gle/yUbc2FWhPUU41Wma7 * Baseline system: https://github.com/racai-ai/mwe_baseline Languages --------------- Thirteen languages are covered in the training data: French, Georgian, Modern Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Latvian, Persian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Romanian, Slovene, Swedish, and Ukrainian.

UCCTS 2027 - Using Corpora in Contrastive and Translation Studies (9th edition)
by Karakanta, A. 08 Sep '26

08 Sep '26

*Leiden University Centre for Linguistics is organising the 9th edition of the Using Corpora in Contrastive and Translation Studies conference series in 2027.* UCCTS conference is a biennial international conference which was launched by Richard Xiao in 2008 to provide an international forum for the exploration of the theoretical and practical issues pertaining to the creation and use of corpora in contrastive and translation/interpreting studies. Since 2008 UCCTS conference series that took place, among other, in Louvain-la-Neuve (2018), Bertinoro (2021), Poznań (2023) and Hildesheim (2025) has played a key role in advancing contrastive and translation studies by giving scholars of the sister disciplines the opportunity to meet and engage in discussions on research outcomes and ideas on how to effectively apply, enhance and further develop corpus methods to move both fields forward. A selection of papers presented at UCCTS appeared in special issues of journals important in both fields or edited volumes published, for example, by Routledge or Bloomsbury. The 9th edition of the UCCTS conference will be held on *9-11th June 2027 in Leiden, the Netherlands*. The conference is planned to be an on-site event. However, we will try to also organise virtual presentation options. *CALL FOR PAPERS* UCCTS conference series are meant to bring together researchers who collect, annotate, analyze corpora and/or use them to inform contrastive linguistics and translation theory and/or develop corpus-informed tools (in foreign language teaching, language testing and quality assessment, translation pedagogy, computer-aided/machine translation or other related NLP domains). We invite original submissions that open to various topics within empirical contrastive linguistics and translation studies (see below). We welcome interdisciplinary contributions that combine corpus data with other types of empirical data (e.g. experiment) and allow for an interplay between different methods and data types. Moreover, we encourage contributions applying information and computational technologies including Large Language Models (LLMs). *Conference topics* include: * Quantitative approaches in corpus-based contrastive and translation/interpreting studies, in particular with multi-methodological designs (corpus-based, corpus-driven, experimental) and advanced statistical modeling * Computational methods derived from NLP and data mining (e.g. computational semantics, pragmatics) applied to contrastive linguistics and translation studies * LLMs for contrastive linguistics and translation research (data annotation, data analysis, etc.) * Method and data triangulation: combined use of corpus data and methods and other sources of data * New or remodeled theoretical frameworks relevant to corpus-based contrastive and translation/interpreting studies * Presentation of new resources for contrastive and translation studies (spoken and multimodal corpora, sign language (interpreting) corpora, transcript datasets, corpora of low-resourced languages, lexicons, databases, etc.) * Linguistic variation of various types, e.g. variation driven by register or genre variation, learner language, target audience, mode of production, etc. * Cognitive approaches to translation (and other language product) properties * Analysis of non-canonical forms of (multilingual) communication * Corpus use in translator training, foreign language learning/teaching * Corpus use in multilingual (e-)lexicography and terminology * Quality assessment in (automatic) translation and interpreting * Non-canonical forms of translation/interpreting and multilingual communication * Corpus analysis of translation between close languages, from a third language, non-native translation, indirect/relay translation, etc. * Analysis of accessible communication (e.g. intralingual translation, audio-visual and audio-descriptive forms, etc.) * Corpora and linguistic resources for low resource languages The submissions are to be made in the form of anonymized extended abstracts (in PDF) that should be between *800* and *1000* words long (excluding references) by *20th November 2027*. Apart from a clear outline of the aims and methods of the study, the abstracts should also provide (preliminary) results. The abstracts will be submitted in pdf through theOpen review system <https://openreview.net/group?id=UCCTS/2027/Conference#tab-your-consoles> and reviewed by at least two members of the scientific committee. The accepted contributions will be presented either as oral talks or as posters. * Important dates* * Conference abstract submission due: 20 November 2026 * Notification of acceptance: 29 January 2027 * Final abstract version due: 19 February 2027 * Registration open: 26 February 2027 * Early-bird registration: 9 April 2027 * *Conference date*: 9-11 June 2027 *For questions and requests, please contact uccts2027(a)hum.leidenuniv.nl*

Cf Participation SemEval-2027 Task 3: Semantic Change Across Multiple Time Periods.
by Nina Tahmasebi 08 Sep '26

08 Sep '26

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce the Call for Participation for SemEval-2027 Task 3: Semantic Change Across Multiple Time Periods. SemEval-2027 Task 3 investigates how word meanings evolve across multiple historical time periods. While previous shared tasks have focused on comparisons between just two time points, this task extends the setting to ten time periods, using a multilingual benchmark of approximately 120,000 human annotations, allowing participants to model the evolution of individual word senses over time. The benchmark spans six languages annotated across ten time periods ranging roughly 1880--2023: Swedish, English, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, and Russian (140 words in total). The task consists of two subtasks: - Subtask 1: Diachronic Word Sense Induction – discover how word meanings evolve over time without predefined sense inventories. Evaluated via two tracks: Track 1a, Diachronic Sense Assignment (BCubed F1), and Track 1b, Sense Dynamics (Spearman's rank correlation over Jensen-Shannon Divergence). - Subtask 2: Hypothesis-Driven Change Detection – given a target sense definition, identify which usages express that sense. Evaluated via Average F1-score. Register now to participate: https://www.codabench.org/competitions/17510/ Important Dates: - Training data ready: 1 September 2026 - Evaluation period: 10–31 January 2027 - Subtask 1: 10–21 January 2027 - Subtask 2: 22–31 January 2027 - Paper submission: February 2027 - Notification to authors: March 2027 - Camera-ready due: April 2027 - SemEval workshop: Summer 2027 (co-located with a major NLP conference) Additional Information: - Task website: https://www.changeiskey.org/event/2027-semeval/ - Mailing list: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/semeval2027-task3-SCxMTP Organizers: Nina Tahmasebi, Pierluigi Cassotti, Felix Morger, Lucia Siciliani, Eduardo Calò, Pablo Mosteiro, Stefano De Pascale, and Mariia Fedorova We look forward to your participation!
