Dear colleagues,
The submission deadline for the 6th Workshop on Computational Perspectives on Social Science (CPSS 2026), co-located with KONVENS 2026 in Hamburg, has been extended to ***July 10, 2026 (AoE)***.
CPSS brings together researchers from NLP, Computational Linguistics, Computational Social Science, and Computational Political Science to foster interdisciplinary exchange on computational approaches to studying social and political phenomena.
This year’s special theme is:
Can (and should) LLMs simulate human perspectives?
We especially invite submissions on the simulation of human perspectives with LLMs, including questions related to ethics, bias, data quality, evaluation, and reproducibility. We also welcome contributions on the broader spectrum of Computational Social Science and NLP, including topics such as language model bias, modeling complex social concepts, political communication, synthetic and human data quality, data leakage, open science, and interdisciplinary methodologies.
We invite three submission types:
* Archival papers (long and short papers, also via ARR) * Non-archival abstracts (1 page) describing ongoing or previously published work * PhD Forum submissions (2 page abstracts) for doctoral researchers at all stages
Important dates
* Direct submissions (archival and non-archival): July 10, 2026 (AoE) * ARR submissions (archival only): July 15, 2026 * Notification of acceptance: August 7, 2026
