The HumanCLAIM workshop is back for its fourth edition. Join us in Göttingen for a human-centered perspective on language technology. We expect an interdisciplinary audience of researchers from computer science, linguistics, and cognitive science, and hope that many of you join us.
Date: 16th/17th of March, 2026 Location: Gauss’ historic observatory, Göttingen, Germany Participation is free of charge, but we have limited capacity. Please register before the 15th of December: https://clap-lab.github.io/workshop
Keynote Speakers: 1) Tessa Verhoef is the co-founder of the Creative Intelligence Lab at Leiden University. She works towards better understanding language evolution and will talk about her research on emergent linguistic structure in agent communication. 2) Terra Blevins leads the LiLaC lab at Northeastern University in Boston. She studies cross-lingual transfer and works on modeling approaches for low-resource languages to overcome the curse of multilinguality.
Poster session: The poster session is the heart of the workshop. Participants get the chance to discuss their work on multilingual and cognitively inspired modeling and receive feedback from interdisciplinary experts including Ece Takmaz (Univ. of Utrecht), Valentin Hofmann (Allen Institute for AI), Lukas Galke (Univ. of South Denmark), Sina Zarrieß (Univ. of Bielefeld), Stefan Frank (Univ. of Nijmegen), Miryam de Lhoneux (Univ. of Leuven), David R. Reich (Univ. of Zurich).
Idea pitches: You have an idea but lack expertise? We will make time for focused knowledge exchange in smaller groups. Several ongoing cooperations and grants have started at our workshop.
Workshop dinner: Our workshop focuses on personal interaction. We hope you join the group dinner on Monday evening.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. The HumanCLAIM organization committee: Lisa Beinborn, Urja Khurana, Zhuojing Huang, Luise Pohlmann
