RESOURCEFUL 2025
Full day workshop – Call for papers! Submission deadline: December 9, 2024
The workshop is a continuation of the workshop series RESOURCEFUL, focusing on RESOURCEs and representations For Under-resourced Languages. The main goal of the workshop is to continue exploring the role of the type and quality of resources that are available to computational linguists as well as challenges and directions for constructing new resources in light of the latest trends in natural language processing, computational linguistics and artificial intelligence.
NB-REAL – Nordic-Baltic Responsible Evaluation and Alignment of Language models
Half day workshop (morning session) – Call for papers! Submission deadline: December 16, 2024
This workshop focuses on the responsible evaluation and alignment of Large Language Models (LLMs) for Nordic and Baltic languages.
Develop ethically-grounded, challenging benchmarks in Nordic and Baltic languages.
Create and encourage the development of culturally sensitive alignment datasets.
Promote research and collaboration on responsible LLM alignment techniques.
Discuss sustainable and ethical methods for collecting evaluation and alignment data.
Explore challenges specific to evaluation and alignment of LLMs for Nordic and Baltic languages.
NLP4Ecology – The 1st Workshop on Ecology, Environment, and Natural Language Processing
Half day workshop (afternoon session) – Call for papers! Submission deadline: December 16, 2024
This workshop will bring together the NLP community and stakeholders from various disciplines to explore how computational linguistics and NLP tools, methods, and applications can help address pressing climate change and environment-related challenges. We are particularly interested in contributions that push the boundaries of NLP research in the context of ecological and environmental crisis and that foster interdisciplinary collaboration.

Constraint Grammar and Finite State NLP – Rule-based and hybrid methods and tools for user communities
Full day workshop – Call for papers! Submission deadline: December 16, 2024
Traditionally, there has always been a strong user-oriented focus in the Constraint Grammar and Finite State Transducer communities. We would like to strengthen this work by providing a venue for their developers and researchers. In practice, NLP is nothing without its users, nevertheless most of the work presented in international conferences does not even mention a group of users or the reception of the tools. We therefore consider it important to continue the long work being done in this field and make the user aspect of NLP more visible in our workshop. Both applications and new methods that benefit a large user community of low, middle and high resource languages are intended to be the focus of this year’s workshop.
NLP4CALL 2025
Full day workshop – Call for (demo) papers! Submission deadline: December 16, 2024
The workshop series on Natural Language Processing (NLP) for Computer-Assisted Language Learning (NLP4CALL) is a meeting place for researchers working on integrating Natural Language Processing and Speech Technologies in CALL systems and exploring the theoretical and methodological issues arising in this connection. This year we are offering the MultiGEC shared task on multilingual grammatical error correction for L2 language learners. There are 12 target languages covered, namely Czech, English, Estonian, German, Greek, Icelandic, Italian, Latvian, Russian, Slovene, Swedish, and Ukrainian.
AAAS – Automatic Assessment of Atypical Speech
Full day workshop – Call for papers! Submission deadline: December 16, 2024
Automatic Assessment of Atypical Speech (AAAS) explores the assessment of pronunciation and speaking skills of children, language learners, people with speech sound disorders and methods to provide automatic rating and feedback using automatic speech recognition (ASR) and large language models (LLMs). The goal of this workshop is to present the latest results in ASA and discuss the future work and collaboration between the researchers in Nordic and Baltic countries.
