Description: AbjadNLP workshop is dedicated to advancing Natural Language Processing for languages written in, or historically adapted to, the Arabic script. It brings together researchers working on Arabic and its many dialects, as well as on other languages such as Urdu, Persian, Pashto, Sorani Kurdish, Sindhi, Malay (Jawi), Uyghur, Ottoman Turkish, Hausa Ajami, Fula, Wolofal, Swahili Ajami, and others. The workshop aims to foster collaboration, resource creation, and tool development for these often under-resourced languages, contributing to a more inclusive and multilingual NLP community.

Description: The AfricaNLP workshop has become a core event for the African NLP community and has drawn global attendance and interest for researchers working on African languages. In the current landscape, large language models (LLMs) have seen widespread use and significant innovation, yet African languages remain underrepresented. To address this disparity, the theme for the 2026 workshop is “Multilingual Multimodal LLMs.” We believe this is an especially timely theme as LLMs are becoming more multilingually capable, but their performance across other modalities such as images and speech continues to lag behind.
Organizers: Mubashara Akhtar, Rami Aly, RUI CAO, Yulong Chen, Oana Cocarascu, Zhenyun Deng, Zifeng Ding, Zhijiang Guo, Arpit Mittal, Michael Sejr Schlichtkrull, James Thorne, Chenxi Whitehouse and Andreas Vlachos
Description: With billions of individual pages on the web providing information on almost every conceivable topic, we should have the ability to reason about in a wide range of domains. However, in order to do so, we need to ensure that we trust the accuracy of the sources of information that we use. Handling false information coming from unreliable sources has become the focus of a lot of recent research and media coverage. In an effort to jointly address these problems, we are organizing the 9th installment of the Fact Extraction and VERification (FEVER) workshop to promote research in this area.

Description: The workshop provides a discussion panel for researchers working on MT systems/methods for low-resource and under-represented languages in general. We would like to help review/overview the state of MT for low-resource languages and define the most important directions. We also solicit papers dedicated to supplementary NLP tools that are used in any language and especially in low-resource languages. Overview papers of these NLP tools are very welcome.
Organizers: Murathan Kurfali, Vera Danilova, Ylva Söderfeldt, Julia Reed and Gavin Farrell
Description: This workshop will provide a forum for researchers studying medical and healthcare language in the humanities and social sciences to discuss and compare their use of both quantitative and qualitative methods in their research.

Description: We establish a dedicated venue for data, metrics, and methods for multilingual evaluation. Our goal is to advance and standardize system evaluation practices to enhance accuracy, scalability, comparability, and fairness, while integrating cultural and social perspectives into multilingual evaluation.

Description: The aim of the eighth edition of SIGTYP workshop is to act as a platform and a forum for the exchange of information between typology-related research, multilingual NLP, and other research areas that can lead to the development of truly multilingual NLP methods. The workshop is specifically aimed at raising awareness of linguistic typology and its potential in supporting and widening the global reach of multilingual NLP, as well as at introducing computational approaches to linguistic typology. It will foster research and discussion on open problems, not only within the active community working on cross- and multilingual NLP but also inviting input from leading researchers in linguistic typology. In 2026, we will additionally focus on the utility of LLMs for typological research.
Organizers: Matthias Assenmacher, Laura Biester, Claudia Borg, György Kovács and Margot Mieskes, Sofia Serrano
Description: Educators designing Natural Language Processing (NLP) and/or Computational Linguistics (CL) courses and degree programs face unique challenges due to the rapid progress of this field, particularly with the impact of generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs). Here, the challenge is two-fold: A) courses need to keep up with the pace in terms of the content covered, while B) it will be crucial for educators to adapt the course design accordingly, acknowledging the existence and the use of LLMs by students. Past efforts have led to the creation and revision of NLP courses and degree programs, as well as the development of new best practices and educational materials focused on emerging subareas of NLP.
Organizers: Oleg Serikov, Ekaterina Voloshina, Elena Klyachko, Ekaterina Vylomova, Éric Le Ferrand, Tatiana Shavrina and Shu Okabe
