10 Mar '26

ICMI 2026 2ND CALL FOR PAPERS ============================================ 5-9 October 2026, Napoli - Italy https://icmi.acm.org/2026/ ============================================ The 28th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2026) will be held in Napoli, Italy. ICMI is the premier international forum for advancing research at the intersection of multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) and social interaction to create technically innovative, effective, and human-centered multimodal interactive systems. A unique aspect of ICMI is its multidisciplinary nature, bringing together research in AI, multimodal data processing, human-machine, and human-human interaction to bridge behavioral understanding with technology, with an eye towards impactful applications that benefit people and society. Novelty will be evaluated along two dimensions: scientific novelty and technical novelty. Accepted papers at ICMI 2026 must demonstrate novelty in at least one of these two dimensions. The theme of this year's conference is "Context and Cultural Awareness for Multimodal Interaction", to explore how context and cultural factors influence multimodal interaction systems, including their design, implementation, and evaluation. We welcome papers that address the integration of contextual understanding, such as environmental, social, and emotional factors, into multimodal interaction systems. We also encourage contributions that explore cultural considerations in the development and deployment of interactive technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Affective computing and interaction * User-adaptive systems * Cognitive modelling and multimodal interaction * Context-aware modelling * Cross-cultural design and evaluation * Gesture, touch, and haptics * Healthcare, assistive technologies * Human communication dynamics * Human-robot/agent multimodal interaction * Human-centred AI and ethics * Interaction with a smart environment * Machine learning for multimodal interaction * Mobile and wearable multimodal systems * Multimodal behaviour generation * Multimodal datasets and validation * Multimodal dialogue modeling * Multimodal fusion and representation * Multimodal interactive applications * Novel multimodal datasets * Spoken/visual behaviours in social interaction * System components and multimodal platforms * Virtual/augmented reality and multimodal interaction Commitment to ethical conduct is mandatory, and submissions must adhere to ethical standards, in particular when human-derived data are employed. Authors are encouraged to consult the ACM Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (https://ethics.acm.org/). *** Important Dates Abstract deadline April 13, 2026 Paper Submission April 20, 2026 Rebuttal Period June 1, 2026 Paper notification July 6, 2026 Camera-ready paper July 23, 2026 Presenting at the main conference October 6-8, 2026 *** ACM Publication Policies ACM's New Open Access Publishing Model. Starting January 1, 2026, ACM will fully transition to Open Access. All ACM publications, including those from ACM-sponsored conferences, will be 100% Open Access. Authors will have two primary options for publishing Open Access articles with ACM: the ACM Open institutional model or by paying Article Processing Charges (APCs). With over 1,800 institutions already part of ACM Open, the majority of ACM-sponsored conference papers will not require APCs from authors or conferences (currently, around 70-75%). Authors from institutions not participating in ACM Open will need to pay an APC to publish their papers, unless they qualify for a financial or discretionary waiver. To find out whether an APC applies to your article, please consult the list of participating institutions in ACM Open and review the APC Waivers and Discounts Policy. Keep in mind that waivers are rare and are granted based on specific criteria set by ACM. Understanding that this change could present financial challenges, ACM has approved a temporary subsidy for 2026 to ease the transition and allow more time for institutions to join ACM Open. The subsidy will offer: * $250 APC for ACM/SIG members * $350 for non-members This represents a 65% discount, funded directly by ACM. Authors are encouraged to help advocate for their institutions to join ACM Open during this transition period. This temporary subsidized pricing will apply to all conferences scheduled for 2026, including ICMI.

by DIANDRA FABRE 09 Mar '26

09 Mar '26

** Appel à Participation (English Version below) ** Dans le cadre de la campagne d’évaluation ImageCLEF 2026 (associée à la conférence CLEF 2026), nous présentons la troisième édition de la tâche ToPicto . Lab ImageCLEF2026 - [ https://www.imageclef.org/ | https://www.imageclef.org/ ] (The CLEF Cross Language Image Retrieval Track) fait partie de la 17ᵉ édition de CLEF 2026 ( [ https://clef2026.clef-initiative.eu/ | https://clef2026.clef-initiative.eu/ ] ) et est organisé du 21 au 24 septembre 2026 à Jena en Allemagne. L'objectif de ToPicto est de réunir la communauté scientifique (linguistes, informaticiens, traducteurs, etc.) afin de développer de nouvelles méthodes de traduction permettant de convertir en une séquence de pictogrammes, soit un discours oral, soit un texte. Nous proposons en fait deux tâches distinctes : - Text-to-Picto , tâche qui permet, à partir d'un texte en anglais, la génération automatique de segments constitués de termes textuels en anglais déjà alignés avec des pictogrammes connus (pictogrammes ARASAAC — [ https://arasaac.org/ | https://arasaac.org/ ] ). Ce défi peut être vu comme un problème de traduction, où la langue source serait l’anglais et la langue cible un “anglais pictogrammé”. - Next-pictogram prediction , tâche qui permet de prédire le pictogramme suivant le plus probable après une séquence donnée. Plus d'informations sont disponibles ici : [ https://www.imageclef.org/2026/topicto | https://www.imageclef.org/2026/topicto ] Les données d'entraînement sont disponibles, à vous de jouer !

New Diamond OA Journal: Replication Research (R2)
by Elen Le Foll 09 Mar '26

09 Mar '26

Dear colleagues, Conducting independent replication and reproduction studies of past research findings has gained increasing importance in recent years, particularly in light of the interdisciplinary replication crisis affecting many research fields, including linguistics. For this reason, we have recently founded a new interdisciplinary journal, “Replication Research (R2)”, which is now open for submissions. Accepted formats include all types of replications, reproductions, and conceptual contributions on the topic of replication and reproduction research. Thanks to a multidisciplinary team of replication experts that includes three linguists, we accept submissions from multiple disciplines including (Corpus) Linguistics, Digital Humanities, and Qualitative & Quantitative Research Methods. We are aware that publishing replications and reproductions in this area can be challenging, which is why we have created a transparent, free, and high-quality journal. The journal is owned by the Münster Center for Open Science and FORRT and thus follows an open-science philosophy, operating under a sustainable diamond open-access model (free-to-read, free-to-publish, authors retain the rights to their article), embedding the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) principles within its journal guidelines, and enabling PCI (peer community in) review compatibility. If you would like to submit your research, check out our submission guidelines (http://replicationresearch.org) or send a pre-submission inquiry tocontact(a)replicationresearch.org. As methods for reproductions and replications are emerging across fields, we offer multiple types of support for authors, including manuscript templates and a replication handbook. You are welcome to forward this text to anyone who may be interested. For more information, see the journal page replicationresearch.org or get in touch!

Second call for article contributions: Upcoming edited volume on multiword expressions
by Filip Miletic 09 Mar '26

09 Mar '26

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce an upcoming volume on “Interdisciplinary, cross-lingual, diachronic and synchronic perspectives on the emergence and interpretation of multiword expression meanings”, which will be published by Springer. We now invite article contributions to this peer-reviewed volume. We welcome contributions from computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, and all other disciplines taking empirically grounded approaches to linguistic phenomena. TOPIC OVERVIEW Multiword expressions (MWEs) such as compound nouns (e.g. “loan shark”) and particle verbs (e.g. “take off”) provide a convenient way to express complex ideas, and new MWEs are often generated to refer to new or complex concepts. However, the extent and mechanisms by which new MWEs can be created, used, learned, and interpreted by humans and computational language models in an accurate and communicatively useful manner remains an open question. A key complicating factor is that MWEs can have multiple, sometimes opaque and idiosyncratic interpretations. Sometimes, these interpretations are fully determined by their constituents expressions; other times, they go beyond these in unexpected directions. One still underexplored factor behind these challenges are meaning changes of multiword expressions – or their constituent words – over time. In our edited volume, we aim to answer the following research questions: - Which properties characterize MWE meaning interpretation at their time of emergence? - What is the common ground (temporal and contextual) for MWE emergence? - Why is an MWE chosen at the time of emergence, in contrast to a simplex or complex alternative with the same or a similar interpretation? - How do MWE interpretations and degrees of transparency change over time or across domains? - What are useful and reliable MWE representations (in cognitive and/or computational models), especially regarding sparse-data conditions and sub-word tokenization? - What are useful and reliable cognitive and/or computational models for MWE meaning characterization and changes? HOW TO CONTRIBUTE If you are interested in contributing, please send your finalized, anonymized article (as a .pdf or .docx document) to the following email address: mwe-volume(a)ims.uni-stuttgart.de For formatting recommendations and further technical details, see here: https://sites.google.com/view/mwe-volume/ The article will undergo a double-blind peer-review process, with at least two reviewers. At the same time, by submitting an article, you also commit to providing up to two reviews for other contributions. We welcome inquiries ahead of submission time regarding the target topic areas or any other questions you may have. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for chapter submission: April 15, 2026 Deadline for reviews: June 15, 2026 Deadline for revised chapter submission: August 15, 2026 If you have any questions, please let us know. We look forward to your contributions!

09 Mar '26

RetroEval 2026: Symposium on Natural Language Generation Evaluations ============================================ 1-2 June 2026, Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom https://retroeval.github.io/ ============================================ Evaluation in the field of Natural Language Generation (NLG) has changed considerably over the past several decades. This special symposium in honour of Prof. Ehud Reiter’s retirement provides a forum for academic and industry researchers to look back on the topic of how evaluations in the field of NLG have changed and to explore unaddressed challenges. The two day symposium will be held in-person at the Sir Duncan Rice Library in the historic University of Aberdeen, June 1-2, 2026. For this symposium, we welcome submissions of long papers, short papers, and extended abstracts. *** Workshop Theme *** Ehud Reiter has been a leading light in Natural Language Generation (NLG) research throughout the four decades he worked in this area, in both academia (Aberdeen) and industry (CoGenTech; Arria NLG). Ehud’s influence extends to all aspects of NLG, but the areas in which it has arguably been the strongest is evaluation of NLG systems. On the occasion of his retirement, this workshop, which is held in his honour, will therefore focus on evaluation of NLG systems, highlighting in particular some of the topics that Ehud has tended to emphasize (see below) such as the importance of reproducibility and the risks of data contamination. *** Topics of Interest *** Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: -- The aims of NLG and NLG evaluation -- Intrinsic versus extrinsic NLG evaluation -- Evaluation of NLG systems in the real world -- Impact assessment of NLG systems and LLMs -- New evaluation challenges arising from the use of LLMs -- Hallucination annotation and its role in NLG evaluation -- Statistical analysis for NLG evaluations -- Data contamination in NLG evaluation -- LLMs as evaluators: opportunities and pitfalls -- The role of LLMs in the development of evaluation metrics -- Reproduction and reproducibility of human evaluation experiments -- Publication bias: What to do with negative results? -- Pre-publication of research hypotheses in NLG evaluation -- NLG evaluation versus psycholinguistic experimentation: what can we learn from each other? -- Disciplinary cultures and evaluation methods -- Evaluating NLG systems/LLMs for assistive technology *** Submission Types *** The workshop accepts the following submission types: • Long Papers (archival) • Short Papers (archival) • Extended Abstracts (non-archival) Accepted contributions will be presented as oral or poster presentations. *** Archival Submissions *** • Long papers: • Up to 8 pages (excluding references) • Unlimited references • Up to 2 appendix pages • 1 additional page in the final version to address reviewer comments • Short papers: • Up to 4 pages (excluding references) • Unlimited references • Up to 1 appendix page • 1 additional page in the final version for reviewer comments *** Non-Archival Submissions *** • Extended abstracts: • Up to 2 pages including references • 1 additional appendix page for tables/figures • Selection based on the symposium fit *** Submission Format *** • Two-column ACL 2026 format • LaTeX template only • PDF submissions only • Submissions via OpenReview *** Important Dates *** Note: All deadlines are 23:59 UTC-12. • ARR commitment deadline (archival): 16 March, 2026 • Direct paper submission deadline (archival): 24 April, 2026 • Direct paper submission deadline (non-archival): 1 May, 2026 • Notification of acceptance: 8 May, 2026 • Camera-ready deadline: 22 May, 2026 • Symposium dates: 1-2 June, 2026 *** Review Policy *** Long and short papers will follow ACL double-blind review policies.

[CFP] Workshop on Computer Vision × Education (CV4Edu 2026) @ CVPR 2026
by Janis Pagel 08 Mar '26

08 Mar '26

[Apologies for cross-postings] CALL FOR PAPERS CV4Edu: Computer Vision × Education: building a cross-community agenda for multimodal vision in classrooms In conjunction with CVPR 2026, June 3 or 4, Denver, CO, US. Website: https://cv4edu.github.io/ Computer vision (CV) plays a central role in multimodal human-centered AI, yet most models are trained on web-scale benchmarks that poorly reflect real classrooms. Educational data are noisy, private, small-scale, and multimodal (e.g., video, audio, text). Students’ cognitive/behavioral states (e.g., engagement, mind-wandering) and learning processes (e.g., self-regulation, collaboration) can be inferred from subtle multimodal cues (e.g., gaze, pose, facial features). Still, today’s models struggle to generalize to classroom data, limiting reliability in deployed human-centered applications (e.g., assistive technology, collaborative AI). CV4Edu brings together computer vision, natural language processing, human-computer interaction, and educational researchers to chart a community agenda for efficient, privacy-aware multimodal data-driven models that are more reliable in low-resource, real-world classroom settings — potentially launching shared datasets, metrics, and unified practices. Our goal is to support research that bridges CV, NLP, HCI, cognitive science, and the learning sciences/education communities. We welcome submissions both within and beyond education contexts—such as multimodal modeling, sensing, behavior forecasting, cognitive state inference, robotics, and embodied AI—provided they discuss transferability to classroom settings (e.g., what may break or carry over under noise, occlusions, viewpoints, multi-person dynamics, privacy constraints, limited annotations, distribution shift, hardware variability). *********************************** TOPICS The workshop topics include (but are not limited to): Multimodal classroom perception - Face, gaze, pose, gesture, posture, affect, and prosody - Video, audio, gaze sensors, and wearables (egocentric and exocentric) - Multimodal fusion, representation learning, and cross-view / multi-camera setups Language-centered multimodal learning analytics - Linking speech/text to video events, gaze/attention, and instructional context - Classroom NLP: ASR robustness, diarization, evaluating and mitigating bias, discourse modeling, dialogue/tutoring interactions, simplification, misconception detection - Retrieval-augmented classroom analytics, model adaptation, evaluation for learning-aligned outcomes Robustness & generalization - Domain shift beyond the lab, occlusions, noisy data, and missing modalities - Few-/low-shot learning, continual and on-device adaptation - Generalization across classroom layouts and populations Human behavior modeling for learning - Engagement, attention, affect, confusion, self-regulation, and metacognition - Collaboration, group dynamics, and teacher–student interactions - Gaze-informed models, saliency/scanpath prediction, activity recognition Temporal modeling & intervention - Sequential/temporal models of learning processes - Behavioral forecasting, early-warning systems, and interventions - Real-time inference, feedback, and human-in-the-loop systems Interpretability, reliability & evaluation - Interpretable models, uncertainty estimation, and calibration - OOD detection, fairness, and bias analysis - Evaluation protocols aligned with learning outcomes Privacy-aware, datasets & deployments - Privacy-preserving data collection, anonymization, de-identification, and governance - Annotation strategies, construct-aligned labeling, active learning, synthetic data, and dataset curation - Classroom-ready systems, scalable multimodal data-collection frameworks, edge/on-device inference, and real-world deployments **We encourage general computer-vision, visually grounded NLP, and human-centered, collaborative AI submissions (e.g., behavioral modeling, pose/activity recognition, gaze estimation, attention modeling, multimodal learning, methods “in the wild”, cognitive state inference and forecasting) that make a clear connection to educational/learning environments (even if primarily in the discussion).** *********************************** SUBMISSIONS The workshop invites submissions presenting original research, emerging ideas, datasets and benchmarks, systems, applications, and position papers advancing methods for real-world educational settings. We welcome both archival and non-archival contributions, including early-stage work and previously published research, with the goal of fostering discussion and community building. All submissions must follow the CVPR 2026 paper template and official style guidelines (https://cvpr.thecvf.com/Conferences/2026/AuthorGuidelines). **Archival Track (Full Papers)** Papers submitted to the Archival Track must present original, unpublished work and will be considered for inclusion in the official CVPR 2026 workshop proceedings. The main text must be 6–8 pages in length and formatted according to the CVPR 2026 submission guidelines. References and appendices are not subject to a page limit. **Non-Archival Track (Extended Abstracts + Short / Position Papers)** We invite non-archival submissions describing ongoing projects, preliminary results, datasets or benchmarks in progress, negative results, lessons learned, position papers, and work previously published elsewhere (including papers on arXiv or at other venues). These submissions will not be included in the official proceedings. Extended abstracts may be up to 2 pages and short/position papers up to 4 pages (excluding references), formatted according to the CVPR 2026 submission guidelines. Review Process - All submissions will undergo double-blind peer review. - Archival submissions will receive at least two reviews, followed by a meta-review. - Submissions must comply with CVPR policies. - An ethics/IRB checklist is required where applicable, and an optional ethics and broader impact statement may be included. Important Dates (AoE) - **Submission Deadline (All Tracks)**: March 12, 2026 - **Notification of Decision**: April 3, 2026 - **Camera-Ready Deadline (Archival Only)**: April 10, 2026 Submission Site Papers can be submitted through the OpenReview Submission Site (https://openreview.net/group?id=thecvf.com/CVPR/2026/Workshop/CV4Edu). *********************************** ORGANIZERS Ekta Sood: University of Colorado Boulder Joyce Horn Fonteles: Vanderbilt University Mariah Bradford: Colorado State University Paul Gavrikov: Independent researcher Prajit Dhar: University of Marburg Janis Pagel: University of Cologne Trisha Mital: Dolby Laboratories Gautam Biswas: Vanderbilt University Sidney D'Mello: University of Colorado Boulder Contact: cv4edu.cvpr(a)gmail.com
