International Conference
'LAnguage TEchnologies for Low-resource Languages' (LaTeLL '2026)
Fes, Morocco
30 September, 1 and 2 October 2026
www.latell.org/2026/ [1]
6th Call for Papers
The conference
Natural Language Processing (NLP) has witnessed remarkable progress in
recent years, largely driven by the emergence of deep learning
architectures and, more recently, large language models (LLMs).
Nevertheless, these advances have disproportionately benefited
high-resource languages that possess abundant data for model training.
By contrast, low-resource languages which account for at least 85% of
the world's linguistic diversity and are often spoken by smaller or
marginalised communities, have not yet reaped the full benefits of
contemporary NLP technologies.
This imbalance can be attributed to several interrelated factors,
including the scarcity of high-quality training data, limited
computational and financial resources, and insufficient community
engagement in data collection and model development. Developing NLP
applications for low-resource languages poses major challenges,
particularly the need for large, well-annotated datasets, standardised
tools, and robust linguistic resources.
Although several workshops have previously addressed NLP for
low-resource languages, _LaTeLL_ represents the first international
conference dedicated specifically to the automatic processing of such
languages. The event aims to provide a forum for researchers to present
and discuss their latest work in NLP in general, and in the development
and evaluation of language models for low-resource languages in
particular.

Special Theme Track 1 -- Building Applications Based on Large Language
Models for Low-Resource Languages
_LaTeLL'2026_ will feature a Special Theme Track dedicated to the
development of applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) for
low-resource languages.
This track aims to explore innovative methodologies, architectures, and
tools that leverage the power of LLMs to enhance linguistic processing,
accessibility, and inclusivity for underrepresented languages.
Contributions are encouraged on topics such as model adaptation and
fine-tuning, multilingual and cross-lingual transfer, ethical and
fairness considerations, and the creation of datasets and benchmarks
that facilitate the integration of LLM-based solutions in low-resource
settings.
Special Theme Track 2 -- Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Arabic
Dialects
This special track addresses the unique challenges and opportunities in
processing Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and the rich landscape of Arabic
dialects. The diglossic nature of Arabic, where the formal MSA coexists
with numerous, widely used spoken dialects, presents a significant
hurdle for NLP. While MSA is relatively well-resourced, Arabic dialects
are quintessential examples of low-resource languages, often lacking
standardised orthographies, annotated corpora, and dedicated processing
tools. This track invites submissions on novel research and resources
aimed at bridging this gap and advancing the state of the art in Arabic
language technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Dialect identification and classification
* Creation of corpora and lexical resources for Arabic dialects
* Machine translation between MSA and dialects, and across different
dialects
* Speech recognition and synthesis for dialectal Arabic
* Computational modelling of morphology, syntax, and semantics for
dialects
* NLP applications (e.g., sentiment analysis, NER) for dialectal
user-generated content
* Code-switching between Arabic dialects, MSA, and other languages
Submissions and Publication
_LaTeLL'2026_ welcomes high-quality submissions in English, which may
take one of the following two forms:
* Regular (long) papers:Up to eight (8) pages in length, presenting
substantial, original, completed, and unpublished research.
* Short (poster) papers:Up to four (4) pages in length, suitable for
concise or focused contributions, ongoing research, negative results,
system demonstrations, and similar work. Short papers will be presented

A DFG Programme Point Sud Workshop
Digital Humanities and Artificial Intelligence in African Studies:
Towards Sustainable and Equitable Practices
21–24 September 2026 · STIAS, Stellenbosch, South Africa
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The integration of digital humanities (DH) and artificial intelligence
(AI) is transforming the production of knowledge in African Studies,
offering new opportunities for innovative analysis, dynamic
visualisation and cross-cultural research. Yet this shift raises urgent
questions regarding equitable access, the representation of African
languages, and the suitability of methodologies. Current large language
models underrepresent African languages, digital scholarly
infrastructures remain optimised for English, and digitisation
pipelines
that produce AI-ready data are themselves shaped by political choices
about what to digitise, how to describe it, and who controls access.
While recent initiatives on digital sovereignty in Africa have centred
on policy and regulation, this workshop shifts attention to
methodological practice. It asks how DH methods and AI transform
research in African Studies, and how we can design, evaluate, and
sustain these methods under African conditions. By bringing together
scholars, independent researchers and practitioners from Africa,
Europe,
and beyond, the event will foster North–South and South–South dialogue
at the intersection of African epistemologies and digital methods,
moving from description to design.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
CONVENORS
- Frédérick Madore, University of Bayreuth
- Vincent Hiribarren, King's College London
- Emmanuel Ngue Um, University of Yaoundé 1
- Menno van Zaanen, South African Centre for Digital Language
Resources (SADiLaR)
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
THEMATIC AXES
The programme is structured around the following thematic axes:
1. Transforming Research Methods through AI and Digital Tools in
African Studies
This axis asks a fundamental question: how are AI and DH methods
changing the study of African cultures, languages, and histories?
Participants will present concrete uses of AI to analyse multilingual
texts, employ computer vision to study visual culture and historical
artefacts, and develop digital mapping to trace cultural movements and
connections. We will evaluate what works for different kinds of African
cultural materials, identify adaptations required for local contexts,
and specify where computational approaches can complement—rather than
replace—interpretive scholarship. The goal is clear: practical guidance
for integrating these methods while preserving the interpretive
richness
that defines the humanities.
2. Building Sustainable Research Infrastructures from African
Perspectives
Moving beyond policy discourse, this axis asks what it takes to build
and sustain digital research capacity within African institutions and
communities. We will examine practical obstacles—limited connectivity,
unstable funding, and scarce training data for local languages—and
showcase South–South collaboration models that have navigated these
constraints. Participants will share strategies for developing tools
that utilise available resources rather than assuming high-end
infrastructure. Key questions include how to keep research outputs
accessible to the communities being studied, how to train the next
generation of African DH scholars, and how to secure sustainable
funding
that does not depend solely on institutions in the Global North. The
focus is on concrete, scalable approaches to durable capacity.
3. Centring African Knowledge Systems in Digital Research Design
This axis poses a methodological challenge: how can digital research
tools respect and incorporate African ways of knowing? Rather than
retrofitting existing techniques to African materials, we explore how
African epistemologies can shape the tools themselves. Case studies
will
show community knowledge informing database structures, oral traditions
testing text-centred analytical frameworks, and local classification
systems improving standard metadata schemas. We will consider protocols
for culturally sensitive materials, interface design that does not
privilege European languages, and criteria to ensure that AI systems
trained on African data primarily serve African research needs. Here,
decolonisation moves from critique to construction.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
WORKSHOP FORMAT & LANGUAGE POLICY
The workshop will run in a hybrid format to maximise participation and
impact. In-person sessions at STIAS will be paired with remote access
via Zoom for those unable to travel. Participants will pre-circulate
draft papers in English or French one month in advance, each with a
bilingual abstract to support preparation. To address language
barriers,
the workshop will operate bilingually in English and French. Presenters
may speak in either language; where possible, a bilingual chair will
moderate discussion and provide brief consecutive interpretation where
needed. Recent advances in AI speech recognition and machine
translation
now enable near-real-time captioning; we will deploy these tools in the
room and on Zoom. All presenters will supply slides with bilingual
titles and key terms, and a one-page terminology handout in both
languages. Together, these measures encourage meaningful participation
in Africa’s Anglophone and Francophone communities, which are often
divided by institutional and linguistic boundaries, and provide
immediate, practical benefits for multilingual colleagues.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
We invite proposals for individual papers (20-minute presentations).
Submissions may be in English or French. Proposals of up to 500 words
should be emailed to the convenors by 30 April 2026. Each submission
must include: (i) a title; (ii) an abstract outlining the context,
central question, and methodological approach; and (iii) a 100-word
biographical note indicating the applicant’s discipline and
institutional affiliation.
Please send your proposals to the following addresses:
- Frédérick Madore: frederick.madore(a)uni-bayreuth.de
- Vincent Hiribarren: vincent.hiribarren(a)kcl.ac.uk
- Emmanuel Ngue Um: ngueum(a)gmail.com
- Menno van Zaanen: menno.vanzaanen(a)nwu.ac.za
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PUBLICATION
Our goal is to publish selected papers from the workshop as a special
issue in the Journal of the Digital Humanities Association of Southern
Africa (JDHASA), subject to agreement with the journal’s editorial
board. All submitted full papers will undergo peer review. Authors
whose
papers are selected for the special issue will be expected to revise
their manuscripts in line with reviewer feedback before final
publication.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SELECTION CRITERIA & INCLUSIVITY
Selection will prioritise gender equity, support for early-career
scholars based in sub-Saharan Africa, and balance across disciplines
and
regions. In addition to scholars, we will include
practitioner-developers by directly engaging the teams behind DH tools.
Their participation will help us to assess user needs and the
feasibility of embedding African ways of knowing in tool design. DH
remains gender-imbalanced; accordingly, the open call will explicitly
encourage applications from women and weight gender equity in review.
We
will intentionally include Africa-based, diasporic, and returning
scholars. Recognising uneven DH capacity, particularly in several
Francophone regions, we will aim for a majority of Africa-based
participants and amplify Francophone voices through targeted outreach
and reserved places for early-career researchers. The workshop will
uphold equal opportunity regardless of gender, religion, or other
sociocultural differences.

PRESENTATIONS
Presentation of accepted papers will be in both oral session and a
poster session. The decision on whether a presentation for a paper will
be oral and/or poster will be made by the Organizing Committee on the
advice of the Program Committee, taking into account the subject matter
and how the content might be best conveyed. Oral and poster
presentations will not be distinguished in the Proceedings.
SUBMISSIONS
We offer two submissions lengths: short (up to 4 pages) or long (up to 8
pages) paper. The length of submission does not influence the likelihood
of acceptance. Both paper types must include a section on ethical
consideration and a section on limitations; these sections are not
considered part of the page limit.
All submissions must be anonymous and will be peer-reviewed by the
scientific Program Committee. Papers must follow the style and
formatting guidelines provided in by ACL Style Files (download template
files for LaTeX: https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files).
Submissions that exceed the length requirements, or are missing a
limitations section, will be desk rejected.
Papers can be submitted to one of the workshop’s tracks: (a) language
community perspective and (b) academic perspective.
Submissions must be uploaded to SoftConf:
https://softconf.com/acl2026/ComputEL2026 by March 20, 2026 11:59PM
(UTC-12, “anywhere on earth”).
A. Short Papers:
Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished work.
They are max. 4 pages excluding references. They must include a section
on ethical consideration and limitations; these sections are not
considered part of the page limit. Please note that a short paper is not
a shortened long paper. Instead, short papers should have a small,
focused contribution or describe work in progress (“working paper”).
Short papers might not necessarily be intended for publication. Some
common kinds of short papers are negative results, opinion pieces,
interesting application nuggets, or descriptions of ongoing
collaborative teamwork.
B. Long Paper:
Long papers must describe substantial, original, completed and
unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis
should be included. Long papers are max. 8 pages excluding references
and appendices. They must include a section on ethical consideration and
limitations; these sections are not considered part of the page limit.
PROCEEDINGS
The Organizing Committee will select papers that have been accepted for
presentation for online publication via the open-access ACL Anthology.
Not all accepted papers for presentation are guaranteed inclusion in the
Anthology. Final versions of long and short papers that are accepted for
publication will be allotted one additional page (altogether 5 and 9
pages) excluding references. Papers accepted for inclusion in the
Anthology should be revised and improved versions of the work that was
submitted for, and which underwent, review. Any revisions should concern
responses to reviewer comments or the addition of relevant details and
clarifications, but not entirely new, unreviewed content.
FUNDING SUPPORT
Limited funding will be available for some accepted authors. A link to
apply for funding will be sent to submitters after the submission
deadline. Decisions on funding will be sent with notification of
acceptance. Priority will be given to individuals without institutional
support, for instance members of endangered language communities, other
unsponsored or under-sponsored presenters (e.g. student/faculty of
Linguistics Departments), and student presenters.

We are excited to share that NeTTIT’2026 will have a special theme with the goal of stimulating discussion around Large Language Models, Generative AI and the Future of Translation and Interpreting Technologies. While the new generation of Large Language Models such as CHATGPT, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek and LLAMA showcase remarkable advancements in language generation and understanding, we find ourselves in uncharted territory when it comes to their performance on various Translation and Interpreting Technology tasks with regards to fairness, interpretability, ethics and transparency.
The theme track invites studies on how LLMs perform on Translation and Interpreting Technology tasks and applications, and what this means for the future of the field. The possible topics of discussion include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Changes in (and the impact on) the translators and interpreters’ professions in the new AI era especially as a result of the latest developments in LLMs and Generative AI
- Generative AI and translation
- Generative AI and interpreting
- Augmenting machine translation systems with generative AI
- Domain and terminology adaptation with Large Language Models
- Literary translation with Large Language Models
- Translation for low-resourced and minority languages with LLMs
- Improving Machine Translation Quality with Contextual Prompts in Large Language Models

Second International Conference on Natural Language Processing
and Artificial Intelligence for Cyber Security
(NLPAICS'2026)
University of Alicante, Alicante, Spain
11 and 12 June 2026
https://nlpaics2026.gplsi.es/
Fourth Call for Papers
Recent advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Deep Learning and
Large Language Models (LLMs) have resulted in improved performance of
applications. In particular, there has been a growing interest in
employing AI methods in different Cyber Security applications.
In today's digital world, Cyber Security has emerged as a heightened
priority for both individual users and organisations. As the volume of
online information grows exponentially, traditional security approaches
often struggle to identify and prevent evolving security threats. The
inadequacy of conventional security frameworks highlights the need for
innovative solutions that can effectively navigate the complex digital
landscape to ensure robust security. NLP and AI in Cyber Security have
vast potential to significantly enhance threat detection and mitigation
by fostering the development of advanced security systems for autonomous
identification, assessment, and response to security threats in real
time. Recognising this challenge and the capabilities of NLP and AI
approaches to fortify Cyber Security systems, the Second International
Conference on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) for Cyber Security (NLPAICS'2026) continues the
tradition from NLPAICS'2024 to be a gathering place for researchers in
NLP and AI methods for Cyber Security. We invite contributions that
present the latest NLP and AI solutions for mitigating risks in
processing digital information.

Seventh Workshop on Resources for African Indigenous Languages (RAIL)
Co-located with LREC 2026
RAIL Workshop date: 12 May 2026
RAIL website:
https://sadilar.org/en/seventh-workshop-on-resources-for-african-indigenous…
Submission link for the RAIL workshop:
https://softconf.com/lrec2026/RAIL2026/
LREC Conference dates: 11-16 May 2026
LREC website: https://www.elra.info/lrec2026/
Venue: Palau de Congressos de Palma, Palma de Mallorca (Spain)
The Resources for African Indigenous Languages (RAIL) workshop provides
an interdisciplinary platform for researchers working on resources such
as data collections and annotations, Human Language Technologies (HLT)
and Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools, and their applications,
specifically targeted towards African indigenous languages. In
particular, it aims to create the conditions for the emergence of a
scientific community of practice that focuses on data, as well as
computational linguistic tools specifically designed for or applied to
indigenous languages found in Africa. The seventh Resources for African
Indigenous Languages (RAIL) workshop will be co-located with the
Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC) 2026 in Palau de
Congressos de Palma, Palma, Mallorca (Spain).
Many African languages are under-resourced while only a few are
considered to be somewhat better resourced. These languages often share
interesting properties such as writing systems, making them different
from most high-resourced languages. From a computational perspective,
these languages lack enough corpora to undertake high level development
of NLP and HLT tools, which in turn impedes the development of African
languages in these areas. During previous workshops, it was noted that
the problems and solutions presented were not only applicable to
African languages but were also relevant to many other low-resource
languages across the world. Because these languages share similar
challenges, this workshop provides researchers with opportunities to
work collaboratively on issues of language resource development and
learn from each other.
The RAIL workshop has several aims. First, the workshop brings together
researchers who work on African indigenous languages, forming a
community of practice for people working on indigenous languages.
Second, the workshop aims to reveal currently unknown or unpublished
existing resources (corpora, NLP tools, and applications), resulting in
a better overview of the current state-of-the-art, and also allows for
discussions on novel, desired resources for future research in this
area. Third, it enhances sharing of knowledge on the development of
low-resource languages. Finally, it enables discussions on how to
improve the quality as well as availability of the resources.
The workshop theme is “Creating resources for less-resourced African
languages”, but submissions on any topic related to properties of
African indigenous languages (including related non-African languages)
may be accepted. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to) the
following:
* Digital representations of linguistic structures
* Descriptions of corpora or other data sets of African indigenous
languages
* Building resources for (under-resourced) African indigenous languages
* Developing and using African indigenous languages in the digital age
* Effectiveness of digital technologies for the development of African
indigenous languages
* Revealing unknown or unpublished existing resources for African
indigenous languages
* Developing desired resources for African indigenous languages
* Improving quality, availability and accessibility of African
indigenous language resources
* Applications that make use of data collections of African indigenous
languages
Submission requirements:
We invite papers on original, unpublished work related to the topics of
the workshop. Submissions, presenting completed work, should adhere to
the LREC conference requirements. These requirements are described in
LREC’s authors kit: https://lrec2026.info/authors-kit/. The submission
should be double blind and each submission should be between four and
eight pages. Only oral papers should be submitted. The maximum number
of pages excludes a compulsory ethics statement, discussion on
limitations, and references and optional acknowledgements, as well as
data and code availability statements if applicable. Appendices or
supplementary material are allowed, but this information will not
necessarily be taken into account during the review process.
