Scope & Topics

Natural Language Processing is a programmed approach to analyze text that is based on both a set of theories and a set of technologies. This forum aims to bring together researchers who have designed and build software that will analyze, understand, and generate languages that humans use naturally to address computers.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to, the following

  • Applied NLP for healthcare, law, finance and education
  • Benchmarking, reproducibility and robustness
  • Cognitive modeling, psycholinguistics and language structure
  • Computational social science and digital humanities
  • Corpus creation, annotation and evaluation
  • Creative NLP (story generation, poetry, humor)
  • Crisis informatics and environmental NLP
  • Dialogue systems, conversational AI and agentic NLP
  • Educational NLP and intelligent tutoring systems
  • Embodied and interactive language agents
  • Foundation model training, adaptation, prompting and alignment
  • Human-AI collaboration and multi-agent communication
  • Information extraction and knowledge-augmented NLP
  • Large language models (LLMs) and generative AI
  • Low-resource and endangered language technologies
  • Machine translation and multilingual NLP
  • Model efficiency, compression and deployment
  • Multimodal NLP (vision-language, audio-language, video1language)
  • Neural retrieval and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
  • NLP tools, infrastructure and open-source ecosystems
  • Question answering and text understanding
  • Reasoning, factuality and verification
  • Safety, ethics, bias and responsible NLP
  • Semantics, discourse, pragmatics and text generation
  • Social media and cultural text analysis
  • Societal impact, policy and language rights
  • Speech processing and spoken language technologies
  • Theoretical foundations, interpretability and model analysis
