Call for abstracts, UniDive 4th general meeting, Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence of the Romanian Academy, Romania, Bucharest, 27-28 August 2026
UniDive is a COST action, i.e. a scientific network, dedicated to universality, diversity and idiosyncrasy in language technology. It is structured around 4 Working Groups:
- WG1: Corpus annotation
- WG2: Lexicon-corpus interface
- WG3: Multilingual and cross-lingual language technology
- WG4: Quantifying and promoting diversity
The fourth general meeting of the action will take place on 27-28 August 2026 at the Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence of the Romanian Academy in Bucharest, Romania. We invite UniDive WG members to submit abstract proposals related to the scientific program of the WGs. As this is the last UniDive general meeting, abstracts emphasizing the outcomes and results of UniDive activities are encouraged.
Proposals may describe diverse types of contributions, according to 3 different tracks:
- Complete work (including previously published work)
- Work-in-progress
- Planned work
A proposal should be anonymous, written in English and submitted in pdf only. It should include (on the title page) the list of the relevant WGs. It should not exceed 2 pages, including figures and tables (bibliographic references may go beyond the 2-page limit). If linguistic examples from languages other than English are included, those should be glossed and translated into English, and an extra half a page is allowed for this purpose.
For the sake of uniformity and easing the reviewers’ effort, we encourage authors to use the Overleaf Latex template. Other formats (not necessarily Latex-based) can also be used, provided that they conform to the following specifications: A4 paper, 11pt font, 1in margins.
The submission link is: https://openreview.net/group?id=UniDive/2026/General_Meeting
The reviewing process is double-blind. The selection of proposals will be done by the UniDive Program Committee according to the following criteria:
- relevance to UniDive and the deliverables of its Working Groups (see https://unidive.lisn.upsaclay.fr/doku.php?id=working_groups ), with abstracts presenting the outcomes and results of UniDive activities prioritized;
- clarity;
- diversity of the languages covered by the workshop program.
The selected proposals will be presented at the 4th UniDive general meeting as posters and/or oral presentations.
At least one author per selected proposal will be reimbursed for their travel and stay.
ATTENTION! Each corresponding author of the submitted abstracts will be automatically assigned the role of reviewer for this event (the review period will take place 6–30 April 2026; we expect no more than 3-4 abstracts of two pages each per reviewer).
