7th International Conference on NLP & Information Retrieval (NLPI 2026) April 25 ~ 26, 2026, Copenhagen, Denmark https://csitec2026.org/nlpi/index Scope 7th International Conference on NLP & Information Retrieval (NLPI 2026) invites high quality research contributions from academia, industry, and government. NLPI has established itself as a global forum for presenting cutting edge advances in natural language processing, information retrieval, and the rapidly evolving landscape of AI driven language technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following Core NLP Tasks & Linguistic Foundations Tokenization, POS tagging, chunking, and shallow parsing Parsing, grammatical formalisms, and syntactic analysis Lexical semantics and semantic role labeling Discourse, pragmatics, and dialogue structure Phonology, morphology, and linguistic theory Linguistic resources, corpora, and annotation methodologies Large Language Models & Advanced NLP Foundation models and large language models (LLMs) Prompt engineering, fine tuning, and instruction following Hallucination detection and mitigation Multilingual, cross lingual, and low resource NLP Efficient NLP: compression, distillation, and acceleration Information Retrieval & Search Technologies Classical and neural IR models Retrieval augmented generation (RAG) Contextual, personalized, and interactive IR Evaluation of IR systems and relevance feedback Decentralized and federated search Social, multimedia, and multimodal IR Web scale search, ranking, and indexing Machine Learning for NLP & IR Deep learning architectures for NLP and IR Graph neural networks for text and knowledge graphs Statistical and knowledge based methods Representation learning for text and documents Contrastive learning and self supervised methods Online, continual, and lifelong learning Knowledge Representation & Reasoning Ontologies, taxonomies, and semantic web Knowledge graph construction and completion Decentralized knowledge representation Reasoning over text, graphs, and multimodal data Hybrid neuro symbolic approaches Generation, Summarization & Language Understanding Text generation, paraphrasing, and entailment Abstractive and extractive summarization Natural language inference (NLI) Controlled, safe, and ethical text generation Style transfer, simplification, and narrative generation Dialogue, Conversational AI & Speech Dialogue systems and conversational agents Task oriented and open domain dialogue Spoken language understanding and dialogue management Speech recognition, synthesis, and voice conversion Multimodal conversational AI Information Extraction & Text Mining Named entity recognition, relation extraction, event extraction Topic modeling, tracking, and subject indexing Text mining for scientific, legal, and biomedical domains Event and anomaly detection Trend analysis and large scale text analytics Sentiment, Social Media & Affective Computing Sentiment analysis and opinion mining Emotion, personality, and behavioral signal detection NLP for social media, misinformation, and online safety Computational social science and social network analysis Multimodal & Cross Domain NLP Vision language models (VLMs) Audio text, video text, and multimodal fusion Multimodal retrieval and generation Cross domain and cross modal transfer Machine Translation & Multilingual Technologies Neural machine translation (NMT) Low resource and unsupervised MT Evaluation of MT quality and bias Speech to speech and multimodal translation Ethics, Safety & Responsible AI Bias, fairness, and inclusivity in NLP and IR Privacy preserving NLP and federated learning Safety, robustness, and adversarial attacks Ethical considerations in language technologies Transparency, explainability, and model interpretability Visualization, Interaction & Human Centered NLP Visualization of NLP and IR results Human AI collaboration and interactive NLP tools Explainable interfaces for search and language models User centered evaluation of NLP systems Paper Submission Authors are invited to submit papers through the conference Submission System by February 01, 2026.
