[Lingtyp] Extended Deadline: Challenges for Computer-Assisted Language Comparison (Workshop at ICHL 2025)

[Frederic Blum]

Hi all,

We have extended the deadline for our workshop 'Challenges for 
Computer-Assisted Language Comparison' - to be held at ICHL 2025 - until 
October 18th. See the call below for further information.


On behalf of the organizers,

Frederic Blum

Invited Contributions

For the workshop that will — pending final evaluation — be organized as 
part of the 27th International Conference on Historical Linguistics in 
Santiago de Chile (18-22 August, 2025), we invite contributions from 
both classical and computational linguistics who present open problems 
and potential solutions in historical language comparison that have so 
far not been addressed sufficiently in computer-assisted approaches. Our 
hope is that we find a good mix of contributions in which classical 
linguists present problems that cannot be addressed by computational 
approaches and illustrate how they solve them manually, while we also 
hope for contributions by computational linguists who share recently 
developed workflows that can be applied to data in historical linguistics.

Contribution Information

Those interested in contributing to the workshop are kindly asked to 
send an abstract to ichl25 at calclab.org, attaching the abstract in the 
form of a DOCX document with an accompanying PDF, in anonymized form, 
providing your name and affiliation in the email. The deadline for this 
is October 18th. We will then review the contributions with an internal 
team of reviewers and inform all who submitted an abstract about the 
outcome. In case of success, the workshop will be held at the ICHL 
conference in Santiago de Chile. When submitting your abstract in DOCX 
form, please make sure that the abstract has no more than 800 words in 
length, excluding references (see also the official ICHL requirements 
for details at https://ichl27santiago.cl/about-us/"). Abstracts can be 
submitted in English and Spanish. You can find all the information here:
