2nd International Conference on Natural Language Processing and
Artificial Intelligence for Cyber Security
Short Title: NLPAICS'2026

Date: 11-Jun-2026 - 12-Jun-2026
Location: Alicante, Spain
Meeting URL: https://nlpaics2026.gplsi.es/

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics

Submission Deadline: 16-Mar-2026

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.
Conference Topics:
The conference invites submissions on a broad range of topics related
to the employment of NLP and AI (and in general, language studies and
models) for Cyber Security, including but not limited to:
Societal and Human Security and Safety
 - Content Legitimacy and Quality
 - Detection and mitigation of hate speech and offensive language
 - Fake news, deepfakes, misinformation and disinformation

(text, speech and gesture)
 - Trust and credibility of online information
 - User Security and Safety
 - Cyberbullying and identification of internet offenders
 - Monitoring extremist fora
 - Suicide prevention
 - Clickbait and scam detection
 - Fake profile detection in online social networks

Special Theme Track - Future of Cyber Security in the Era of LLMs and
Generative AI:
NLPAICS 2026 will feature a special theme track with the goal of
stimulating discussion around Large Language Models (LLMs), Generative
AI and ensuring their safety.  The latest generation of LLMs, such as
CHATGPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, LLAMA and open-source alternatives, has
showcased remarkable advancements in text and image understanding and
generation. However, as we navigate through uncharted territory, it
becomes imperative to address the challenges associated with employing
these models in everyday tasks, focusing on aspects such as fairness,
ethics, and responsibility. The theme track invites studies on how to
ensure the safety of LLMs in various 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:
 - Detection of LLM-generated language in multimodal context (text,
speech and gesture)
 - LLMs for forensic linguistics
 - Bias in LLMs
 - Safety benchmarks for LLMs
 - Legislation against malicious use of LLMs
 - Tools to evaluate safety in LLMs
 - Methods to enhance the robustness of language models
Submissions and Publication:
NLPAICS welcomes high-quality submissions in English, which can take
two forms:
 - Regular long papers: These can be up to eight (8) pages long,
presenting substantial, original, completed, and unpublished work.
 - Short (poster) papers: These can be up to four (4) pages long and
are suitable for describing small, focused contributions, ongoing
research, negative results, system demonstrations, etc. Short papers
will be presented as part of a poster session.
The conference will not consider and evaluate abstracts only. Accepted
papers, including both long and short papers, will be published as
e-proceedings with ISBN will available online on the conference
website at the time of the conference and are expected to be uploaded
into the ACL Anthology.
