Submission Deadline: 17-Oct-2025

The Fifteenth biennial Language Resources and Evaluation Conference
(LREC) will be held at the Palau de Congressos de Palma in Palma,
Mallorca, Spain, on 11-16 May 2026. LREC serves as the primary forum
for presentations describing the development, dissemination, and use
of language resources involving both traditional and recently
developed approaches.
The scientific program will include invited talks, oral presentations,
and poster and demo presentations, as well as a keynote address by the
winner of the Antonio Zampolli Prize.  Submissions describing all
aspects of language resource development and use are invited,
including, but not limited to, the following:
Language Resource Development:
 - Methods and tools for mono- and multi-lingual language resource
development and annotation
 - Knowledge discovery/representation (knowledge graphs, linked data,
terminologies, lexicons, ontologies, etc.)
 - Resource development for less-resourced/endangered languages
 - Guidelines, standards, best practices, and models for
interoperability
Language Resource Use:
 - Use of language resources in systems and applications for any area
of language and speech processing
 - Use of language resources in assistive technologies, support for
accessibility
 - Efficient/low-resource methods for language and speech processing
Evaluation:
 - Methodologies and protocols for evaluation and benchmarking of
language technologies
 - Measures for validation of language resources and quality assurance
 - Usability of user interfaces and dialogue systems
 - Bias, safety, and user satisfaction metrics
 - Interpretability/explainability of language models and language and
speech processing tools
Language Resources and Large Language Models:
 - Language resource development for LLMs (monolingual, multilingual,
multimodal)
 - (Semi-)automatic generation of training data
 - Training, fine-tuning, adaptation, alignment, and representation
learning
 - Guardrails, filters, and modules for generative AI models
Policy and Organizational Considerations:
 - International and national activities, projects, initiatives, and
policies
 - Language coverage and diversity
 - Replicability and reproducibility
 - Organisational, economic, ethical, climate, and legal issues
Separate calls will be issued for Workshops, Tutorials and Industry
Track.
Submission:
Submissions should be 4 to 8 pages in length (excluding references)
and follow the LREC stylesheet, which will soon be available on the
conference website.
At the time of submission, authors are offered the opportunity to
share related language resources with the community. All repository
entries are linked to the LRE Map [https://lremap.elra.info/], which
provides metadata for the resource.
Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings, which
include both oral and poster papers in the same format. Determination
of the presentation format (oral vs. poster) is based solely on an
assessment of the optimal method of communication (more or less
interactive), given the paper content.
Important Dates:
(All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 (“anywhere on Earth”)
 - Oral and poster (or poster+demo) paper submission: 17 October 2025
 - Notification of acceptance: 13 February 2026
 - Camera Ready due: 6 March 2026
 - Workshop and tutorial proposals submission: 17 October 2025
 - LREC 2026 conference: 11-16 May 2026
