Language models And RePresentations (LARP) brings together researchers
that explore how information is structured, encoded and used in
computational language systems. We encourage submissions on both
neural (sub-symbolic) and discrete (symbolic) representations from the
fields of computational linguistics and artificial intelligence or
their intersection.
The conference is organised by the Centre for Linguistic Theory and
Studies in Probability (CLASP, https://gu-clasp.github.io/),
University of Gothenburg. The conference will be held between
September 8 and 9 in Gothenburg, Sweden (on-site and hybrid).
Topics of interest
We hope to see innovative work that considers neural and symbolic
learning and processing in terms of different modelling perspectives.
Papers are invited on the following topics as they relate to natural
language:
 - Neuro-symbolic integration: novel hybrid frameworks combining
symbolic representations with neural network learning for enhanced
reasoning and natural language processing
 - Explainable machine learning: techniques that allow for better
interpretability, transparency, and explainability of neural, symbolic
and neuro-symbolic architectures
 - Logical constraints in neural networks: methods that use logical
structures (e.g., knowledge bases, ontologies) for post-hoc or
inherent explainability
 - Automated reasoning systems providing human-interpretable
rationales for decisions
 - Symbolic planning and control in neural workflows
 - Application-driven scenarios (robots, autonomous systems)
showcasing benefits of symbolic approaches
 - Techniques that integrate symbolic representations into text or
multimodal generation
 - Approaches that enforce domain knowledge, consistency, or adherence
to constraints in text and/or multimodal generation
 - Fine-tuning and in-context learning strategies that incorporate
logical or rule-based knowledge
This list is illustrative but is not intended to be exhaustive.
Submission Requirements:
We accept only direct submissions at the following link:
https://openreview.net/group?id=CLASP/LARP/2025/Conference
Archival track
Archival track will feature the following types of submissions to
appear in conference proceedings: we accept long papers (max 8 pages)
and short papers (max 4 pages). Long and short papers must describe
substantial, original, and unpublished research. Supplementary
materials, appendices, a section on limitations and ethical concerns
do not count towards the page limit. Archival accepted papers will be
published in the 2025 ACL Anthology as a CLASP Conference Proceedings.
Papers should be electronically submitted via the OpenReview system at
https://openreview.net/group?id=CLASP/LARP/2025/Conference.
Submissions should be .pdf files and use the LaTeX or Word templates
provided for ACL submissions
(https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files). Archival submissions
must be anonymous. Please make sure that you select the right track
when submitting your paper. Contact the organisers if you have
questions.
Non-archival track
At the time of submission, authors may indicate that their paper
should be considered for the non-archival track. The format for
non-archival submissions is the same for both long and short papers as
it is for the archival submissions. Non-archival papers will not
undergo the peer review process. They will be evaluated by the
programme committee for clarity and content relevance before the
decision by the PC is made. Non-archival papers do not need to be
anonymous. If accepted, they are to be published on the conference
website and presented as posters.
Poster abstracts
We invite researchers to submit abstracts in the above areas of
interest. Abstract submissions are non-archival. This is a great
opportunity to get feedback on work in progress or to present
previously published work to a new audience. The deadline for abstract
submission is the same as for non-archival papers. Notifications of
acceptance will be sent out by August 8, 2025. Abstract submissions
should be .pdf files and use the LaTeX or Word templates provided for
ACL submissions (https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files).
Abstracts should not exceed 2 pages (supplementary materials,
appendices, a section on limitations and ethical concerns are not
included) and be submitted via OpenReview system at
https://openreview.net/group?id=CLASP/LARP/2025/Conference. The
acceptance decision on abstracts will go through the same procedure as
papers for the non-archival track. Accepted abstracts will be
presented as posters.
Concurrent Submissions:
Papers that have been or will be submitted to other conferences or
publications must indicate this at submission time using a footnote on
the title page of the submissions. We will not accept publications or
presentation papers that overlap significantly in content or results
with papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere.
Authors of papers accepted for presentation at LARP must notify the
program chairs by the camera-ready deadline as to whether the paper
will be presented. All accepted papers must be presented at the
conference to appear in the Proceedings.
Camera Ready Versions:
Camera ready versions must be deanonymised. Archival submissions get 1
more page to address comments from reviewers: long papers can be
maximum up to 9 pages, short papers can be maximum up to 5 pages.
Organisers:
LARP is organised by the Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in
Probability (CLASP, https://gu-clasp.github.io/) at the Department of
Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory of Science (FLoV), University of
Gothenburg. CLASP focuses its research on the application of
probabilistic and information theoretic methods to the analysis of
natural language. CLASP is concerned both with understanding the
cognitive foundations of language and developing efficient language
technology. We work at the interface of computational
linguistics/natural language processing, theoretical linguistics, and
cognitive science.
