Submission Deadline: 03-Jul-2026

We are excited to announce the second edition of a new recurring
meeting dedicated exclusively to computational psycholinguistics.
This meeting aims to provide a dedicated platform for researchers and
practitioners to discuss computational models that explain and predict
human linguistic behavior (e.g., as observed in psycholinguistic
experiments), to bring together experts from different subfields to
advance our understanding of language processing mechanisms, and to
analyze the successes and limitations of different modeling
approaches.
The meeting covers a range of topics, including but not limited to:
 - Exploring how models like (large) language models, symbolic models,
Bayesian models, connectionist models, and ACT-R based models can
explain and predict human behavior in language tasks.
 - Analyzing where different types of models succeed or fall short in
capturing human language processing.
 - Investigating what linguistic information should be integrated
across different levels (words, sentences, discourse) and how this
affects comprehension and production
 - Examining the potential of models that combine neural and symbolic
approaches to better mimic human language processing.
 - Applying computational, algorithmic, and implementational levels of
analysis to understand language processing mechanisms.
 - Focusing on recent developments in computational modeling of
semantics, syntax, sentence processing, speech perception and
production.
The abstracts can be submitted via openreview at this address:
https://openreview.net/group?id=UU.nl/Utrecht_University/2026/CPL
The submission deadline is July 3. Next to the conference abstracts,
we are also looking for abstracts for the tutorials, which could cover
any topic related to computational psycholinguistics and should be
planned to run for between 1 and 3 hours. The tutorial abstract will
have the same submission deadline as the main conference, July 3.
A preliminary conference website is available here:
https://cpl2026.sites.uu.nl/
The conference will take place in Utrecht on December 3 and December
4, and it will be preceded by tutorials on the afternoon of December
2.
