Call For Papers


Neural language models have revolutionised natural language processing (NLP) and have provided state-of-the-art results for many tasks. However, their effectiveness is largely dependent on the pre-training resources. Therefore, language models (LMs) often struggle with low-resource languages in both training and evaluation. Recently, there has been a growing trend in developing and adopting LMs for low-resource languages. LoResLM aims to provide a forum for researchers to share and discuss their ongoing work on LMs for low-resource languages.

)) Topics


LoResLM 2025 invites submissions on a broad range of topics related to the development and evaluation of neural language models for low-resource languages, including but not limited to the following.


Building language models for low-resource languages.

Adapting/extending existing language models/large language models for low-resource languages.

Corpora creation and curation technologies for training language models/large language models for low-resource languages.

Benchmarks to evaluate language models/large language models in low-resource languages.

Prompting/in-context learning strategies for low-resource languages with large language models.

Review of available corpora to train/fine-tune language models/large language models for low-resource languages.

Multilingual/cross-lingual language models/large language models for low-resource languages.

Applications of language models/large language models for low-resource languages (i.e. machine translation, chatbots, content moderation, etc.

)) Important Dates


Paper submission due – 5th November 2024

Notification of acceptance – 25th November 2024

Camera-ready due – 13th December 2024

LoResLM 2025 workshop – 19th / 20th January 2025 co-located with COLING 2025


)) Submission Guidelines




We follow the COLING 2025 standards for submission format and guidelines. LoResLM 2025 invites the submission of long papers of up to eight pages and short papers of up to four pages. These page limits only apply to the main body of the paper. At the end of
the paper (after the conclusions but before the references), papers need to include a mandatory section discussing the limitations of the work and, optionally, a section discussing ethical considerations. Papers can include unlimited pages of references and
an unlimited appendix.

To prepare your submission, please make sure to use the COLING 2025 style files available here:
