Call for Papers: The 19th Linguistic Annotation Workshop (LAW-XIX)
We invite submissions for LAW-XIX, co-located with ACL 2025 in Vienna,
Austria, in July/Aug 2025.
The LAW-XIX will provide a forum for presentation and discussion of
innovative research on all aspects of linguistic annotation, including
creation/evaluation of annotation schemes, methods for automatic and
manual annotation, use and evaluation of annotation software and
frameworks, representation of linguistic data and annotations,
semi-supervised “human in the loop” methods of annotation,
crowd-sourcing approaches, and more.
Special Theme
The special theme of LAW-XIX is "*Subjectivity and variation in
linguistic annotations*". In addition to LAW's general topics, we
specifically invite submissions on:
* Subjectivity and human label variation in linguistic annotations
* Learning from annotation disagreements
* Detecting annotation noise in human label variation
* Accounting for subjectivity in label aggregation
* Ways to aggregate multiple annotators' labels beyond majority vote
* Any other topics related to the special theme.
Regarding subjectivity, we are particularly interested in work
addressing the*annotation of multidimensional constructs from the
political and social sciences* and encourage submissions on the
following topics:
* Theory-driven operationalization of complex political or
socio-psychological constructs,
* such as populism, moral values, or stereotypes Creation of
linguistically annotated datasets that capture such constructs
* Relation between theories and textual annotations
* Challenges for the measurement of multidimensional constructs from text
* Challenges for validating (a) theories, (b) annotations
* Implications and risks for manual annotation and automatic
prediction of socio-psychological constructs from text.
Important Dates
All submission deadlines are 11:59 p.m. UTC-12:00 “anywhere on Earth.”
