First CfP: The 5th Workshop on *C*omputational Linguistics for the
*P*olitical and *S*ocial *S*ciences (CPSS-2025)
https://cpss-sig.github.io/CPSS-2025
CPSS-2025 will be held in September 2025, co-located with KONVENS
<https://konvens-2025.hs-hannover.de/> in Hildesheim, Germany.
The workshop will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of
innovative research on all aspects of using CL/NLP techniques for the
political and social sciences, including:
* Modeling political communication with NLP (e.g. topic
classification, position measurement)
* Mining policy debates from heterogeneous textual sources
* Modeling complex social constructs (e.g. populism, polarization,
identity) with NLP methods
* Political and social bias in language models
* Methodological insights in interdisciplinary collaboration:
workflows, challenges, best practices
* NLP support to understand and support democratic decision making
* Resources and tools for Political/Social Science research
* and many more...
CPSS-2025 will be held in person.
Special Theme
The special theme of CPSS-2025 is
* Validation and best practices for using NLP in political and social
science research*.
In addition to CPSS's general topics, we specifically invite submissions
on this year's special theme, focussing on validation and best practices
for applying NLP techniques for research in the political and social
sciences. We are especially interested in papers addressing issues
related to:
* Data quality in human and synthetic data
* Data leakage and contamination, especially in LLMs
* New ways to collect data such as dataset donation
* Validation of results beyond the train-dev-test paradigm of NLP and
data science.
* Any other topics related to the special theme.
Important Dates
All submission deadlines are 11:59 p.m. UTC-12:00 “anywhere on Earth.”
