We are pleased to announce the upcoming full-day *SPEAKABLE 2026* Workshop
on Speech Language Models in Low-Resource Settings: Performance,
Evaluation, and Bias Analysis, co-located with LREC 2026 in Palma de
Mallorca. This workshop brings together researchers, practitioners, and
industry experts working to advance speech technology for under-resourced
languages. We invite contributions that address the unique challenges and
opportunities in this space.

*Workshop Topics of Interest*

We encourage submissions on (but not limited to):

-       Performance of speech language models in low-resource and
underrepresented languages

-       Evaluation methodologies and creation of benchmarks for
low-resource speech

-       Bias analysis, detection, and mitigation strategies in speech
technologies

-       Real-world applications, deployment challenges, and case studies

-       Speech recognition, speech-to-text, language modeling, multilingual
and cross-lingual approaches

-       Fairness, ethical considerations, and inclusive NLP for
low-resource speech communities

-       Parameter-efficient adaptation methods and knowledge distillation
for speech models

-       Edge-constrained inference and computational efficiency in
low-resource settings

*Info for  Papers*

We welcome original research papers and ongoing work relevant to speech and
language modeling for low-resource settings. Submissions should be 4 to 8
pages in length and follow the LREC 2026 stylesheet. Submissions should
follow LREC formatting guidelines (https://lrec2026.info/authors-kit/). The
maximum number of pages excludes potential Ethics Statements and discussion
on Limitations, acknowledgements, and references, as well as data and code
availability statements. Appendices or supplementary material are not
permitted during the initial submission phase, as papers should be
self-contained and reviewable on their own.



Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength,
significance, relevance to the conference, and interest to the
attendees. Papers
must be of original, previously *unpublished* work.



All submissions should follow the two-column LREC style guidelines. We
strongly recommend the use of the LaTeX/Overleaf style files. All papers
will undergo a *double-blind peer review* process, with final acceptance
decisions made by the workshop chairs. Submissions that violate the
requirements above will be rejected without review.



Accepted papers will be presented as *oral or poster* presentations. The
mode of presentation will be determined by the workshop chairs and does not
reflect the quality of the submission.



*SPEAKABLE 2026* will primarily be an in-person event, but online
participation will also be possible for participants who cannot travel to
the conference.

Notification of Acceptance: March 12, 2026

Camera-Ready Papers: March 30, 2026
