Computational Psycholinguistics Meeting Conference website: https://cpl2026.sites.uu.nl/
We are excited to announce the 2nd edition of a new recurring workshop dedicated exclusively to computational psycholinguistics. The field has seen significant growth in recent years, not only due to developments in large language models but also to advances in symbolic processing models, Bayesian approaches, mechanistic models, and frameworks such as ACT-R. These diverse models aim to capture various aspects of human language processing, including semantics, syntax, sentence comprehension, speech, and more. 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 will cover 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 abstract submission deadline is July 17. The abstracts can be submitted at https://openreview.net/group?id=UU.nl/Utrecht_University/2026/CPL Next to the conference abstracts, we are also looking for abstracts for tutorials, which could cover any topic related to computational psycholinguistics and should be planned to run for between 1 and 3 hours. The tutorial abstracts will have the same submission deadline as the main conference, July 17. The conference will take place in Utrecht, the Netherlands, on December 3 and December 4, and it will be preceded by tutorials on the afternoon of December 2. Best regards, CPL Organizing Committee Jakub Dotlacil (Utrecht University) Li Kloostra (Utrecht University) Philine Link (Utrecht University) Ece Takmaz (Utrecht University) Giovanni Cassani (Tilburg University) Bruno Nicenboim (Tilburg University) Lena Jäger (University of Zurich)
