We are excited to announce the First Workshop on Linguistic Analysis for Health (HeaLing), co-located with EACL 2026, to be held in Rabat, Morocco, on March 24–29, 2026. [??] Important Links Workshop Website: https://healing-workshop.github.io<https://healing-workshop.github.io/> Contact: healing-workshop(a)googlegroups.com<mailto:[email protected]> CFP & Submissions (OpenReview): https://openreview.net/group?id=eacl.org/EACL/2026/Workshop/HeaLing <https://openreview.net/group?id=eacl.org/EACL/2026/Workshop/HeaLing> [???] Key Dates (AoE) Direct submission deadline (through OpenReview) - December 19, 2025 ACL Rolling Review submission deadline January 5, 2026 - https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp Notification of acceptance - January 23, 2026 Camera-ready paper due - February 3, 2026 Workshop date - March 28, 2026 (afternoon session) [??] Workshop Scope Language-oriented approaches—such as discourse and conversation analysis, narrative medicine, and linguistic ethnography—have long been central to qualitative investigations of how medical knowledge is produced, communicated, and experienced. Today, advances in natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI) offer new possibilities for extending and scaling linguistic approaches across large health-related datasets. The HeaLing workshop invites contributions that integrate qualitative and computational methods to examine how language informs and transforms medicine as a social and scientific practice. A central focus of the workshop is the practical value of interpretive insights derived from language analysis. We welcome researchers from medical humanities, social and historical studies of medicine, and computational language sciences. The workshop will be held as a half-day event at EACL 2026. [??] Topics of Interest (include but are not limited to) - Computational + qualitative discourse analysis of clinical, scientific, policy, and other health-related texts (media, guidelines, patient narratives, clinical notes). - Metaphor and framing in illness narratives, public health messaging, and clinical communication. - Narrative medicine, story-centered clinical interventions, and evaluation of their effects. - Historical and contemporary discourse studies of medical epistemologies (how concepts, categories, and expertise are constructed). - Language, power, and inequality: how linguistic framing shapes access, stigma, and policy for marginalized populations. - Methods for responsible use of NLP/LLMs in medical language research (bias, explainability, mixed-methods validation). - Digital humanities approaches: building and interrogating historical corpora, archives, and born-digital records. - Translational impact: case studies showing how interpretive linguistic insights led to concrete changes in practice, education, or policy. [??] Submission Format and Reviewing Procedure We accept original and unpublished research contributions (including surveys, position, and theory papers) following the ACL format. The ACL Paper Styles are available here: https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files (both LaTeX and Word). Long papers: up to 8 pages (+ references) Short papers: up to 4 pages (+ references) Camera-ready versions will be given one additional page to address reviewers’ comments. Papers must be submitted anonymously. We accept submissions either through our own submission page or via the ACL Rolling Review (ARR). All submissions will undergo double-blind peer review by at least three reviewers, with final acceptance decisions made by the workshop organizers. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and presented orally or as posters.

How do You Interact with Knowledge Graphs - A Short Survey
by ursula.rabar＠operas-eu.org 04 Dec '25

04 Dec '25

The GRAPHIA team is running a short survey to better understand how researchers, particularly from SSH, interact with knowledge graphs when supported by Large Language Models (LLMs). Your perspective matters. GRAPHIA is being developed with its users, and your input will directly influence how future features and interaction styles are designed. We want to learn how you explore and query research data, whether through natural language (e.g. chatbots) or structured interfaces (e.g. dropdown menus), so we can build tools that fit the way you work. The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete and is open to SSH researchers at all career stages, including those with little or no prior experience using knowledge graphs or formal query languages. By sharing your experience, you’ll help guide the next stage of GRAPHIA’s co-design process and ensure the platform continues to evolve around real user needs. You can access the survey here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf5BDE0Okrbz-9IWQWOR-AZD28sjB750rx… and provide your input by 16th of January 2026. For any questions you can contact them directly by emailing Ursula Rabar at ursula.rabar(a)operas-eu.org To find out more about GRAPHIA visit our website https://graphia-ssh.eu/knowledge-graphs/
