NLP for Positive Impact

NLP4PI 2026: 5th Workshop on NLP for Positive Impact

In conjunction with
Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing 2026
October 24-29, 2026
HungExpo
Budapest, Hungary

NLP Machine Learning

Focuses on NLP research aimed at social good, from health and education to sustainability and equity. A venue defined by application rather than method, which makes evaluation harder than usual, since the measure of success is an outcome in the world rather than a benchmark score. Draws practitioners alongside researchers. Deployment and sustained maintenance are recurring themes, because a system abandoned after the paper helps nobody.
