## 📝 Call for Papers Description
more information on our Workshop-Website:
Dear list members,
we would like to invite you to submit abstracts to our workshop "LLM fails – Failed experiments with Generative AI and what we can learn from them" taking place from April 8-9, 2025 at the Leibniz Institute for the German Language, Mannheim, Germany.
If the extended short papers are positively reviewed, there is an opportunity to publish them in a special issue of the Journal for Language Technology and Computational Linguistics.
Further information (automatic English translation):
Failed experiments typically have no place in scientific discourse; they are discarded and not published. We believe this leads to a loss of potential knowledge. After all, a systematic reflection on the reasons for failure allows for the questioning and/or improvement of methods used. Furthermore, when previously failed experiments are repeated and succeed, explicit progress can be determined. Thus, the discussion and documentation of failures creates added value for the scientific community from the perspective of methodological reflection. This is even more relevant in a field like research into and with Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), which cannot look back on decades of tradition and where best practices are still being negotiated.
This workshop focuses on linguistic and NLP experiments with Generative AI that did not yield the desired results, such as but not limited to:
• Using Generative AI as a Named-Entity Recognizer
• Using Generative AI for automatic transcription of spoken language data
• Using Generative AI for the creation of dictionary entries
• Using Generative AI for the detection of language change phenomena
The contribution should clarify how this failure can contribute to knowledge gain regarding the work with Generative AI.
Unpublished proposals can be submitted anonymously as an abstract (500-750 words) in either German or English to the following email address by December 11, 2024:
llmfails(at)ids-mannheim.de
The organization team will decide on the acceptance of contributions by December 16, 2025. If a contribution is accepted, a short paper (4-6 pages without references) in English will be requested by February 15, 2025. The short papers will undergo double-blind peer review and will be published in a special issue of the Journal for Language Technology and Computational Linguistics and archived at ACL Anthology.
Best,
