From July 2 to 7, we will once again participate in ACL 2026, the Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, which this year will take place in San Diego, California, United States.

This year, we will take part in several conference activities presenting the paper “Adaptive Data Collection for Latin-American Community-sourced Evaluation of Stereotypes (LACES),” our work on language model evaluation, bias, and collaborative methodologies for data creation. The paper was authored by Guido Ivetta, Pietro Palombini, Sofia Martinelli, Marcos J. Gomez, M. Emilia Echeveste, Sunipa Dev, Vinodkumar Prabhakaran, and Luciana Benotti.

Guido Ivetta will represent our team during the ACL presentations. Confirmed activities include:

Poster presentation of the paper during the “Findings” session as part of the main conference.
On July 3, we will also give an oral presentation of the paper at the StereACuLT Workshop. This will be the first edition of the Workshop on Stereotypes Across Cultures in Language Technologies, a space dedicated to examining and addressing stereotypes in language technologies from a cross-cultural perspective. The workshop brings together researchers committed to the ethical and safe development of large language models, promoting culturally grounded evaluation methods and more robust, context-aware mitigation strategies.
On July 4, as part of the Cross-Cultural Considerations in NLP (C3NLP) Workshop, Guido Ivetta will present the paper, and Luciana Benotti will also participate as a member of the organizing committee. This workshop explores the relationship between culture and Natural Language Processing (NLP), focusing on how language models reflect values, biases, and cultural contexts. Its goal is to encourage interdisciplinary approaches for developing more inclusive, representative, and culturally aware language technologies.
As part of the Birds of a Feather (BoF) session, also within the main conference, we will participate in a discussion and networking event organized together with Alberto Testoni: “Who Gets Left Behind? Identity, Culture, and Power in NLP Systems.”
On July 5 at 3:15 PM (GMT−7), we will also give an oral presentation of the paper at the Student Research Workshop, which will take place within the ACL 2026 program. This workshop is designed to support researchers at different stages of academic development by fostering opportunities to present research, engage with the international community, and receive mentorship and specialized feedback.
