LLU 2026: Language Learning and Understanding for AI Scientists and Linguists (Taipei)

Language Learning and Understanding for AI Scientists and Linguists (LLU 2026) is a two-day academic workshop held on 11 and 12 November 2026 at Academia Sinica in Taipei (Conference Room II, HSSB). It is organised by the Institute of Linguistics, Academia Sinica (ILAS) together with Japan's National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics (NINJAL), and co-organised by the Association for Computational Linguistics and Chinese Language Processing (ACLCLP).

The workshop sits deliberately at the intersection of artificial intelligence and linguistics, bringing together AI scientists and linguists around questions of how language is learned and understood, with topics adjacent to natural language processing. Its dual hosting by leading Taiwanese and Japanese language-research institutes, with an established computational-linguistics association as co-organiser, gives it a solid academic footing rather than a commercial one.

For researchers working across NLP, computational linguistics and the cognitive science of language, LLU 2026 offers a focused, regional venue with strong institutional backing. The call for papers, speaker line-up, registration and venue details are published on the official ILAS workshop site.
