PoliticalNLP 2026 @ LREC 2026 — Join Us Tomorrow in Palma

[Haithem Afli]

Dear colleagues,

I would like to warmly invite members of the Arabic NLP and AI community attending LREC 2026 in Palma to join us tomorrow for:

PoliticalNLP 2026
The 3rd Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Political Sciences
📅 16 May 2026
🕘 09:00 – 13:00
📍 Clavia room
🌐 Hybrid

The workshop explores the intersection of NLP, generative AI, political sciences, media analysis, multilinguality, and trustworthy AI.

This year’s programme includes discussions on:
• political narratives and media framing
• multilingual political discourse
• political bias and hallucinations in LLMs
• AI governance and explainability
• misinformation and public trust
• cultural adaptation in political AI

We also have several contributions highly relevant to Arabic and multilingual NLP, including work on Arabic political bias, cross-lingual political framing, and cultural adaptation in LLMs.

One of the highlights of this edition will be the announcement of a new Political LLM Leaderboard initiative focused on evaluating political reasoning, multilingual understanding, explainability, and trustworthy behaviour in large language models.

And if you are interested in global politics and NLP… why not join us? 🙂

It would be great to see members of the Arabic NLP community contributing to and engaging with this growing interdisciplinary area.

Please find below the programme for tomorrow’s workshop.

Looking forward to seeing some of you tomorrow in Palma.

Best regards,
Haithem
