Objectives and topics

Recent advances in natural language processing, speech technologies, and multimodal systems have been driven by deep learning, large-scale datasets, and improved computational capabilities. These technologies increasingly power intelligent systems capable of understanding and generating human language across multiple modalities.
The ANLSMP 2026 session aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to present and discuss state-of-the-art methods, challenges, and real-world applications in natural language, speech, and multimodal processing. This session will provide a platform for sharing novel ideas, models, and resources that contribute to the development of adaptive, context-aware, and human-centric AI systems. We welcome theoretical, empirical, and application-focused contributions from both academia and industry.

The scope of this special session includes, but is not limited to the following topics:


  • Language modeling and representation learning
  • Speech recognition and synthesis
  • Machine translation and cross-lingual processing
  • Named entity recognition and information extraction
  • Development of linguistic resources and datasets
  • Emotion recognition and affective computing
  • Speech-to-text and text-to-speech applications
  • Evaluation metrics and benchmarks for NLP systems
  • Multimodal data fusion and analysis
  • Recommendation and personalization systems
  • Applications in healthcare, education, and social services
  • Conversational AI and dialogue systems
  • Deep learning architectures for language and speech processing
