Organizing Committee

Jan Hajič — Charles University, Czech Republic
Professor of Computational Linguistics at the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics and a leader of the LINDAT/CLARIAH-CZ research infrastructure. His work includes richly annotated treebanks, deep syntactic and semantic representation, multilingual language resources, machine translation, and empirical NLP.
Adriana Pagano — Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil
Full Professor at UFMG, working on multilingual text production, translation, linguistic modeling, human–computer interaction, and semantic representation. Her recent work brings Uniform Meaning Representation to the Portuguese-language NLP community, including a UMR tutorial at PROPOR 2026.
James Pustejovsky — Brandeis University, USA
TJX Feldberg Professor of Computer Science and Chair of Linguistics and Computational Linguistics at Brandeis. His research spans lexical and computational semantics, corpus annotation, temporal and spatial reasoning, and artificial intelligence, including TimeML and UMR.
Shira Wein — University of South Florida, USA
Assistant Professor in the Bellini College of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and Computing. Her research centers on multilingual language modeling, computational semantics, and model assessment, with substantial work on AMR/UMR parsing, generation, cross-lingual transfer, and the downstream utility of linguistic representations.
Nianwen Xue — Brandeis University, USA
Professor of Computer Science and Linguistics and Chair of Computer Science at Brandeis. His research focuses on syntactic, semantic, and discourse representation and parsing, multilingual NLP, event understanding, and computational social science. He is a principal investigator of the Uniform Meaning Representation project.
Jin Zhao — Saint Louis University, USA
Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Saint Louis University. Her research connects event understanding, computational framing, multilingual semantics, and human-centered AI, with an emphasis on how different sources describe the same real-world events.

The organizing team spans North America, Europe, and South America and includes researchers at different career stages with expertise in English, Chinese, Czech, Portuguese, and multilingual semantics.

Program Committee

The program committee is being recruited and will be listed here once membership is confirmed. We aim for a committee large enough to guarantee three reviews per submission while assigning no reviewer more than three papers, with attention to gender, geography, career stage, institution type, and linguistic community.
