<p style="margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">We are excited to announce the second
edition of a new recurring workshop dedicated exclusively to
computational psycholinguistics. The field has seen significant
growth in recent years, driven not only by developments in large
language models but also by advances in symbolic processing
models, Bayesian approaches, mechanistic models, and frameworks
such as ACT-R. These diverse models aim to capture various
aspects of human language processing, including semantics,
syntax, sentence comprehension, speech, and more.</span></p>
<p> <span style="font-size:inherit;">This meeting aims to provide a
dedicated platform for researchers and practitioners to discuss
computational models that explain and predict human linguistic
behavior (e.g., as observed in psycholinguistic experiments), to
bring together experts from different subfields to advance our
understanding of language processing mechanisms, and to analyze
the successes and limitations of different modeling approaches.</span></p>
<p> <span style="font-size:inherit;">The meeting will cover a range
of topics, including but not limited to:</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;"> ◦ Exploring how models like
(large) language models, symbolic models, Bayesian models,
connectionist models, and ACT-R based models can explain and
predict human behavior in language tasks.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;"> ◦ Analyzing where different
types of models succeed or fall short in capturing human
language processing.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;"> ◦ Investigating what
linguistic information should be integrated across different
levels (words, sentences, discourse) and how this affects
comprehension and production</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;"> ◦ Examining the potential of
models that combine neural and symbolic approaches to better
mimic human language processing.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;"> ◦ Applying computational,
algorithmic, and implementational levels of analysis to
understand language processing mechanisms.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;"> ◦ Focusing on recent
developments in computational modeling of semantics, syntax,
sentence processing, speech perception, and production.</span></p>
<p> <span style="font-size:inherit;">We plan to open the call for
abstracts soon, with a submission deadline of <strong>July 3</strong>. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:16px;margin-top:16px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">Next to the conference abstracts, we
are also looking for tutorial abstracts on any topic related to
computational psycholinguistics and should be planned to run for
between 1 and 3 hours. The tutorial abstract will have the same
submission deadline as the main conference, <strong>July 3</strong>. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:16px;margin-top:16px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">A preliminary conference website is
available here: </span><a href="https://cpl2026.sites.uu.nl/" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://cpl2026.sites.uu.nl/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#1E53A3;font-size:inherit;">https://cpl2026.sites.uu.nl/</span></a></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">The conference will take place in <strong>Utrecht</strong>
on <strong>December 3 and December 4</strong>, and it will be
preceded by tutorials on the afternoon of <strong>December 2</strong>.</span></p>
