Call for Papers: Special Issue on
"Multilingual and Multimodal Solutions for Low-Resource,
Indigenous, Endangered Languages and Dialects"
Journal: Information Processing & Management (Impact Factor: 6.9)
=================================================================
Guest Editors:
- Karol Nowakowski (University of Yamanashi) [Managing Guest Editor]
- Miyagawa So (University of Tsukuba)
- Michal Ptaszynski (Kitami Institute of Technology)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Of the approximately 7,000 languages spoken in the world today,
more than 40% are considered endangered, and many indigenous
languages exist without any significant digital presence or
computational support. At the same time, recent advances in
large language models (LLMs), multimodal AI, and cross-lingual
transfer learning have dramatically raised the bar for what
language technology can achieve - yet the overwhelming majority
of these advances continue to benefit only a small number of
high-resource languages.
This Special Issue of Information Processing & Management
addresses that gap directly. We invite submissions that develop,
adapt, or evaluate multilingual and multimodal computational
methods specifically targeting low-resource, indigenous, and
endangered languages and dialects. Our goal is to bring together
high-quality research that is both technically rigorous and
culturally grounded, and to establish a landmark reference for
this rapidly growing field.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
TOPICS OF INTEREST
-----------------------------------------------------------------
We welcome submissions on a wide range of topics, including but
not limited to:
- Construction and curation of corpora, lexicons, and annotated
datasets for low-resource and endangered languages
- Transfer learning, cross-lingual adaptation, and zero/few-shot
methods for under-resourced languages
- Speech recognition, text-to-speech, and spoken language
processing for endangered and indigenous languages
- Multimodal approaches combining text, audio, image, and video
for language documentation and revitalization
- Machine translation and cross-lingual information retrieval
for minority languages and dialect varieties
- NLP tools for morphologically rich, agglutinative, or
polysynthetic languages
- Community-centered and participatory frameworks for language
technology development
- Dialect identification, code-switching, and multilingual
information extraction
- Applications of LLMs and vision-language models (VLMs) in
low-resource settings
- Ethical, cultural, and data sovereignty considerations in
language technology for indigenous communities
-----------------------------------------------------------------

CLOSING NOTE
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The documentation, preservation, and revitalization of the
world's linguistic diversity is one of the most time-sensitive
challenges at the intersection of AI and the humanities. We
warmly invite researchers from academia and industry — across
NLP, information science, linguistics, cognitive science, and
related fields — to contribute their latest work to this
Special Issue.
By bringing together a coherent collection of high-quality papers
on multilingual and multimodal solutions for low-resource and
endangered languages, we aim to advance the state of the art,
foster international and interdisciplinary collaboration, and
help ensure that the benefits of modern language technology
reach the communities that need them most.
We look forward to your contributions.
Sincerely,
on behalf of all Guest Editors
Michal Ptaszynski
