The SIG was officially approved on Dec, 28 2019. As of July 2026, the group has 507, a slight decline compared to 2025 when we had 513 members.
== Workshop ==

In summer 2019 we organized the first workshop on typology for polyglot NLP (co-located with ACL 2019). In total, 48 attendees registered for the workshop (excluding organizers and keynote speakers).

In autumn (November) 2020, we ran the second (virtual) workshop on computational research in linguistic typology (co-located with EMNLP 2020). In total, ~50 attendees registered for the workshop.

In summer (July) 2021, we organized the third (virtual) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with NAACL 2021). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2021-schedule.html), ran several sessions during 24 hours to allow members from different time zones attend any session they prefer. According to our records, in total ~130 unique participants attended the sessions.

In July 2022, we organized the fourth (hybrid) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with NAACL 2022 that took place in Seattle). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2022-sigtyp-schedule.html). According to the NAACL 2022 workshop chairs, ~70 ACL members registered for the workshop. According to our records, there were about 60-70 participants in the in-person part, and ~60 unique participants attended the virtual session.

In May 2023, we organized the fifth (hybrid) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with EACL 2023 that took place in Dubrovnik). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2023-sigtyp-schedule.html). According to our records, there were about ~60 participants in the in-person part, and ~20-30 unique participants attended the virtual session.

In March 2024, we organized the sixth (hybrid) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with EACL 2024 that took place in Malta). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2024-sigtyp-schedule.html). According to our records, there were about ~50 participants in the in-person part, and ~30 participants attended the virtual session.

In July 2025, we organized the seventh (hybrid) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with ACL 2025 that took place in Austria). The workshop was also co-located with FieldMatters (computational approaches to field linguistics). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2025-sigtyp-schedule.html). According to our records, there were about ~60 participants in total.

In March 2026, we organized the eight (hybrid) workshop on computational typology and multilingual NLP (co-located with EACL 2026 that took place in Morocco). We developed our own virtual infrastructure (https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2026-sigtyp-schedule.html). According to our records, there were about ~50 participants in total.

Keynote Speakers:
Jennifer Culbertson, Terry Regier

Proceedings: https://aclanthology.org/volumes/2026.sigtyp-main/

Later this year, we will have a third event organized under the SIGTYP umbrella, The Fifth Workshop on Multilingual Representation Learning (MRL): https://sigtyp.github.io/ws2026-mrl.html
Organizers of the MRL 2026 workshop:
David Ifeoluwa Adelani, Duygu Ataman, Catherine Arnett, Jiayi Wan, Fabian Schmidt, David Stap, Tyler Chang, Hila Gonen

== Shared Tasks ==

In 2025, SIGTYP did not offer any shared task. MRL offered Shared Task on ECLeKTic-style Multimodal and Multilingual Benchmark

== Other Activities (Online) ==

'''SIGTYP website and logo'''

We developed SIG’s website ([https://sigtyp.github.io]). It is constantly being updated with new information on workshops, shared tasks, members, and other information. We also designed a group’s logo: [https://sigtyp.github.io/logo.html]

'''SIGTYP Lecture Series ([https://sigtyp.github.io/lectures.html])'''

In 2021, every week we invite a speaker either from NLP or linguistic typology to present their research. We pre-record the talk in four ~15min parts and then play them having live discussions after each.
For this purpose, we created our own Youtube and Bilibili (China) channels.

Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaSWMbnmduXYlbWGEWLedww/about

Bilibili: https://space.bilibili.com/1055445444

SIGTYP Lecture Hosts:
Olga Zamaraeva, Joe Brucker, Eleanor Chodroff, Pranav A, Ekaterina Vylomova, Ryan Cotterell

We are planning to continue this activity in the second half of 2022.

'''SIGTYP digest ([https://sigtyp.github.io/blog.html])'''

Each month we invite members of the community to submit short abstracts or summaries of their recent papers to our monthly newsletter. This allows keeping track of the progress in the field and promoting everyone’s work.

Editors:
Ekaterina Vylomova, Pranav A, Eleanor Chodroff, Tiago Pimentel, Ryan Cotterell

'''Twitter account ([https://twitter.com/sig_typ])'''

We engage more members by keeping our Twitter account constantly updated with retweets of recent papers, talks, and other materials on linguistic typology, multilinguality, and low-resource NLP. As of July 2022, we have 1071 followers.

Managers:
Ekaterina Vylomova, Ryan Cotterell, Joe Brucker, Edoardo M Ponti

'''Mailing Lists'''

We created organizational structure for SIGTYP, e.g. Google groups for: 1) SIGTYP members; 2) SIGTYP Exec; 3) SIGTYP shared task organizers.

== Elections ==

As secretary, Ryan Cotterell will be organizing the elections over the coming months. He is going to follow Garrett Nicolai's procedure at SIGMORPHON for remote voting.
