2025Q3 Reports: SIGSEM

SIGSEM annual report to ACL for 2024-2025

Sina Zarrieß, SIGSEM President

SIGSEM is the ACL Special Interest Group on Computational Semantics. More information about SIGSEM can be found on our website: www.sigsem.org. Users can also become members from the website; members are added to a low-volume, moderated mailing list (mainly conference and job announcements). SIGSEM is fully compliant with ACL guidelines for SIGs and currently has 878 members.

Our most recent regular election was held in 2022, and Sina Zarrieß (President), Stergios Chatzikyriakidis (Secretary), Tushar Khot, and Sandro Pezzelle (Information Officers) were elected.

SIGSEM holds a bi-annual international conference on computational semantics (IWCS). The next IWCS will be held in 2025 in Düsseldorf, Germany and is organized by Kilian Evang (HHU), Laura Kallmeyer (HHU) and Sylvain Pogodalla (INRIA). IWCS received 50 submissions.

SIGSEM also endorses other semantics-related workshops and events that are open to the general community. In 2025 we received an endorsement request from LARP 2025 organized by CLASP in Gothenburg and decided to accept it.
