Special Sessions

​​​​​CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS

We invite proposals for Special Sessions that align with the conference theme “Architectures of the Future: Intelligent Technologies and Global Innovation". Each Special Session proposal must aim to attract at least 10 paper submissions, with a minimum of 5 accepted papers to be included in the final program. Accepted papers from these sessions will undergo the same rigorous review process as regular submissions.

Special Session 1: AI Meets Language: From Linguistic Intelligence to Machine Intelligence

This special session explores the dynamic intersection of artificial intelligence and linguistics, highlighting how advances in language technologies are reshaping our understanding of human and machine intelligence. It brings together diverse perspectives from theoretical linguistics, computational linguistics, phonetics, language engineering, natural language processing, and generative AI. The session welcomes research on large language models, multilingual and multimodal AI, Arabic and under-resourced languages, linguistic evaluation of AI systems, human–AI communication, and AI-assisted language learning. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, the session aims to examine how linguistic knowledge can advance more accurate, inclusive, culturally responsive, and human-centered AI technologies across languages and communities. The session may include topics according ,but not limited to the following axes:

1. AI and Linguistic Theory.
2. Phonetics, Phonology, and AI
3. Morphology and Computational Language Processing
4. Syntax and AI
5. Semantics, Meaning, and Large Language Models
6. ⁠Pragmatics, Discourse, and AI
7. Sociolinguistics, Language Variation, and AI
8. Corpus Linguistics and AI
9. ⁠Arabic Linguistics and Generative AI
10. Multilingualism and Cross-Linguistic AI
11. ⁠AI and Language Acquisition
12. ⁠AI, Cognition, and Psycholinguistics
13. ⁠Generative AI and Linguistic Creativity
14. ​​Evaluating Linguistic Intelligence in AI
15. Human versus AI linguistic performance

Special session 2 : AI and Language Disabilities: From Linguistic Assessment to Intelligent Assistive Technologies

This special session explores the emerging role of artificial intelligence in understanding, assessing, diagnosing, and supporting individuals with language and communication disabilities. It brings together perspectives from linguistics, clinical linguistics, speech-language pathology, cognitive science, natural language processing, and generative AI. The session focuses on how AI can identify linguistic patterns associated with developmental and acquired language difficulties and provide personalized, accessible interventions. Particular attention is given to speech and language disorders, developmental language disorder, dyslexia, aphasia, communication difficulties associated with autism, and disorders of speech production. The session also addresses ethical issues, linguistic diversity, privacy, bias, and the development of inclusive AI technologies. The session may include topics according ,but not limited to the following axes:

1. ⁠AI and Clinical Linguistics
2. AI and Speech Disorders
3. AI and Developmental Language Disorders
4. ⁠AI, Dyslexia and Reading Disabilities
5. ⁠AI, Autism and Communication
6. AI and Aphasia
7. Generative AI and Language Disabilities
8. ⁠AI, Linguistic Assessment and Diagnosis
9. ⁠Multilingual and Arabic Language Disabilities
10. ⁠Inclusive and Accessible AI
11. ⁠Ethical Issues and Responsible AI​
