WNNLP'26 proceedings are published

The WNNLP'26 proceedings are now published, please have a look at the PDF.

The workshop received 29 submissions by 44 authors. We are glad that all of them have been accepted for publication as part of the WNNLP 2026 proceedings. This is the largest number of submissions throughout the long history of the WNNLP workshop. Slides for all the presentations.

The Programme Committee has selected the paper "Steering LLMs’ Responses Towards Moral Foundations on the Norwegian MFQ-30" by Hans Andersen and David Dichas for the WNNLP 2026 Best Paper award. In this paper, the authors conduct a thorough analysis of the behavior of six large language models on the Norwegian MFQ-30 morality questionnaire, with interesting applications of persona-prompting. The submission received excellent reviews and demonstrates great research skills of the authors.

The IN5550 course offered three obligatory assignments throughout the semester, with the maximum number of points gradually increasing for each of them (6, 12 and 14 correspondingly). This year, the Outstanding Coursework award goes to the team of Elias Trana and Ola Lømo Ellingsen and to Arthur Spalanzani. These students earned the maximum number of points for all three assignments (32 total). In addition, their assignment submissions consistently featured in the corresponding leaderboards, witnessing to the performance of their neural NLP systems.

Congratulations to all the award recipients (and runners-up)!

We remind that all the authors are encouraged to consider submitting their papers to one of the "real" NLP venues: conferences or journals. It was a pleasure to work with you.
