Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the Seventh
International Workshop on Designing Meaning Representations (DMR 2026)
, to
be held at LREC 2026 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

Workshop website: https://dmr2026.github.io/
Submission deadline: February 28, 2026

DMR 2026 invites contributions on topics of interest include but are not
limited to:

  • Development and annotation of meaning representations

  • Challenges and techniques in leveraging meaning representations for
    downstream applications, including neuro-symbolic approaches

  • The relationship between symbolic meaning representations and distributed
    semantic representations

  • Issues in applying meaning representations to multilingual settings and
    lower-resourced languages

  • Challenges and techniques in automatic parsing of meaning representations

  • Challenges and techniques in automatically generating text from meaning
    representations

  • Meaning representation evaluation metrics

  • Cross-framework comparison of meaning representations and their formal
    properties

  • Any other topics that address the design, processing, and use of meaning
    representations

DMR 2026 introduces the first *shared task *on Parsing to Uniform Meaning
Representation (UMR), designed to benchmark the automatic prediction of UMR
structures across multiple languages.

The full CFP is attached as a PDF and also available on our website.

We would be grateful if you could share this announcement with interested
colleagues, students, and mailing lists.

Best regards,
The DMR 2026 Organizing Committee
