🧠 This year’s special theme: Human involvement in post-training
As labs pivot toward AI-generated feedback and synthetic data, we ask: What should the role of real human input be in shaping models?

That’s where HCI comes in. HCI+NLP is a space for researchers who care about people, context, and design to shape the future of language technologies. ✨

Fairness, evaluation in the wild, explainability—these aren’t just technical issues. They're human ones. 🤝 Now more than ever, NLP must integrate human-centered methods into its core research.
