[CfP] TermTrends @ LDK 2025: Bridging the Gap between Terminological Resources and Large Language Models

***Apologies for crossposting***

*Call for Papers - TermTrends25: Bridging the Gap between Terminological 
Resources and Large Language Models*

*When*: 9th September 2025
*Where*: Università degli Studi di Napoli L'Orientale - Palazzo del 
Mediterraneo, Naples, Italy (and online - hybrid event)

*TermTrends 2025* is a half-day workshop co-located with *LDK 2025* 
(https://2025.ldk-conf.org/) that aims to provide a discussion forum on 
theoretical and methodological approaches for the integration of 
language resources, and specifically terminological resources, published 
following Linked Data principles, into the optimisation of LLM pipelines.

In particular, this event focuses on how terminological resources can be 
leveraged to enhance the performance of LLMs at different stages of 
their lifecycle, from pre-training and fine-tuning to evaluation and 
application.

To this end, the workshop intends to explore the advantages and 
challenges of leveraging Linked Data-compliant language resources in the 
context of LLMs. This includes examining how existing standards for 
representing terminological data, such as TermBase eXchange (TBX) 
format, and Semantic Web models like SKOS and Ontolex-lemon, can be 
adapted or extended to meet the needs of LLM development. In addition, 
the workshop aims to discuss innovative ways to integrate language 
resources published as Linked Data into LLM workflows to address issues 
such as domain adaptation, bias mitigation, and the interpretability of 
model outputs.

The *topics of interest *for this workshop include, but are not limited 
to, the following topics:

  * Analysis of the *usefulness of language resources*, with a special
    interest in terminological resources published as Linked Data, in
    pre-training and fine-tuning LLMs.
  * Approaches to *represent and integrate Linked Data-based
    terminological data* in formats compatible with LLM architectures.
  * *Limitations of current terminological standards* and models for
    LLM-specific use cases.
  * Identification of *new use cases and opportunities for Linked
    Data-based terminological resources* to support the development and
    evaluation of LLMs.
  * Exploration of *LLM capabilities in generating and enriching
    terminological resources* for Linked Data applications.
  * Investigation of the *LLM potential in automatic conversion* of
    unstructured or semistructured terminological resources to Semantic
    Web formats.


*Submission info:*

  * Long papers: 9–12 pages;
  * Short papers: 4–6 pages.
