First announcement

Recent advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Deep Learning and Large Language Models (LLMs) continue to transform Cyber Security. The Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence for Cyber Security conference (NLPAICS) brings together researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of language technologies and security to share the latest research results and real-world applications. Following the success of the first NLPAICS conference in 2024, NLPAICS’2026 will again provide a forum for cutting-edge research, visionary ideas and community building.

Submissions and Publication

The first NLPAICS’2026 Call for Papers (to be distributed in September 2025) will provide details on the types of submissions and the submission procedure. The first call will also provide information on the conference schedule, including submission and notification deadlines.

Each submission will be reviewed by three members of the Programme Committee.

All accepted papers will be included in the conference e-proceedings which will be available at the conference. The NLPAICS’2026 organisers will work with ACL to secure their inclusion in the ACL Anthology.

Organisation

The Second International Conference on Natural Language Processing and Artificial Intelligence for Cyber Security (NLPAICS’2026) is organised by the Language Processing and Information Systems group of the University of Alicante. (GPLSI)

Further information and contact details

The follow-up calls will list keynote speakers and members of the programme committee once confirmed.

The conference website is https://nlpaics2026.gplsi.es/ and will be updated on a regular basis. For further information, please email NLPAICS2026@dlsi.ua.es

Registration will open in February 2026.
