UBC NLP will present 21 papers at EMNLP 2026 in Budapest: 10 main conference, 8 Findings, 1 TACL, and 2 workshop papers.
Topics span culture and values (LLMs inferring but failing to apply cultural context, South Asian meme understanding, value drift during post-training), language diversity (dialectal Arabic ASR Bulbul, AFROSCOPE), retrieval and RAG (TEMPO temporal reasoning, OntologyBench, Canadian case-law RAG), and agents/reasoning (MoCA-Agent financial reasoning, computer-use and deep research agents, inference as tree search).
