Papers are invited in all of the areas outlined in the Topics of interest, particularly emphasizing multidisciplinary aspects of processing such data and the interplay between clinical/nursing/medical sciences, language technology, computational linguistics, NLP, and computer science. We welcome also papers discussing problems derived from the design of relevant data samples and populations, but also the exploitation of results and outcomes as well as legal and ethical questions on how to deal with such data and make it available. Furthermore, the workshop solicits papers describing original research. Papers may preferably describe substantial and completed work, but may also focus on a contribution, a negative result, an interesting application nugget, a software package, a small, focused contribution or work in progress. The workshop will act as a stimulus for the discussion of several ongoing research questions driving current and future research and challenges by bringing together researchers from various research communities.
RaPID-6@MENTAL.ai will be held on Tuesday the 12th of May 2026. The oral presentations will be allocated 10-20 minutes (please see the program for details), possibly, followed by a poster session (depending on the volume of received submissions). Submitted papers must be formatted according to the camera-ready style for LREC 2026 (style guidelines, updated templates etc. for the camera-ready papers) provided here: LREC's main conference submission templates [Author's Kit]) and submitted electronically in PDF format through the SOFTCONF - conference manager page TO-BE-ANNOUNCED-SHORTLY . Papers should be 4-8 pages of content. Additional, unlimited pages containing the list of references and appendices are allowed. Please do not include page numbers in your article. We will strive to have all submissions reviewed by at least three, or more, members of the program committee. Moreover, depending on the volume of contributions, there might be a poster session and/or a demo session for papers describing systems or tools.
Finally, papers must be anonymized to support double-blind reviewing. Submissions thus must not include authors’ names and affiliations. The submissions should also avoid links to non-anonymized repositories: the code should be either submitted as supplementary material in the final version of the paper, or as a link to an anonymized repository (e.g., Anonymous GitHub or Anonym Share). Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review. More relevant questions about the submissions can be found here: FAQ.
