6th Multilingual Representation Learning Workshop
The MRL 2026 workshop, co-located with EMNLP in Budapest, focuses on advancing multilingual representation learning to improve NLP for low-resource and underrepresented languages. It brings together researchers to present and discuss methods for multilingual pretraining, transfer learning, probing, and benchmarking, with an emphasis on linguistic typology and practical applications across diverse language families.
