Welcome to the 1st BHASHA Workshop at IJCNLP-AACL 2025!

The 1st Workshop on BHASHA: Benchmarks, Harmonization, Annotation, and Standardization for Human-Centric AI in Indian Languages is scheduled on December, 2025 and will be held at IIT Bombay, Mumbai, India.

India, despite being a linguistically rich country with 22 official languages, does not enjoy the benefits of NLP research according to the potential. The special nature of Indian languages, from being inflectional and agglutinative to having a free word order, does not let direct usage of tools built for other languages. The BHASHA workshop, to be held with the IJCNLP-AACL 2025 conference, aims to address these issues. The focus is on creating tools, benchmarks, resources, annotated corpora, evaluation metrics, etc. for Indian languages. Peer reviewed submissions are sought through both ARR as well as through direct submission
