We're running an AI-authored research workshop for Northeast India's 200+ languages - and publishing everything openly

At MWire Labs, we build language technology for Northeast India's indigenous languages - ASR, MT, OCR, LLMs. The region has 200+ languages. Almost none of them exist in mainstream AI datasets.
So we're doing something a bit unusual.

NortheastGenAI 2026 is a virtual workshop on May 29 where every submission must be AI-generated or AI-assisted - with full disclosure of how. All reviews are AI-assisted too, followed by a human editorial check. Everything is public on OpenReview. Inspired by Agents4Science 2025 (Stanford).

We're not claiming AI research is ready. We're asking the question openly and publishing whatever comes out.

*Three tracks:
*

Language, Culture & Heritage
Society, History & Anthropology
AI and Technology for NE India

Stack we're using: OpenReview for submissions.

Keynote: Bonaventure F. P. Dossou (McGill/Mila, Masakhane) β€” "Doing More with Less: Efficient Methods for Low-Resource Languages"

**Key dates:
**Submissions open: April 8
Deadline: May 15
Workshop: May 29

Non-archival - submit elsewhere after.

If you're working on low-resource NLP, indigenous language tech, or just curious - come submit or attend.
