NLP technologies have matured to the point where they can meaningfully contribute to addressing global challenges like poverty, hunger, healthcare, education, inequality, COVID-19, and climate change, aligning with the UN sustainability goals. This workshop aims to advance innovative NLP research that benefits society, emphasizing responsible methods and impactful applications. We welcome submissions in areas including, but not limited to: - Grounding NLP in Real-World Impact: Beyond improving model performance, how can NLP systems be directly tied to social outcomes? This could include case studies of real-world deployments or strategies for better deployment and maintenance practices. - Underexplored Applications: While NLP for healthcare and mental well-being is well-established, we encourage research tackling overlooked areas such as poverty, hunger, energy, and climate change. - Interdisciplinary Collaborations: We highly value work that integrates insights from other fields, such as social science, political science, economics, philanthropy, and HCI, and we encourage submissions of case studies or examples that highlight such collaborations. Special Theme: NLP for Climate Change This year, we spotlight NLP’s role in addressing climate change—an area that remains underexplored in the NLP community. We invite research on climate-focused applications, such as fact-checking, question-answering, and initiatives to make NLP models more environmentally sustainable. Attendees will have the chance to share results and ideas with NGO representatives working on climate issues. Submission Types We encourage diverse contributions, including: - Identifying social needs and affected demographics. - Proposing new tasks or directions through position papers. - Conducting literature reviews or philosophical discussions on NLP’s societal impact. - Designing user studies, surveys, or ethical frameworks. - Exploring interdisciplinary methods and collaboration strategies. Submissions must address the ethical and societal implications of the work, with a clear focus on defining and achieving positive impact. We look forward to fostering discussions that inspire actionable, responsible advancements in NLP for the greater good. Papers Format Both long and short paper submissions should follow all of the ARR submission requirements https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#paper-submission-information, including: Long Papers <https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#long-papers>(8 pages) and Short Papers (4 pages).
