ACL Rolling Review (ARR) Discontinuation of the MS Word Template
by ACL Announcements 29 Oct '25

29 Oct '25

Dear ARR authors, The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) rolling review (ARR) has decided to abandon the MS Word Template for conference submissions. The submissions based on the Word template will be desk-rejected starting from March 2026. Our past experience suggests that only a small fraction of the papers submitted through ARR are based on the MS Word Template. However, they receive a comparably high number of desk reject flags, because most reviewers are not used to the considerably different layout resulting from this template. The processing of this desk rejects increases the workload on (S)ACs, PCs and EiCs, and is stressful for the authors. The rationale for maintaining the Word template has been to remain open to research communities from other disciplines who may be less used to LaTeX. However, at this point, Overleaf also offers a WYSIWYG interface, the ACL template is available on this platform, and to the best of our knowledge, it is not banned in any countries that have restrictions on i.e., Google products. This makes the burden for the few authors still relying on the MS Word Template more bearable, and reduces the learning curve to adapt to LaTeX. At the same time, the overall benefit for the community is high enough to justify this move. This move would also facilitate the effort of automating some of the formatting checks post-submission, in order to reduce the workload on Reviewers, (S)ACs, PCs and EiCs. In the long run, we hope it will help to shorten the paper checklist. For information on author guidelines, please keep updated on https://aclrollingreview.org/authors Sincerely, ARR Editors

However, their effectiveness is largely dependent on the pre-training resources. Therefore, language models (LMs) often struggle with low-resource languages in both training and evaluation. Recently, there has been a growing trend in developing and adopting LMs for low-resource languages. Supporting this important shift, LoResLM aims to provide a forum for researchers to share and discuss their ongoing work on LMs for low-resource languages. 𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 LoResLM 2026 invites submissions on a broad range of topics related to the development and evaluation of neural language models for low-resource languages. We welcome research that explores modalities beyond text and encourage work on low-resource dialects in addition to major language varieties. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Building language models for low-resource languages. • Adapting/extending existing language models/large language models for low-resource languages. • Corpora creation and curation technologies for training language models/large language models for low-resource languages. • Benchmarks to evaluate language models/large language models in low-resource languages. • Prompting/in-context learning strategies for low-resource languages with large language models. • Review of available corpora to train/fine-tune language models/large language models for low-resource languages. • Multilingual/cross-lingual language models/large language models for low-resource languages. • Multimodal language models/large language models for low-resource languages • Applications of language models/large language models for low-resource languages (i.e. machine translation, chatbots, content moderation, etc.) 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 We follow the EACL 2026 standards for submission format and guidelines. LoResLM 2026 invites submissions of long papers up to 8 pages and short papers up to 4 pages. These page limits only apply to the main body of the paper.

Public online talk on 4 November on genAI and corpus linguistics (Sydney Corpus Lab)
by Monika Bednarek 28 Oct '25

28 Oct '25

We welcome you to an online talk hosted by the Sydney Corpus Lab on 4 November on genAI and corpus linguistics Scheduled: Tuesday 4 November at 7 pm (AEDT - Sydney) Location: Online (https://sydneycorpuslab.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/dinnertalk_kklee_fly…) Title: Artificial intelligence in corpus linguistic research Abstract: The advent of large language models (LLMs) and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools such as ChatGPT has led to AI being used in many facets of everyday life as well as in education and research. This talk will explore the potential of AI in corpus linguistic research based on a synthesis of recent publications on corpus linguistics and generative AI/LLMs. The focus is on how AI can be incorporated into different stages of corpus linguistic research such as data processing/cleaning and analysis. Additionally, the talk will cover general debates around the use of AI in corpus linguistic research, in particular, the concerns around the lack of transparency and replicability. Speaker: Dr Kelvin Lee is the current Project Manager at the Sydney Corpus Lab. He also teaches Japanese Studies at the University of Sydney. Aside from corpus linguistics, Kelvin's broad research interests include topics in the areas of sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, pragmatics, language and identity, and media discourse. He is currently working on research that incorporates corpus linguistic analysis in the examination of language use in Japanese speculative telecinematic texts.
