COLING 2025 invites the submission of long and short papers featuring substantial, original, and unpublished research in all aspects of Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas: Dialogue and Interactive Systems Discourse and Pragmatics Document Classification and Topic Modeling Ethics, Bias, and Fairness Information Extraction Information Retrieval and Text Mining Interpretability and Analysis of Models for NLP Language Modeling Language Resources and Evaluation Linguistic Insights Derived using Computational Techniques Linguistic Theories, Cognitive Modeling and Psycholinguistics Low-Resource and Efficient Methods for NLP Machine Learning for Computational Linguistics and NLP Machine Translation and Translation Aids Multilingualism and Language Diversity Multimodal and Grounded Language Acquisition NLP and LLM Applications (such as Education, Healthcare, Finance, Legal NLP, Computational Social Science, etc.) Natural Language Generation Offensive Speech Detection and Analysis Phonology, Morphology and Word Segmentation Question Answering Lexical Semantics Sentence-level Semantics (Textual Inference, Paraphrasing, etc) Sentiment Analysis, Stylistic Analysis, Opinion and Argument Mining Speech Recognition and Synthesis, and Spoken Language Understanding Summarization and Simplification Syntactic analysis (Tagging, Chunking, Parsing) Vision and Robotics Papers targeting any of these topics from the perspective of the Sustainability Goals of the UN are especially welcome. Submission Details COLING 2025 invites the submission of long papers of up to eight pages and short papers of up to four pages. These page limits only apply to the main body of the paper. At the end of the paper (after the conclusions but before the references) papers need to include a mandatory section discussing the limitations of the work and, optionally, a section discussing ethical considerations. Papers can include unlimited pages of references and an unlimited appendix. Authors should follow the general instructions for COLING 2025 proceedings, which are an adaptation of the general instructions for *ACL proceedings. To prepare your submission, please make sure to use the COLING 2025 style files available here: LaTeX Word Overleaf Papers deviating from the provided style files will be rejected without review. COLING 2025 adopts the ACL Ethics Policy. There are two routes for paper submission: Direct submission Papers should be submitted through Softconf/START using the following link: https://softconf.com/coling2025/papers/ Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Authors will have the opportunity to provide a short rebuttal to clarify any misunderstandings. The review process will be double-blind. Reviewers will not see authors, authors will not see reviewers. Reviews and submissions will not be made publicly visible. ACL Rolling Review (ARR) Papers Papers which have already been reviewed through the ACL Rolling Review (ARR) system can be committed to COLING 2025. These papers will not be re-reviewed. Senior Area Chairs and Program Chairs will make acceptance decisions based on the ARR reviews and meta-reviews. Optional Supplementary Materials: Appendices, Software and Data Each COLING 2025 submission can be accompanied by a single .tgz or .zip archive containing supplementary materials, such as program code and datasets. COLING 2025 encourages the submission of such supplementary materials to improve the reproducibility of results. For the main track, the supplementary materials need to be fully anonymized to preserve the double-blind reviewing policy. Additional information, such as preprocessing decisions, model parameters or proofs should be put into the appendix of the main PDF submission. Note that submissions need to remain fully self-contained. In particular, any details that are important for reviewers to assess the technical correctness of the work should be included in the main body of the paper. Anonymity Period COLING 2025 will follow the ACL Anonymity Policy. As a result, no anonymity period will be required, although authors are still cautioned against extensive advertising. The submissions themselves must still be fully anonymized. Multiple Submission Policy Papers which are submitted to COLING 2025 cannot be under review for other conferences or journals at the same time. The commitment process is treated as being under review for a conference. Authors can either commit their paper through ARR or directly submit it to the conference. Papers reviewed and committed to the conference through ARR cannot be submitted directly to the conference. In addition, we will not consider any paper that overlaps significantly in content or results with papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere. Submissions that violate these requirements will be desk rejected.

Financial Causality Detection (FINCausal 2025) shared task -COLING 2025
by PALOMA MARTINEZ FERNANDEZ 11 Sep '24

11 Sep '24

--------Apologies for cross posting----- Dear Colleagues, We are excited to announce *Financial Causality Detection (FinCausal 2025) shared task* to be organized in the upcoming the *6th Financial Narrative Processing (FNP)* <https://www.lllf.uam.es/wordpress/fincausal-25/>held in conjunction with COLING-2025 in Abu Dhabi, UAE, on January 19-20, 2025. For the 6th FNP shared task, we will continue working in two languages ( *English*, *Spanish*) and we will introduce a new FinCausal Shared Task: Financial Causality Detection (FinCausal 2025) on hybrid question answering. The objective is to detect causal effects in financial disclosures in English and Spanish. The dataset is a combination of extractive and generative QA. Questions will be formulated abstractedly, while answers will be extractive. In certain segments, questions will either focus on causes or effects, and the answers will be directly extracted from the text. The evaluation metric for responses will encompass both exact matching and semantic similarity. The shared tasks attracted more than 150 participants within the last 3 FNP editions, for this year we are expanding the dataset by making the tasks more challenging. → *2 new datasets* will be developed, one in English and one in Spanish Access the CodaLab by clicking here <https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/19936> *Key Dates* First CFP: 15 July 2024 Second CFP: 15 August 2024 (FinCausal) Practice set release: *2 September 2024* (FinCausal) Training set release: *15 September 2024* (FinCausal) Blind test set release: *30 October 2024* (FinCausal) Systems submission: *7 November 2024* (FinCausal) Release of results: *12 November 2024* (FinCausal and general) Paper Submission Deadline: *25 November 2024* Notifications of Acceptance: *5 December 2024* Camera-ready Paper Deadline: *13 December 2024* As in previous editions, FNP 2025 will be on-site and in-person (there will be NO option for it to be virtual or hybrid).

MessIRve: a large-scale Spanish Information Retrieval dataset
by Francisco Valentini 11 Sep '24

11 Sep '24

We're happy to announce the release of *MessIRve*, a new *large-scale IR dataset in Spanish!* MessIRve* contains around *730k queries from 20 Spanish-speaking countries* *and the United States*, with relevant documents sourced from Wikipedia. MessIRve's queries reflect diverse Spanish-speaking regions, unlike other datasets that are translated from English or do not consider dialectal variations. The large size of the dataset allows it to cover a wide variety of topics, unlike smaller datasets. The dataset is available in *HuggingFace*! 🤗 - Queries and relevance judgments: spanish-ir/messirve <https://huggingface.co/datasets/spanish-ir/messirve> - The collection of documents: spanish-ir/eswiki_20240401_corpus <https://huggingface.co/datasets/spanish-ir/eswiki_20240401_corpus> - Queries and qrels in TREC format: spanish-ir/messirve-trec <https://huggingface.co/datasets/spanish-ir/messirve-trec> For more details, check out our *arXiv paper*: MessIRve: A Large-Scale Spanish Information Retrieval Dataset <http://arxiv.org/abs/2409.05994> We hope MessIRve serves to spur more work in IR for the Spanish language and facilitate the development of efficient information access tools for Spanish speakers. * MessIRve means *works** for **me* in Spanish ("me sirve"). The reference to Lionel Messi, player of the most popular sport in Spanish-speaking countries, football, stresses the importance of using topics that are relevant to Spanish speakers.
