Conference Description:
Today, there are many ways in which the human and social sciences use digital tools to investigate different aspects of human life and society. As the significance and use of digital resources continually expands into new fields of study, there are some disciplines which have already been working with digital methods for decades. This conference aims to present an overview of the current state of research in fields such as archival studies, cultural studies, history, linguistics, literature, performing and visual arts, philosophy where novel approaches are being made available through digital tools. The 2024 conference focusses on novel and innovative approaches to make use of digital applications, in particular in the light of the advent of machine learning and A.I. solutions.
The Digital Research Data and Human Sciences (DRDHum 2024) conference aims to bring together researchers who have different areas of interest and expertise to discuss the themes of data compilation and management, and to share their knowledge and experience. We encourage contributions from researchers and research groups who have implemented interdisciplinary research to participate in the event.
DRDHum 2024 is organized by the University of Eastern Finland. The first (D)RDHum Conference was hosted at the University of Oulu in 2019, where the focus was specifically on linguistic text corpora. The second conference, 2022 at the University of Jyväskylä was more expansive, looking at digital resources and technologies within the humanities and include multi-modal approaches.
Please note that there will be a free pre-conference workshop. For details go to: https://sites.uef.fi/drd-hum-2024/programme/

Abstract: Trees are very common linguistic representations, used for
instance in rewrite grammars, X-Bar grammars, and lambda expressions. Trees
can also be records of the steps by which a structure was built, for
instance a derivation tree or a term over an algebra. These building
instructions don’t have to build trees, but can build anything you like.
This opens the possibility of using well-established and interpretable
tree-prediction methods, such as dependency parsing, to predict...

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.

About the workshop
The CRAC workshop is a forum for presenting work on all aspects of
computational work on anaphora resolution and annotation, including both
coreference and types of anaphora such as bridging reference resolution and
discourse deixis.
Since 2016, the annual CRAC <https://aclanthology.org/venues/crac/> (and
its predecessor, CORBON <https://aclanthology.org/venues/corbon/> ) workshop
has become the main forum for researchers interested in computational
modelling of reference, anaphora and coreference to discuss and publish
their results. Over the years, this workshop series has been held at major
NLP conferences and has successfully organised 7 shared tasks, which
stimulating interest in new problems in this research area, facilitating
discussion and dissemination of results on new problems/directions (e.g.
multimodal reference resolution).
Topics of interest
We are interested in your work on any aspect of theoretical or applied
computational work on anaphora/coreference resolution. Some suggested topics
include:
- Coreference resolution for less-researched languages
- Annotation and interpretation of anaphoric relations, including relations
other than identity coreference (e.g., bridging references)
- Investigation of difficult cases of anaphora and their resolution
- Coreference resolution in noisy data (e.g. in social media)
- New applications of coreference resolution
- <https://universalanaphora.github.io/UniversalAnaphora/> Universal
Anaphora
- CorefUD <https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/corefud>
CRAC 2024 Shared Task on Multilingual Coreference Resolution
The workshop will also present the results of our Shared Task on
Multilingual Coreference Resolution
<https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/corefud/crac24> , based on 17 coreference datasets
for 12 languages harmonized under a common CoNLL-U scheme.
Paper categories
- Research papers (theoretical computational linguistics,
empirical/data-driven approaches, paradigms/techniques/strategies, analysis
papers, resources and evaluation, negative result)
- Survey papers (surveys a popular or emerging area of anaphora/coreference
resolution)
- Position papers (presents one side of an arguable opinion about an issue)
- Challenge papers (a challenge to the field in terms of setting out a goal
for the next 5/10/20 years)
- Demo papers (systems, tools, visualizations)
- Extended abstracts (describe work in progress)
Double submission
We allow for double submissions. Please indicate at the time of submission
which other conference or workshop your work has been submitted to.
We also invite authors of papers accepted for the Findings of major
conferences (e.g. ACL, NAACL, EMNLP) to present their work at the workshop.
If these papers have been removed from the Findings, they may be included in
the workshop proceedings without further review.
Submission link
You can either submit your paper to SoftConf
<https://softconf.com/emnlp2024/CRAC2024/> (by the August 22 submission
deadline) or commit your ARR-reviewed paper to CRAC 2024 (by the September
