Dear mailing list members,
We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the Queer in AI Workshop, which will be held as an official workshop at NAACL 2025 in New Mexico, USA (April 29-May 4, 2025).
Over the years, Queer in AI has grown so much that it has spawned its own research subfield. This called for us to convert our workshop into an official workshop at NAACL 2025, which means your work can now be published in the ACL Anthology.
The workshop will be held in a hybrid format, allowing both in-person and virtual participation.
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW The workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of linguistics, queerness, and natural language processing. We provide a safe and inclusive space for presenting work, networking, and discussing critical issues in the field.
TRACKS AND SUBMISSIONS We welcome submissions in three tracks:
- Queer linguistics - Exploring language around gender and sexuality, including applications of queer theory to language research. - Queerness and NLP - Examining the intersection of NLP and queerness, from analyzing queer language patterns to investigating potential biases in NLP systems. - Queer activism and D&I - Addressing inclusivity challenges in NLP events and sharing strategies for queer advocacy in tech and academia.
SUBMISSION OPTIONS: We provide two submission options: archival (if you want your papers published) and non-archival (if you just want to share or present your work).
*Archival track*: Papers should be 4 pages (short) or 8 pages (long) in ACL format, with unlimited pages for references. All papers must use the official ACL style templates. Accepted papers will be published in the ACL Anthology.
*Non-archival track*: In this track, you can submit creative work in the form of art, poetry, music, microblogs, TikToks, or videos; or you can submit your work-in-progress papers or abstracts. For this submit a PDF containing a summary/abstract of your work and a link to the actual content. Submissions in any language are welcome.
IMPORTANT DATES: Archival submission deadline: January 30, 2025 *February 20, 2025 (extended)* Non-archival submission / Findings / ARR commitment deadline: February 20, 2025 Notification of acceptance: March 1, 2025 Camera-ready due: March 10, 2025
