Paper Submission Information
We invite submissions of original and unpublished work on all aspects of computational linguistics and natural language processing from fundamental inquiries to the practical implementation of natural language resources, components, and systems. We particularly encourage submissions of NLP approaches dedicated to the German language, including survey papers that provide insights into the current state of the art in German language and speech processing. We welcome contributions from both academic and industry professionals.
Papers can be submitted either to the main conference track or to the special track on application of Large Language Models focussing on the utilisation of LLMs and language-model approaches for the analysis and exploitation of textual resources in Linguistics, Computer Science, Information Science, the Humanities and the Social Sciences.
We welcome the following types of paper submissions:
* Long papers (8 pages plus references), describing original research with substantial new results. * Short papers (4 pages plus references), including small focused contributions, work in progress, as well as descriptions of projects, systems and resources. * Abstracts (1 page, non-archival). Abstracts can be presented at the poster session but will not be included in the conference proceedings. We especially invite submission on ongoing projects, student projects, past or ongoing bachelor and master theses, ongoing or recently completed PhD theses, and opinion pieces in this category to foster interaction and discussion in our community.
Accepted papers will be presented orally or as posters as determined by the program chairs. However, a preference for a poster or oral presentation can be given. All presentations will take place in person (no online/hybrid format). The main conference language is English. Contributions written in both German or English will be accepted, however, English is recommended. The review process for long and short papers will be double-blind. Submissions of long and short papers must be anonymized accordingly. The submission of non-archival abstracts must not be anonymous (review of abstracts is single-blind). The conference proceedings will be published via the ACL Anthology (archival submissions only). Papers must be presented at the conference by at least one of the authors in order to be published as part of the proceedings.
Papers must be formatted in accordance with the ACL style sheet: https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files. We strongly encourage authors to use LaTeX in preparing their document.
Papers must be submitted electronically via OpenReview: Details will be published in time on the KONVENS 2025 website (https://konvens-2025.hs-hannover.de/author/ ) .
