Student Research Workshop co-located with ACL 2023 in Toronto, Canada.
***Paper Submission Deadline: May 5th, 2023*** The Student Research Workshop
The ACL 2023 Student Research Workshop (SRW) is a forum to bring together students investigating various areas of Computational Linguistics, Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. The workshop provides the opportunity for participants to present their work and to receive mentorship and valuable feedback from the international research community.
The workshop's goal is to aid students at multiple stages of their education, including undergraduate, MSc/MA, junior and senior PhD students, in getting familiar with conducting and presenting their research. General Rules for Submission
We invite papers in two different categories:
-
Research Papers: Papers in this category can describe completed work, or work in progress with preliminary results. For these papers, the first author **MUST BE** a current student. Topics of interest for the SRW are the same as for the main ACL 2023 conference: https://www.2022.aclweb.org/calls https://2023.aclweb.org/calls/main_conference/ -
Thesis Proposals: This category is appropriate for PhD students who have decided on a thesis topic and wish to get feedback on their proposal and broader ideas for their continuing work.
Submissions (in both categories) may either be archival or non-archival, based on the wish of the authors. All archival papers will be published in the ACL 2023 SRW Proceedings. Non-archival papers may be submitted to any venue in the future except for another SRW.
The submission link is available on our website https://acl2023-srw.github.io/. Please read the guidelines carefully. Why Submit to ACL SRW?
There are many good reasons to submit to the ACL SRW, such as:
-
Mentorship program: ACL SRW provides a unique opportunity for students to receive constructive feedback and to improve their work through a pre-submission mentorship program. -
Improving your publication record: publishing a paper as an undergraduate or as a MSc/MA student is beneficial when applying for a PhD program. Publishing a paper in an ACL SRW workshop can be really helpful for improving students’ publication record. -
Explorative Studies: We encourage the submission of studies with positive and negative results providing insights on why and in which scenarios a particular method succeeds and fails.
All accepted papers and thesis proposals will be presented either as oral presentations or during poster sessions, which will give students an opportunity to interact with and to present their work to a large and diverse audience, including top researchers in the field and assigned mentors. Important Dates

Acceptance notifications: May 30 2023 -
Camera-ready deadline: June 6, 2023 -
ACL 2023 conference dates: July 10-12, 2023
All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 ("anywhere on Earth"). Submission Requirements
We accept both archival submissions (which will be included in the conference proceedings) and non-archival submissions (which will be presented at the workshop but will not be included in the proceedings).
All submissions (archival and non-archival) must follow the anonymity period and the restrictions of the main conference.
Long papers consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, plus an unlimited number of pages for references and supplementary material like the appendix. Upon acceptance, papers will be given one additional page of content (up to 9 pages).
Short papers consist of up to four (4) pages of content, plus an unlimited number of pages for references and supplementary material like the appendix. Upon acceptance, papers will be given one additional page of content (up to 5 pages).
Authors are encouraged to use the additional page to address reviewers’ comments.
Paper submissions must use the official ACL style templates, which are available as an Overleaf template https://www.overleaf.com/read/crtcwgxzjskr and also downloadable directly https://github.com/acl-org/ACLPUB/tree/master/templates (Latex and Word). We strongly encourage participants to use the Latex template. All submissions must be in PDF format and must conform to the official style guidelines, which are contained in these template files. The review process will be double-blind, and thus all submissions must be anonymized.

-
Computational Social Science and Social Media -
Dialogue and Interactive Systems -
Discourse and Pragmatics -
