Dear colleagues,
We are writing to remind of the upcoming deadline for the ninth meeting of the Society for Computation in Linguistics, co-located as a workshop with the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) 2026 annual meeting in San Diego this coming July. We seek high-quality research on computational and mathematical approaches in any area of linguistics. Submissions to SCiL should involve a substantial computational and/or mathematical modeling component, make direct contact with linguistics, and be written for an interdisciplinary audience. The deadline has been extended to March 12th; more information on the submission process is available on the website for this iteration: https://sites.google.com/view/scil2026
We see this as an exciting opportunity to bridge the ACL and SCiL communities and sincerely look forward to your participation. Events will include keynote speakers Jennifer Hu and Noah Smith, a crossover panel hosted by SCiL during the main conference, and a crossover poster session to invite main conference authors to share their work during SCiL. Funding from the National Science Foundation means we also expect to be able to subsidize at least $500 of the ACL registration costs for the authors of each SCiL paper.
Please feel free to contact Rob Voigt (robvoigt@ucdavis.edu) with any questions. Thanks and see you in San Diego!
