CoNLL 2025: 3rd and final Call for Papers Vienna, Austria, July 31 - August 1, 2025 (co-located with ACL) https://www.conll.org/

NEW! We’re happy to announce that the invited speakers will be Raquel Fernández and Jean-Rémi King!

SIGNLL invites submissions to the 29th Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL 2025). CoNLL seeks to explore the interaction between theoretical issues in linguistics and cognition, on the one hand, and computational modeling, on the other. Questions that CoNLL addresses are e.g.: How do computational models inform us about how language and cognition work? Which phenomena do they capture, and which do they not capture? Conversely, how do linguistics and cognitive science contribute to understanding, and possibly improving, AI models?

We welcome work targeting any aspect of language and its computational modeling, including but not only: - Computational Psycholinguistics, Cognition and Linguistics - Computational Social Science and Sociolinguistics - Interaction and Dialogue - Language Acquisition, Learning, Emergence, and Evolution - Multimodality and Grounding - Typology and Multilinguality - Speech and Phonology - Syntax and Morphology - Semantics and Pragmatics - Theoretical Analysis and Interpretation of ML Models for NLP - Resources and Tools for Scientifically Motivated Research

Invited Speakers

- Raquel Fernández, University of Amsterdam - Jean-Rémi King, CNRS / Meta AI

Submissions

Submission will be via OpenReview. We accept two types of submission: archival, and non-archival.

Non-archival submissions are not anonymous. The aim of this submission mode is to allow for recently published CoNLL-related research to be disseminated in the CoNLL community. We will accept submissions that fit into CoNLL’s scope (see above for a description) and have been published in 2023, 2024, and 2025 in relevant conferences (*ACL, COLING, NeurIPS, ICLR, …) and journals (TACL, Computational Linguistics, other journals in the areas of interest for CoNLL). Submissions that are accepted will be presented at the conference either as talks or as poster presentations. While they will be included in the schedule information, they will not appear in the proceedings. The submission form is now open here: https://forms.gle/M8i23bMZLUTsqQxk7

Archival submissions must be anonymous and use the same template as the ACL 2025. Submitted papers may consist of up to 8 pages of content plus unlimited space for references. Authors of accepted papers will have an additional page to address reviewers’ comments in the camera-ready version (9 pages of content in total, excluding references). Optional anonymized supplementary materials and a PDF appendix are allowed. The appendix should be submitted as a separate PDF file (reviewers are not required to consider the materials in the appendix so it should not include any essential content to the understanding of the paper). Please refer to the ACL website for more details on the submission format. Note that, unlike ACL, we do not mandate that papers have a discussion section of the limitations of the work. However, we strongly encourage authors to have such a section in the appendix. The submission page for archival papers can be found here: https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/ACL/2025/Workshop/CoNLL

Multiple submission policy: CoNLL 2025 follows the ACL 2025 policy, which follows the ARR policy: CoNLL “precludes multiple submissions […] will not consider any paper that is under review in a journal or another conference at the time of submission, and submitted papers must not be submitted elsewhere during the […] review period. This policy covers all journals and refereed and archival conferences and workshops […] 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.” Authors submitting more than one paper to CoNLL 2025 must ensure that the submissions do not overlap significantly (>25%) with each other in content or results.

As for submission of pre-prints to arXiv and other platforms, we again follow the same policy as ARR: “[archival] submissions will remain anonymous during peer review, but authors are free to post and discuss non-anonymous preprints at any time.” Also please be aware of OpenReview's moderation policy for newly created profiles —we advise you to create a profile well in advance:

- New profiles created without an institutional email will go through a moderation process that can take up to two weeks. - New profiles created with an institutional email will be activated automatically.

Venue / visa

CoNLL 2025 will be held in Vienna, Austria. Please note that it is an in-person conference. We expect all accepted papers to be presented physically and presenting authors must register through ACL (workshop). If you need a visa, we encourage you to submit your visa application at submission time.
