PAPER SUBMISSION INFORMATION

 

We invite submissions of original and unpublished works in the fields of research, development, applications, and evaluation, encompassing all aspects of natural language processing, from fundamental inquiries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. 

 

We welcome the following types of paper submissions:

 

  • Long papers (8 pages plus references and appendix), describing original research with substantial new results.
  • Short papers (4 pages plus references and appendix), including small focused contributions, work in progress, as well as descriptions of projects, systems and resources.
  • Long and short papers can be submitted for archival publication, published in the ACL Anthology, and there is the option of non-archival submission. In the case of non-archival submission, only the abstract of the paper (max. 200 words) will be published on our website and the paper will not be part of the conference proceedings.

Accepted papers will be presented orally or as posters as determined by the program chairs. All presentations will take place in person (no online/hybrid format). The decisions will be based on the nature rather than the quality of the work. The conference language is English. Only contributions written in English will be accepted. Each submission must include a mandatory discussion of Ethical Considerations as well as a section on Limitations (both sections do not count towards the page limit). Papers without these sections will be desk-rejected. The review process will be double-blind. Submissions must be anonymized accordingly. The conference proceedings will be published via the ACL Anthology (archival submissions only). Papers must be presented at the conference in order to be published as part of the proceeedings.

 

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: https://openreview.net/group?id=KONVENS/2024/Conference (please, note that the registration of your affiliation/email with OpenReview may take a couple of days; i.e., make sure to create your OpenReview account early in advance).
