CoNLL 2025: Call for Papers

The 29th Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL 2025) will be held in Vienna, Austria, July 31 - August 1, 2025 (co-located with ACL).

CoNLL focuses on theoretically, cognitively and scientifically motivated approaches to computational linguistics, rather than on work driven by particular engineering applications.

Topics of Interest

We welcome work targeting any aspect of language and its computational modeling, including:

• 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
• Lexical, Compositional and Discourse Semantics
• Theoretical Analysis and Interpretation of ML Models for NLP
• Resources and Tools for Scientifically Motivated Research

The submissions’ relevance to the conference’s focus on theoretically, cognitively and scientifically motivated approaches will play an important role in the review process.

Submission Guidelines

• Submitted papers 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.
• Submission will be via OpenReview.
• CoNLL 2025 will also accept ARR submission depending on the full review to be completed by May 19 2025.
• We expect all accepted papers to be presented physically and presenting authors must register through ACL (workshop).

Multiple Submission Policy

CoNLL 2025 will refuse papers that are currently under submission, or that will be submitted to other meetings or publications, including ACL. Papers submitted elsewhere and papers that overlap significantly in content or results with papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere will be rejected.

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.

Venue

CoNLL 2025 will be held in-person, along with ACL in Vienna, Austria.
