CoNLL 2025: 2nd Call for Papers
Vienna, Austria, July 31 - August 1, 2025 (co-located with ACL)
NEW! This year, CoNLL will only accept direct submissions…
NEW! … both archival and non-archival! (see below)
SIGNLL invites submissions to the 29th Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL 2025). The focus of CoNLL is on theoretically, cognitively and scientifically motivated approaches to computational linguistics. 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
Lexical, Compositional and Discourse Semantics
Theoretical Analysis and Interpretation of ML Models for NLP
Resources and Tools for Scientifically Motivated Research
Submissions
Submission will be via OpenReview. We accept two types of submission: archival, and non-archival.
Non-archival submissions are not anonymous. 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). We are working on the submission site, we’ll announce it on the CoNLL website and social media, as well as in the 3rd CfP. Submissions that are accepted will be presented at the conference either as talks or as poster presentations.
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 does not accept 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.
As for submission of pre-prints to arXiv and other platforms, we 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.
