the Study of Endangered Languages
Short Title: ComputEL-7

Date: 21-Mar-2024 - 22-Mar-2024
Location: Malta, Malta
Contact Person: Sarah Moeller

Web Site: https://computel-workshop.org/computel-7/

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Language Documentation

Call Deadline: 15-Dec-2023

Meeting Description:

The ComputEL-7 workshop focuses on the use of computational methods in
the study, support, and revitalization of endangered languages. The
primary aim of the workshop is to continue narrowing the gap between
computational linguists interested in methods for endangered
languages, field linguists documenting these languages, and the
language communities who are striving to maintain their languages. We
welcome submissions from any of these groups.

The intention of the workshop is not merely to allow for the
presentation of research, but also to build a network of computational
linguists, documentary linguists, and community language activists who
are able to effectively join together and serve their common
interests.

Workshop Venue

ComputEL-7 will be co-located with the 18th Conference of the European
Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL 2024)
in Malta (https://2024.eacl.org/).

The workshop will be a virtual/in-person hybrid event. Ability to
attend the workshop in person will not affect consideration of
submissions.

2nd Call for Papers:
ComputEL-7 will be co-located with the 18th Conference of the European
Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL 2024)
in Malta (https://2024.eacl.org/).
The workshop will be a virtual/in-person hybrid event. Ability to
attend the workshop in person will not affect consideration of
submissions.
Call for Papers
We encourage submissions that explore the interface and intersection
of computational linguistics, documentary linguistics, and
community-based efforts in language revitalization and reclamation.
This includes submissions that:
(i) examine the use of specific methods in the analysis of data from
low-resource languages, with a focus on endangered languages, or
propose new methods for analysis of such data,
(ii) propose new models for the collection, management, and deployment
of data in endangered language settings,
(iii) consider what concrete steps are required to allow for a more
fruitful interaction between computer scientists, documentary
linguists, and language communities, or
(iv) propose new methods or technologies for tasks or applications
focused on low-resource settings, and in particular, endangered
languages.
Important Dates
15-Dec-2023                     Deadline for submission of papers or
extended abstracts
20-Jan-2024                     Notification of acceptance
27-Jan-2024                     Camera-ready papers due
21 & 22 March-2024      Workshop

Presentations
Presentation of accepted papers will be in both oral sessions and a
poster session. The decision on whether a presentation for a paper
will be oral and/or poster will be made by the Organizing Committee on
the advice of the Program Committee, taking into account the subject
matter and how the content might be best conveyed. Oral and poster
presentations will not be distinguished in the Proceedings.
Submissions
In line with our goal of reaching different academic communities, we
offer two modes of submission: extended abstract and full paper. The
mode of submission does not influence the likelihood of acceptance.
Either can be submitted to one of the workshop’s tracks: (a) language
community perspective and (b) academic perspective.
Submissions must be uploaded to SoftConf
(https://softconf.com/eacl2024/Computel-7/) no later than 15 December,
2023 11:59PM (UTC-12, “anywhere on earth”). This link for submissions
will also be posted on the ComputEL website soon:
https://computel-workshop.org/computel-7/.



All submissions must be anonymous following ACL guidelines and will be
peer-reviewed by the scientific committee. Notification of acceptance
will be sent out by January 20, 2024.
A. Extended Abstract:
Please submit anonymous abstracts of up to 1500 words, excluding
references. Extended abstracts must be submitted as attached
documents.
B. Full Paper:
Please submit anonymously either a) a long paper (max. 8 pages
excluding references and appendices) or b) a short paper (max. 4 pages
excluding references) according to the style and formatting guidelines
provided in by ACL Style Files (download template files for LaTeX or
Microsoft Word: https://computel-workshop.org/computel-7/).
