Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Language Documentation 

Call Deadline: 25-Feb-2022 

Meeting Description:

The ComputEL-5 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 take seriously the goal of reaching all relevant communities. To support
this goal, ComputEL aims to alternate co-location with computational
linguistics conferences and language documentation conferences. ComputEL-5
will be co-located with the 60th Annual Meeting of the Association for
Computational Linguistics (ACL 2022) in Dublin, Ireland
(https://www.2022.aclweb.org).

Workshop format/venue and the COVID-19 pandemic

Our current intention is for ComputEL-5 to take place in person following the
main conference hosted in Dublin. See ACL 2022 conference programme for exact
date: https://www.2022.aclweb.org/conference-programme
However, due to the continued uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we
are also considering various options for holding ComputEL-5 as a fully virtual
or virtual/in-person hybrid workshop. We plan to announce a final decision
about the workshop format by April 1, 2022.


2nd Call for Papers:

Workshop format/venue and the COVID-19 pandemic

ComputEL-5 will be co-located with the 60th Annual Meeting of the Association
for Computational Linguistics (ACL 2022) in Dublin, Ireland
(www.2022.aclweb.org). The workshop will be a virtual/in-person hybrid event.
Ability to attend the workshop in person will not affect consideration of
submissions.

Submissions are invited which explore the interface and intersection of
computational linguistics, documentary linguistics, and community-based
language revitalization and conservation efforts. The organizing committee
encourages submissions which:
(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, or
(iii) consider what concrete steps are required to allow for a more fruitful
interaction between computer scientists, documentary linguists, and language
communities.

Presentations

Presentation 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. Please indicate in the submission which of the two modes
(Extended abstract or Full paper) and which track you are submitting to.
Submissions must be uploaded to OpenReview no later than February 25, 2022,
11:59PM (UTC-12, “anywhere on earth”):
https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/ACL/2022/Workshop/ComputEL  
Previous submissions to ACL’s OpenReview must be committed to this workshop no
later than March 15, 2022 along with reviews and meta-reviews.
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 April 1, 2022.
A. Extended abstract:
Please submit anonymous abstracts of up to 1500 words, excluding references. 
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-5/). 

Proceedings

The authors of selected accepted full papers (long or short) will be invited
by the Organizing Committee to submit their papers for online publication via
the open-access ACL Anthology. Final versions of long and short papers will be
allotted one additional page (altogether 5 and 9 pages) excluding references.
Extended abstracts will be allowed an additional 500 words. Proceedings papers
should be revised and improved versions of the work that was submitted for,
and which underwent, review. Any revisions should concern responses to
reviewer comments or the addition of relevant details and clarifications, but
not entirely new, unreviewed content. Camera-ready versions of the articles
for publication will be due on April 22, 2022.

Important Dates:

25-February-2022    Deadline for submission of papers or short abstracts
15-March-2022        Commitment deadline for ARR papers with reviews &
meta-reviews
1-April-2022             Notification of acceptance
22-April-2022           Camera-ready papers due
26 & 27 May-2022    Workshop
