Meeting Description:

The ComputEL-6 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.


2nd Call for Papers:

See full call here:
https://computel-workshop.org/computel-6/computel-6-call-for-papers/

We take seriously the goal of reaching all relevant communities. To support
this goal, we hold ComputEL in conjunction with computational linguistics
conferences and language documentation conferences. ComputEL-6 will be
co-located with the 8th International Conference on Language Documentation and
Revitalization (ICLDC8).

Workshop format/venue and the COVID-19 pandemic:
ComputEL-6 will be held virtually on March 5 and March 6, 2023, following the
8th International Conference of Language Documentation and Conservation.

Papers are invited which explore the interface and intersection of
computational linguistics, documentary linguistics, and community-based
language revitalization and conservation efforts. The 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 analyzing 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 facilitate more fruitful
interaction between computer scientists, documentary linguists, and language
communities; or
(iv) discuss the evolution and workings of partnerships between language
communities, documentary linguists and/or computational linguists in the
development of languages technology for languages revitalization efforts.
The intention of the workshop is not merely to allow for the presentation of
research, but also to continue building a network of computational linguists,
documentary linguists, and community linguists and language activists who are
able to effectively work together and serve their common interests.

Presentations
Accepted submissions will be allowed 20 minute presentations. Presentations
will be pre-recorded. Additionally, presenters will give a live 5-minute
summary presentation during the conference. This summary will be followed with
a live question and answer period.

Submissions
Please use the following link to submit your paper:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=computel6
In line with our goal of reaching different academic communities, we offer two
different modes of submission: extended abstract or full paper. Either can be
submitted to one of our two tracks: (a) language community perspective and (b)
academic perspective. The mode of submission does not influence the likelihood
of acceptance. 

Submissions must be uploaded no later than NOVEMBER 14, 2022, 11:59PM (UTC-12
time zone, “anywhere on earth”). Please indicate in the submission which of
the two modes (Extended abstract or Full paper) you are submitting to.
All submissions must be anonymous and will be peer-reviewed by the scientific
committee. Notification of acceptance will be sent out by Jan. 20, 2023.
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) or b) a short paper (max. 4 pages, excluding references).

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.

In addition to the regular ComputEL-6 programming, this year we will be
hosting a special theme session discussion in concert with ICLDC8. In keeping
with the theme of ICLDC8, this Special Session at ComputEL-6 will focus on
''Justice through Technology''. The goal of this Special Theme Session is to
increase our shared understanding of how language technology can help, or
harm, the pursuit of social justice and equity.

We invite presentations that address two broad topics: (1) Justice in Data and
(2) Justice in Language Technology, within the context of endangered languages
and associated communities. Abstracts making reference to an endangered
language community should be co-authored with a member of the community.
