2nd International Workshop on Gaze Data and Natural Language
Processing at LREC 2026
Short Title: Gaze4NLP

Date: 12-May-2026 - 12-May-2026
Location: Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Meeting URL: https://gaze4nlp.github.io/Gaze4NLP2026/

Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics

Submission Deadline: 16-Feb-2026

The Second Workshop on Gaze Data and Natural Language Processing
(Gaze4NLP), co-located with LREC 2026 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain,
invites papers of a theoretical or experimental nature describing
research methodologies by employing interdisciplinary perspectives,
including computer science and engineering perspectives and cognitive
sciences, and identifying challenges to resolve in the intersection of
the two domains: eye tracking and NLP. Gaze4NLP aims to bring together
researchers conducting research on eyes on eyes on text and NLP; and
establishing bridges between them for identifying future venues of
research.
Workshop webpage:
https://gaze4nlp.github.io/Gaze4NLP2026/
Important Dates:
Workshop paper submission deadline: 16 February 2026
Workshop paper acceptance notification: 16 March 2026
Workshop paper camera-ready versions: 30 March 2026
Workshop date: 12 May 2026
All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 (anywhere on Earth)
Topics for the workshop will include, but are not limited to:
- Investigating the pillars for bridging the gap between the research
on eyes on text and NLP. Study how to expand research methodologies by
employing interdisciplinary perspectives, including computer science
and engineering perspectives and cognitive sciences, and identify
challenges, issues to resolve.
- Exploring new areas so that both fields benefit from each other
better than the past, identifying novel domains of exploration for
further research.
- Discussing how to develop cognitively inspired models that align
human reading data with LLMs.
Submissions:
We solicit regular workshop papers, which will be included in the
proceedings as archival publications. The length of the papers should
be between 4 and 8 pages (excluding references). The submissions
should not include any appendices.  Accepted papers will be presented
in the form of either oral or poster presentations.
Please note that camera-ready papers are allowed an additional page of
content to address reviewer comments, and unlimited pages for
appendices. The workshop proceedings will be part of the ACL
anthology. Accepted papers will also be given an opportunity with an
extended version to be published as part of an edited book.
Submissions will be handled via the START Conference Manager. The
submission link will be provided on the workshop website as soon as it
becomes available. All submissions should follow the LREC style
guidelines. We strongly recommend the use of the LaTeX style files,
OpenDocument, or Microsoft
Word templates created for LREC: https://lrec2026.info/authors-kit/.
All papers must be anonymous, i.e., not reveal author(s) on the title
page or through self-references. So, e.g., “We previously showed
(Smith, 2020)”, should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as
“Smith (2020) previously showed”.
LRE-Map and Sharing Language Resources:
When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to
provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e.
also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been
used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your
research. Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC authors to share the
described LRs (data, tools, services, etc.) to enable their reuse and
replicability of experiments (including evaluation ones).
