Final Call for Papers:
IWCS is a biennial conference on computational semantics. This year's
edition is organized by Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. The
conference is endorsed by SIGSEM, the ACL Special Interest Group on
Computational Semantics.
The aim of the IWCS conference is to bring together researchers
interested in any aspects of the computation, annotation, extraction,
representation and learning of meaning in natural language, whether
this is from a lexical or structural semantic perspective. IWCS
embraces both symbolic and machine learning approaches to
computational semantics, and everything in between. The conference and
workshops will take place 22-24 September 2025.
The invited speakers of IWCS 2025 are:
Oana-Maria Camburu (University College London)
Alexander Koller (Saarland University)
Denis Paperno (Utrecht University)
We invite paper submissions in all areas of computational semantics,
in other words all computational aspects of meaning of natural
language within written, spoken, signed, or multi-modal communication.
Submissions are invited on these closely related areas:
 - design of meaning representations
 - syntax-semantics interface
 - representing and resolving semantic ambiguity
 - shallow and deep semantic processing and reasoning
 - hybrid symbolic and statistical approaches to semantics
 - distributional semantics
 - alternative approaches to compositional semantics
 - inference methods for computational semantics
 - recognising textual entailment
 - learning by reading
 - methodologies and practices for semantic annotation
 - machine learning of semantic structures
 - probabilistic computational semantics
 - neural semantic parsing
 - computing meaning with large language models
 - computational aspects of lexical semantics
 - semantics and ontologies
 - semantic web and natural language processing
 - semantic aspects of language generation
 - generating from meaning representations
 - semantic relations in discourse and dialogue
 - semantics and pragmatics of dialogue acts
 - multimodal and grounded approaches to computing meaning
 - semantics-pragmatics interface
 - applications of computational semantics
Submission Information:
Two types of submission are solicited: long papers and short papers.
Both types should be submitted no later than 13 June 2025 (anywhere on
earth).
Long papers should describe original research and must not exceed 8
pages. Short papers (typically system or project descriptions, or
ongoing research) must not exceed 4 pages. Acknowledgments,
references, a limitations section (optional), an ethics statement
(optional), and a technical appendix (optional, not subject to
reviewing) do not count towards the page limit. Accepted papers get an
extra page in the camera-ready version and will be published in the
conference proceedings in the ACL Anthology. For inclusion in the
proceedings, at least one author must register to the conference and
present the paper in person. Papers will be accepted either for oral
presentation or for a poster presentation.
Submissions should be fully anonymous to ensure double-blind
reviewing.
IWCS 2025 papers should be formatted following the common two-column
structure as used by IWCS 2021 (borrowed from ACL 2021). Please use
these specific style-files or the Overleaf template.
Style files:
https://iwcs2021.github.io/download/iwcs2021-templates.zip
Overleaf template:
https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/instructions-for-iwcs-2021-proceedings/fpnsyxqqpfbw
Submitting:
Papers should be submitted in PDF format.
Submission link: https://openreview.net/group?id=IWCS/2025/Conference
Please contact the program chairs if you have problems using
OpenReview.
No Anonymity Period:
IWCS 2025 does not have an anonymity period. However, we ask you to be
reasonable and not publicly advertise your preprint during (or right
before) review.
Double Submission Policy:
Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or
publications must indicate this at submission time. Authors of papers
accepted for presentation at IWCS 2025 must notify the program chairs
by the camera-ready deadline as to whether the paper will be
presented. All accepted papers must be presented at the conference to
appear in the proceedings. We will not accept for publication or
presentation papers that overlap significantly in content or results
with papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere.
Important Dates:
All dates are anywhere on Earth.
 - Paper submission: 13 June 2025
 - Notification of acceptance: 01 August 2025
 - Camera-ready due: 22 August 2025
 - IWCS conference: 22-24 September 2025
