Submission Deadline: 16-Nov-2025
The International Conference on Computational Processing of Portuguese
(PROPOR) is the main event in the area of human language processing
that is focused on theoretical and technological issues of written and
spoken Portuguese and Galician. The meeting has been a very rich forum
for the exchange of ideas and partnerships for the research and
industry communities dedicated to automated language processing,
promoting the development of methodologies, resources, and projects.
We call for papers describing work on any topic related to the
computational processing of Portuguese and Galician by researchers in
industry or academia. Topics of interest include, but are not limited
to:
- Natural language processing tasks (e.g., parsing, word sense
disambiguation, coreference resolution)
- Natural language processing applications (e.g., question answering,
subtitling, summarization, sentiment analysis)
- Natural language generation
- Information extraction and information retrieval
- Speech technologies (e.g., spoken language generation, speech and
speaker recognition, spoken language understanding)
- Speech applications (e.g., spoken language interfaces, dialogue
systems, speech-to-speech translation)
- Resources, standardization, and evaluation (e.g., corpora,
ontologies, lexicons, grammars)
- NLP-oriented linguistic description or theoretical analysis
- Distributional semantics and language modeling
- Portuguese language varieties and dialect processing (including the
language varieties of Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, East Timor, Galicia,
Guinea-Bissau, Macau, Mozambique, Portugal, and São Tomé and Principe)
- Multilingual studies, methods, applications, and resources,
Portuguese and/or Galician
PROPOR 2026 will take place from April 13th to 16th in Salvador - BA
(Brazil), a city that stands as a historical meeting point between the
Portuguese language, the Indigenous languages of Brazil, and the
African languages brought by enslaved peoples from Africa. This
linguistic and cultural contact profoundly shaped Brazilian Portuguese
and Brazilian culture.
PROPOR 2026 will be the 17th edition of the biannual PROPOR
conference, hosted alternately in Brazil and Portugal, and more
recently also in Galiza. Past meetings were held in Lisbon, PT (1993);
Curitiba, BR (1996); Porto Alegre, BR (1998); Évora, PT (1999);
Atibaia, BR (2000); Faro, PT (2003); Itatiaia, BR (2006); Aveiro, PT
(2008); Porto Alegre, BR (2010); Coimbra, PT (2012); São Carlos, BR
(2014); Tomar, PT (2016); Canela, BR (2018); Évora, PT (2020);
Fortaleza, BR (2022); and Santiago de Compostela, GZ (2026).
Submissions:
Submissions should describe original, unpublished work. Authors are
invited to submit two kinds of papers:
- Full papers reporting substantial and completed work, especially
those that may contribute in a significant way to the advancement of
the area. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation results should be
included. Full papers can have up to 8 content pages + 2 pages for
references.
- Short papers reporting small, focused contributions such as ongoing
work, position papers, potential ideas to be discussed, negative
results, or an interesting application nugget. Short papers can have
up to 4 content pages + 1 page for references.
Each submission will be evaluated by at least two reviewers. As
reviewing will be double-blind, submitted papers must be anonymized.
Submissions should not include the authors’ names, affiliations, or
any other information that could be used to identify them. Authors
must avoid self-references that reveal identity, like “We previously
showed (Freitas, 1991) …”. Instead, they should prefer citations such
as “Freitas (1991) previously showed …”. Separate author
identification information will be required as part of the submission
process.
While recent editions have only accepted submissions in English, this
year we are pleased to also accept papers written in Portuguese,
reaffirming our commitment to promoting scientific exchange in our
language.
At submission time, only PDF format is accepted. For the final
versions, authors of accepted papers will be given 1 extra content
page to incorporate the reviews’ suggestions. Authors of accepted
papers will be requested to send the source files for the production
of the proceedings.
Papers should be submitted via the following URL
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/PROPOR2026 by either selecting the
track PROPOR2026 Long and short papers.
Multiple-submission Policy:
For submissions that have been or will be submitted to other meetings
or publications, this information must be provided at submission time.
If a submission is accepted, authors must notify the program chairs,
indicating which meeting they choose for presentation of their work.
Papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere cannot be
accepted for publication or presentation.
Mandatory Reviewing Workload:
As the pace of research in the field continues to increase, we need to
strengthen the commitment to reviewing for each paper submission.
During the submission process, authors will be required to specify
which co-authors are committing to cover reviewing in the event.
Publication:
The proceedings of PROPOR 2026 will be published in the ACL Anthology.
They will be available online. To ensure publication, at least one
author of each accepted paper must complete a full registration for
PROPOR 2026 by the early registration deadline.
Ethics Policy:
Authors are advised to follow the ACL Ethics Policy for submission,
which can be found at: https://aclrollingreview.org/cfp#ethics-policy
Authors are also strongly advised to follow the ACL guidelines for
generative AI assistance in authorship, which can be found at:
https://www.aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php/ACL_Policy_on_Publication_Ethics#Guidelines_for_Generative_Assistance_in_Authorship
Important Dates:
Full and short paper submission deadline: 16 November 2025 (23:59
GMT-12)
Notification of paper acceptance or rejection: 02 February 2026
Camera-ready papers due: 15 March 2026
