Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics

Submission Deadline: 20-Mar-2026

ComputEL-9 will be co-located with ACL 2026 in San Diego, California.
We encourage submissions that explore the interface and intersection
of computational linguistics, documentary linguistics, and
community-based efforts in language revitalization and reclamation.
This includes submissions that:
(i) demonstrate new methods or technologies for tasks or applications
focused on low-resource settings, and in particular, endangered
languages,
(ii) examine the use of specific methods in the analysis of data from
low-resource languages, or demonstrate new methods for analysis of
such data, oriented toward the goals of language reclamation and
revitalization,
(iii) propose new models for the collection, management, and
mobilization of language data in community settings, with attention to
e.g. issues of data sovereignty and community protocols,
(iv) explore concrete steps for a more fruitful interaction among
computer scientists, documentary linguists, and language communities.
Important Dates:
20-Mar-2026: Deadline for submission of papers or extended abstracts
1-May-2026: Notification of Acceptance
early May: Camera-ready papers due (Exact date TBD by ACL)
July 3 or 4, 2026: Workshop (Exact date TBD by ACL)
Submission Link: https://softconf.com/acl2026/ComputEL2026
Presentations:
Presentation of accepted papers 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 multiple overlapping communities,
authors can submit to one of the workshop’s tracks: (a) language
community perspective and (b) academic perspective.
All submissions must be anonymous following ACL guidelines and will be
peer-reviewed by the scientific Program Committee.
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.
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.
