Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Language Documentation

Submission Deadline: 02-Oct-2026

ComputEL-10 will be co-located with the 10th International Conference
on Language Documentation and Conservation (ICLDC 10) in Honolulu,
Hawaii. ComputEL-10 and ICDLC 10 do not have joint registration. If
you wish to attend ICDLC 10, visit their website:
https://ling.lll.hawaii.edu/sites/icldc/.
ComputEL-10 explores the interface and intersection of computational
linguistics, documentary linguistics, and community-based efforts in
language revitalization and reclamation. We encourage submissions that
present their work from an interdisciplinary perspective with a focus
on one of three areas:
(i) Academic: develop new methods or technologies for tasks or
applications focused on low-resource, and in particular, endangered
languages; propose models in the study or processing of
under-documented languages; or evaluate tools or methods for curation
and analysis of data in such languages, oriented towards language
documentation, description, reclamation and revitalization;
(ii) Community: develop new technology toward the goals of language
reclamation, revitalization, including language teaching and
acquisition; propose new models for the collection, management, and
mobilization of language data in community settings, with attention to
issues of data sovereignty and community protocols and involvement;
describes new uses of language technology by the language's community;
(iii) Collaboration: describe challenges and rewards in past or
on-going collaboration and interaction among computer scientists
and/or documentary linguists that involve(d) language communities;
formulate concrete steps for a more fruitful interaction among
computer scientists, documentary linguists, and language communities.
Note: priority will be given to descriptions of actual collaborations
(successful or unsuccessful) over proposals or position papers. (For
an example, see Cox et al. 2025:
https://aclanthology.org/2025.computel-main.12/)
Important Dates:
2 October, 2026 - Deadline for submission of papers
13 November 2026 - Notification of Acceptance
2-3 March 2027 - Workshop
Submissions:
We offer two types of submissions: abstracts and papers. Please
carefully read the requirements below. Submissions that do not fulfill
all relevant requirements will be desk-rejected. The type of
submission does not influence the likelihood of acceptance.
General Requirements for All Submissions:
All submissions must be anonymous. Both submission types have the same
deadline.
Authors may submit no more than two submissions where they are
co-author. In no case may an author submit more than one individually-
or first-authored submission. Authors must submit and present in
English. Proposals will undergo blind review, so please do not list
your name, affiliation, or contact information within the file.
(Author names appearing in reference lists or citations are fine and
do not need to be anonymized.)
Abstracts:
Abstracts clearly describe the content that author intends to present
to the ComputEL-10 audience. Abstracts are max. 800 words not
including title or references. Abstracts will NOT be published (in the
Proceedings of the workshop in ACL Anthology). Abstracts are intended
for academics not accustomed to publishing in proceedings or
non-academic community members wishing to share with and receive
feedback from the other communities. Upload your abstract as a PDF or
MS Word file.
Papers:
Paper submission can be of two lengths: short (up to 4 pages) or long
(up to 8 pages) paper. The length of submission does not influence the
likelihood of acceptance. Both paper types must include a section on
ethical consideration and a section on limitations; these sections are
not considered part of the page limit. Papers must follow the style
and formatting guidelines provided in by ACL Style Files (download
template files for LaTeX: https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files).
Submissions that violate anonymity, exceed the length requirements, or
are missing an ethics or a limitations section will be desk rejected.
ACL has discontinued making available a submission template for
Microsoft Word. Therefore, we strongly recommend using the above LaTeX
template with Overleaf, which enables WYSIWYG editing. Nevertheless,
we do allow the use of the older ACL Microsoft Word template:
https://2023.aclweb.org/calls/style_and_formatting/. While we intend
to help accepted authors convert their paper into a format acceptable
for ACL Anthology, we may not be able to resolve all potential
discrepancies. Therefore, using the MS Word template may run the risk
of not being accepted for publication. If you wish assistance with
LaTeX, please email soon.
A. Short Paper:
Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished work.
They are max. 4 pages excluding references and sections on ethical
consideration and limitations. A short paper is not a shortened long
paper. Instead, short papers have a small, focused contribution or
describe work in progress (“working paper”). Recommended topics for
short papers include pilot studies, negative results, opinion pieces,
interesting application nuggets, or descriptions of initial
collaborative teamwork.
B. Long Paper:
Long papers must describe substantial, original, completed and
unpublished work. Long papers are max. 8 pages excluding references
and appendices and sections on ethical consideration and limitations.
Wherever appropriate, concrete qualitative and quantitative evaluation
and analysis should be included.
Proceedings:
The Organizing Committee will select from the papers (excluding all
abstracts) that have been accepted for presentation at the workshop
for online publication via the open-access ACL Anthology. Not all
accepted papers for presentation are guaranteed inclusion in the
publication. Long and short papers that are accepted for publication
will be allotted one additional page (altogether 5 and 9 pages)
excluding references and ethics and limitations sections. Papers
accepted for inclusion in the Anthology must be revised versions of
the work that underwent ComputEL-10 review. Revisions and improvements
should address reviewer comments or add relevant details and
clarifications, but should not include entirely new, unreviewed
content.
