Third Call for Main Conference Papers


The 31st International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING 2025) will take place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, January 19-24 2025. COLING 2025 invites the submission of long and short papers featuring substantial, original, and unpublished research in all aspects of Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing.

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

Dialogue and Interactive Systems
Discourse and Pragmatics
Document Classification and Topic Modeling
Ethics, Bias, and Fairness
Information Extraction
Information Retrieval and Text Mining
Interpretability and Analysis of Models for NLP
Language Modeling
Language Resources and Evaluation
Linguistic Insights Derived using Computational Techniques
Linguistic Theories, Cognitive Modeling and Psycholinguistics
Low-Resource and Efficient Methods for NLP
Machine Learning for Computational Linguistics and NLP
Machine Translation and Translation Aids
Multilingualism and Language Diversity
Multimodal and Grounded Language Acquisition
NLP and LLM Applications (such as Education, Healthcare, Finance, Legal NLP, Computational Social Science, etc.)
Natural Language Generation
Offensive Speech Detection and Analysis
Phonology, Morphology and Word Segmentation
Question Answering
Lexical Semantics
Sentence-level Semantics (Textual Inference, Paraphrasing, etc)
Sentiment Analysis, Stylistic Analysis, Opinion and Argument Mining
Speech Recognition and Synthesis, and Spoken Language Understanding
Summarization and Simplification
Syntactic analysis (tagging, chunking, parsing)
Vision and Robotics
Papers targeting any of these topics from the perspective of the Sustainability Goals of the UN are especially welcome.



Important Dates
All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 (“anywhere on Earth”).

Deadline for direct submissions September 16, 2024
Commitment deadline for ARR papers October 20, 2024
Notification of acceptance for COLING 2025 November 29, 2024
Tutorials and Workshops January 19-20, 2025
Main Conference January 21-24, 2025


Submission Details
COLING 2025 invites the submission of long papers of up to eight pages and short papers of up to four pages. These page limits only apply to the main body of the paper. At the end of the paper, after the main body but before the references, papers need to include a mandatory section discussing the limitations of the work and, optionally, a section discussing ethical considerations. Papers can include unlimited pages of references and an unlimited appendix. Authors must follow the two-column format of *ACL conferences.

COLING 2025 adopts the ACL Ethics Policy.

Submissions will only be accepted in PDF format, with optional supplementary materials such as software and data. Deviations from the provided templates will result in rejection without review.

COLING 2025 will allow two routes for paper submission:

Direct submission: Papers submitted via this route will undergo a normal review process. Papers will be assigned to three reviewers and authors will have the opportunity to provide a short rebuttal to clarify any misunderstandings.
ARR papers: Papers which have already been reviewed through the ACL Rolling Review (ARR) system can be committed to COLING 2025. These papers will not be re-reviewed. Senior Area Chairs and Program Chairs will make acceptance decisions based on the ARR reviews and meta-reviews.
The review process will be double-blind. Reviewers will not see authors, authors will not see reviewers. Reviews and submissions will not be made publicly visible.

Anonymity Period
COLING 2025 will follow the ACL Anonymity Policy. As a result, no anonymity period will be required, although authors are still cautioned against extensive advertising. The submissions themselves must still be fully anonymized.

Multiple Submission Policy
Papers which are submitted to COLING 2025 cannot be under review for other conferences or journals at the same time. The commitment process is treated as being under review for a conference. Authors can either commit their paper through ARR or directly submit it to the conference. Papers reviewed and committed to the conference through ARR cannot be submitted directly to the

conference. In addition, we will not consider any paper that overlaps significantly in content or results with papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere. Submissions that violate these requirements will be desk rejected.
