*** CMCL – 2nd Call for Papers***
The 13th edition of the Workshop on Cognitive Modeling and Computational 
Linguistics (CMCL 2024) will be co-located with the 62nd Annual Meeting of the 
Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL 2024).

*Workshop Description*
CMCL 2024 is a one-day workshop held in conjunction with ACL 2024. CMCL invites 
papers on cognitive modeling, cognitively-inspired natural language processing, 
and, more broadly, the alignment of language models with human 
cognition/perception. The 2024 workshop follows in the tradition of earlier 
meetings at ACL 2010, ACL 2011, NAACL-HLT 2012, ACL 2013, ACL 2014, NAACL 2015, 
EACL 2017, LSA 2018, NAACL 2019, EMNLP 2020, NAACL 2021, and ACL 2022.

*Scope and Topics*
The research interests/questions include, but are not limited to:
- Human-like language acquisition/learning: How is language acquisition of 
language models (LMs) (dis)similar to
humans, and why?
- Contrasting/aligning NLP models with human behavior data: What do humans 
compute during language comprehension/production, and how/why?
- Linguistic probing of NLP models: How well do current language models 
understand/represent/generalize language behaviorally/internally?
- Linguistically-motivated data modeling/analysis: How can one quantify a 
particular aspect of language?
- Emergent communication/language: What are the sufficient conditions for the 
emergence of language?

A more formal description of the workshop scope is:
- Stochastic models of factors influencing a speaker's production or 
comprehension decisions.
- Models of semantic interpretation, including psychologically realistic 
notions of word and phrase meaning and composition.
- Incremental parsers for diverse grammar formalisms and their psychological 
plausibility.
- Models of speaker-specific linguistic adaptation and/or generalization.
- Models of first and second language acquisition and bilingual language 
processing.
- Behavioral tasks for better understanding neural models of linguistic 
representation.
- Models and empirical analysis of the relationship between mechanistic 
psycholinguistic principles and pragmatics or semantics.
- Models of lexical acquisition, including phonology, morphology, and semantics.
- Psychologically motivated models of grammar induction.
- Psychologically plausible models of lexical or conceptual representations.
- Models of language disorders, such as aphasia, dyslexia, or dysgraphia.
- Behavioral datasets or resources for modeling language processing or 
production in languages other than English.
- Models of language comprehension difficulty.
- Models of language learning and generalization.
- Models of linguistic information propagation and language evolution in 
communities.
- Cognitively-motivated models of discourse and dialogue.

notification of ACL 2024)
- June 17, 2024: Notification of acceptance
- July 1, 2024: Camera-ready paper due

*Workshop submissions*
CMCL accepts direct submissions through the OpenReview site: 
https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/ACL/2024/Workshop/CMCL
We also receive papers already reviewed in ACL Rolling Review (ARR) February or 
earlier: 
https://openreview.net/group?id=aclweb.org/ACL/2024/Workshop/CMCL_ARR_Commitment
There is no need that the CMCL is mentioned as a preferred venue in the 
original ARR submission.
Detiailed submission flow/schedule is shown in our workshop webpage: 
https://cmclorg.github.io/

*Submission types*
We invite three types of submissions:
(1) Archival regular workshop submissions that present original research in 
either long (8 pages + references) or short (4 pages + references) paper format.
(2) Non-archival submissions of extended abstracts that present preliminary 
results (from 2 to 4 pages + references).
(3) Non-archival cross-submission of long/short papers that present relevant 
research submitted/published elsewhere (including ACL "Findings of..." papers).

- Only regular workshop papers submitted via (1) will be included in the 
proceedings, but all types of papers will have a presentation opportunity in 
the workshop.
- Submissions must be formatted using the ACL style template 
(https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files) and be submitted as a PDF file.
- We adhere to the ACL anonymity policy: 
https://www.aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php/ACL_Anonymity_Policy
- This year, we don't host a shared task.
