CALL FOR PAPERS
Student Research Workshop co-located with ACL 2025 in Vienna, Austria.
Main Conference: July 27 to August 1, 2025
_Paper Submission Deadline: May 18th, 2025_
Submission link for the workshop is now available here [1]
ABOUT THE STUDENT RESEARCH WORKSHOP
The ACL 2025 Student Research Workshop (SRW) is a forum to bring
together students investigating various areas of Computational
Linguistics, Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. The
workshop provides an excellent opportunity for participants to present
their work and to receive mentorship and valuable feedback from the
international research community.
The workshop's goal is to aid students at multiple stages of their
education, including highschool, undergraduate, MSc/MA, junior and
senior PhD students, in getting familiar with conducting and presenting
their research.
We are recruiting mentors to give feedback and guidance on student
papers! (It will begin in May, 2025, More Information here [2].) Please
fill out the form [3] if you are interested!
Also, we are seeking reviewers. If you are interested, please fill out
this form [4].
Follow us on X/Twitter [5] for the latest updates!
GENERAL RULES FOR SUBMISSION
We invite papers in two different categories:
* Thesis Proposals: This category is appropriate for PhD students who
have decided on a thesis topic and wish to get feedback on their
proposal and broader ideas for their continuing work.
* Research Papers: Papers in this category can describe completed
work, or work in progress with preliminary results. For these papers,
the first author MUST BE a current student (high school, graduate, or
undergraduate). Topics of interest for the SRW are the same as for the
main ACL 2025 conference [6].
Submissions (in both categories) may be archival or non-archival, based
on the wish of the authors. All archival papers will be published in the
ACL 2025 SRW Proceedings. Non-archival papers may be submitted to any
venue in the future except for another SRW.
WHY SUBMIT TO ACL SRW?
There are many good reasons to submit to the ACL SRW, such as:
* Mentorship program: ACL SRW provides a unique opportunity for
students to receive constructive feedback and to improve their work
through a pre-submission mentorship program.
* Improving your publication record: publishing a paper as an
undergraduate or as a MSc/MA student is beneficial when applying for a
PhD program. Publishing a paper in an ACL SRW workshop can be really
helpful for improving students' publication record.
* Explorative Studies: We encourage the submission of studies with
positive and negative results providing insights on why and in which
scenarios a particular method succeeds and fails.
All accepted papers and thesis proposals will be presented either as
oral presentations or during poster sessions, which will give students
an opportunity to interact with and to present their work to a large and
diverse audience, including top researchers in the field and assigned
mentors.
PRE-SUBMISSION MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
The SRW offers students the opportunity to receive feedback prior to
submitting their work for review. The goal of the pre-submission
mentorship program is to improve the quality of writing and presentation
of the student's work, not to critique the work itself. Participation is
optional but encouraged. The pre-submission mentorship is not anonymous.
Students wishing to participate in the pre-submission mentorship must
submit their paper draft by March 27, 2025.
Note that even though the mentoring is not done anonymously, the paper
needs to be anonymized. We will check for the formality of the paper
including formatting before we match it with mentors.
The participants will be assigned a mentor who will review and will
provide feedback within four weeks. This mentor will not be the same
person who will review the final submission. The feedback will be in the
form of guidelines and suggestions to improve the overall writing, which
should ideally be incorporated before the actual submission deadline.
You CAN submit a paper at the SRW submission deadline even if you did
not participate in the pre-submission mentoring. If you did submit a
draft for pre-submission mentoring, you will need to make a new
submission for the final version of the paper. The submission website
will have separate tracks for pre-submission mentorship and the final
paper submission.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
We accept both archival submissions (which will be included in the
conference proceedings) and non-archival submissions (which will be
presented at the workshop but will not be included in the proceedings).
All submissions (archival and non-archival) must follow the anonymity
period and the restrictions of the main conference.
Long papers consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, plus an
unlimited number of pages for references and supplementary material like
the appendix. Upon acceptance, papers will be given one additional page
of content (up to 9 pages).
Short papers consist of up to four (4) pages of content, plus an
unlimited number of pages for references and supplementary material like
the appendix. Upon acceptance, papers will be given one additional page
of content (up to 5 pages).
Authors are encouraged to use the additional page to address reviewers'
comments. Paper submissions must use the official ACL style templates,
which are available as an Overleaf template [7] and also downloadable
[8] directly (Latex and Word). We strongly encourage participants to use
the Latex template. All submissions must be in PDF format and must
conform to the official style guidelines, which are contained in these
template files. The review process will be double-blind, and thus all
submissions must be anonymized. The SRW invites papers on topics related
to computational linguistics, including but not limited to the
following:
* Computational Social Science and Social Media
* Dialogue and Interactive Systems
* Discourse and Pragmatics
* Ethics and NLP
* Information Extraction
* Information Retrieval and Text Mining
* Interpretability and Analysis of Models for NLP
* Language Grounding to Vision, Robotics, and Beyond
* Large Language Models
* Linguistic Theories, Cognitive Modeling, and Psycholinguistics
* Machine Learning for NLP
* Machine Translation and Multilinguality
* NLP Applications
* Phonology, Morphology, and Word Segmentation
* Question Answering
* Resources and Evaluation
* Semantics: Lexical
* Semantics: Sentence-level Semantics, Textual - Inference, and Other
Areas
* Sentiment Analysis, Stylistic Analysis, and Argument Mining
* Speech and Multimodality
* Summarization
* Syntax: Tagging, Chunking, and Parsing
* Thesis Proposals
GRANTS
We expect to have grants to offset some portion of students' travel,
conference registration, and accommodation expenses. Further details
will be posted on the SRW website. To contact the organizers of the
workshop, please email us at: [email protected]
