CALL FOR PAPERS: FIRST WORKSHOP ON COMPUTATIONAL DEVELOPMENTAL
LINGUISTICS @ACL 2026, SAN DIEGO
Friday, 3 July 2026 to Tuesday, 7 July 2026
Website:
https://comp-dev-ling.github.io/
Submission Deadline:
Friday, 20 March 2026
We are pleased to invite submissions to the First Workshop on
Computational Developmental Linguistics (CDL,
https://comp-dev-ling.github.io/), co-located with ACL 2026 in San
Diego, CA, USA. The workshop will take place between July 3rd and July
7th (exact date to be confirmed).
The workshop aims to bridge the conversation between modern machine
learning and developmental linguistics. We hope to draw inspiration from
both fields, identifying similarities and differences in the
(im)plausibilities of comparing LMs and human language learning, to
motivate better LM engineering and more rigorous computational modeling
of human language acquisition.
The scope and topics include, but are not limited to:
* Computational models for developmental linguistics.
* Learning dynamics in pretraining and post-training of LMs.
* Comparisons of developmental linguistics in humans and machines.
* Knowledge tracing and developmental diagnostics.
* Applications of developmental insights in language education and
clinical NLP.
Important Dates
* Submission Due: March 20th, 2026
* Review Due: April 22nd, 2026
* Notification of Acceptance: May 1st, 2026
* Camera-Ready Due (tentative): May 15th, 2026
Submission types include long papers (up to 8 pages, both archival and
non-archival), short papers (up to 4 pages, both archival and
non-archival), and ARR commitments (both archival and non-archival).
Archival papers will receive an additional page in the camera-ready
version to address reviewers' feedback and will be published in the ACL
Anthology.
