Second announcement and call for papers for EACL 2021.

The 16th conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL) will be held from 19 to 23 April, 2021. While we were planning to hold the conference in Kyiv, due to the current COVID situation the conference will be held entirely online.

As in previous years, the program of the conference includes poster sessions, tutorials, workshops, and demonstrations in addition to the main conference, As the flagship European conference in the field of computational linguistics, EACL welcomes European and international researchers covering a broad spectrum of research areas that are concerned with computational approaches to natural language.

We invite submission of long and short papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research in all aspects of natural language processing, including but not limited to the following areas:

* Cognitive modeling and Psycholinguistics
* Dialog and Interactive Systems
* Discourse and Pragmatics
* Document analysis including Text Categorization, Topic Models and Information Retrieval
* Generation
* Information Extraction, Text Mining and Question Answering
* Machine learning in NLP
* Machine translation
* Multilinguality
* Phonology, Morphology, and Word Segmentation
* Resources and Evaluation
* Semantics
* Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining
* Social Media
* Speech
* Summarization
* Tagging, Chunking, Syntax, and Parsing
* Vision, Robots, and other Grounding

To reflect recent growing areas of interest, this year we will hold three additional tracks:

* Interpretability and Explainability
* Green and Sustainable NLP
* NLP and Crisis Management

Furthermore, we also welcome position papers reflecting on the current state-of-the-art in relation to prior research and future directions.
