We are particularly interested in the following topics:

• Transfer learning for under-resourced language processing;
• The use of fieldwork data to build NLP systems;
• Modeling morphology and syntax of typologically diverse languages in the low-resource setting;
• Speech processing for under-resourced languages;
• Computational analysis of field linguistics datasets;
• Using technology for preserving culture via language;
• Improving ways of interaction with Indigenous communities;
• Machine-readable field linguistic datasets.

We accept three types of papers:

• non-archival submissions: 2-page abstracts that can present already published work or work in progress;
• short archival submissions: 4-page abstracts that present new work;
• long archival submissions: 8-page abstracts that present new work.

We offer three ways of presenting the papers:
