== AACL-IJCNLP 2026 ==<br />
'''Conference Coordination Committee''': The CCC for AACL-IJCNLP 2026 is chaired by Xuanjing Huang (Fudan, AACL Chair), with Maggie Wenjie Li (PolyU, AACL Chair-elect), Thepchai Supnithi (NECTEC, AACL Secretary), Lun-Wei Ku (Academia Sinica, AACL Conference Officer), Mark Dras (Macquarie, AACL Treasurer), and Min Zhang (HIT Shenzhen) as AFNLP representative.<br />
<br />
'''Venue and Dates''': AACL-IJCNLP 2026 will be held at Hengqin Tianmu Qintai Convention Center in Hengqin, Zhuhai, China, on November 6–10, 2026. The conference is organized by the University of Macau, in alignment with NLPCC 2026 to facilitate joint attendance. A site visit confirmed the venue capacity to accommodate over 1,000 participants based on IJCNLP-AACL 2025 statistics.<br />
<br />
'''Conference Organization''': The organizing committee has been finalized. Yue Zhang (Westlake University) serves as the General Chair. The Program Chairs are Ayu Purwarianti (Institut Teknologi Bandung), Tong Rong (Singapore Institute of Technology), Jun Suzuki (Tohoku University), and Ruifeng Xu (Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen). Derek F. Wong (University of Macau) serves as Local Chair. Workshop chairs have been recruited and joined the joint workshop selection process led by the ACL Workshop Officer.<br />
<br />
'''ARR Integration and Phase 1 Commitment''': AACL-IJCNLP 2026 uses the ARR May 2026 cycle, which is shared with EMNLP 2026. Following discussion among ACL Exec, ARR EiCs, EMNLP and AACL PCs, a one-time mutual-exclusivity policy was adopted for this cycle: authors must declare AACL or EMNLP as the target venue at submission time. Phase 1 commitment opens to ARR May submissions that explicitly select AACL 2026, with the AACL commitment deadline before the EMNLP notification (September 7, 2026).<br />
<br />
'''Phase 1 Data and Phase 2 Plan''': ARR May 2026 received 17,083 valid submissions with venue preference distribution: EMNLP 16,683 (97.7%), AACL 308 (1.8%), other ACL venues less than 1% combined. Given the limited Phase 1 volume, AACL plans to open a Phase 2 commitment after the EMNLP notification, accepting prior-cycle ARR submissions and EMNLP-rejected papers, in line with the original two-round strategy. The Phase 2 window will be coordinated with NAACL 2027 and COLING 2027 (both confirmed for the October 2026 ARR cycle) to avoid further reviewer overload.<br />
<br />
'''Tutorials''': The joint call for AACL and EMNLP tutorials has been completed, with 59 submissions received. The review process is underway via OpenReview and is scheduled to conclude on June 30. AACL-IJCNLP 2026 plans to accept 8 tutorials.<br />
<br />
'''Workshops''': AACL-IJCNLP 2026 has accepted 13 workshops, covering topics including multimodal and multilingual NLP, gender bias, LLM alignment, mental health, crisis response, audio safety, scholarly documents, RAG, agents, NL2SQL, and knowledge graphs. The workshops will be held on November 9–10, 2026. The workshop timeline is as follows: first call for papers on June 18; second call on July 8; third call on August 8; paper submission deadline on September 14; notification of acceptance on October 1; camera-ready papers due on October 12; and workshop proceedings deadline on October 15.<br />
<br />
== AFNLP and IJCNLP 2027 ==<br />
'''Coordination with AFNLP''': Following the ACL Q3 2025 resolution authorizing AACL to negotiate independently with AFNLP, formal communication with AFNLP President Sadao Kurohashi was completed during Q2 2026. AACL and AFNLP confirmed continued collaboration through the IJCNLP-AACL series, with AACL-IJCNLP 2028 and IJCNLP-AACL 2029 envisaged as the next two joint editions.<br />
<br />
'''IJCNLP 2027''': Given that ACL 2027 is scheduled for Japan, AACL has expressed full support for ACL 2027 as the primary regional event and endorsed AFNLP's plan to organize an independent IJCNLP 2027, with Min Zhang serving as CCC Chair. AACL will coordinate scheduling and logistics with AFNLP as needed.<br />
<br />
== Community Engagement and Cross-Conference Contributions ==<br />
'''ACL Chinese-Language Outreach''': In coordination with ACL Publicity Director Sarvnaz Karimi, AACL helped establish an officially verified ACL account on Xiaohongshu (RedNote). The account, operated by a recommended student volunteer under ACL publicity guidelines, is intended to provide timely conference information and reduce miscommunication on Chinese social platforms. The verification was completed in Q2 2026 with support from the ACL Office, the Treasurer, and the President.</div>Xuanjinghttps://www.aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=2026Q3_Reports:_AACL&diff=769942026Q3 Reports: AACL2026-06-25T03:12:24Z<p>Xuanjing: /* AACL-IJCNLP 2026 */</p>

'''Background''': The 14th IJCNLP & 4th AACL was held in Mumbai, India, from December 20th to December 24th, 2025. The joint IJCNLP and AACL conferences follow an alternating leadership structure within the Asia-Pacific region: the Asian Federation of Natural Language Processing (AFNLP) leads the organization in odd-numbered years, while AACL takes the lead in even-numbered years. In years when the annual ACL meeting is held in the region, the event is organized solely by ACL. For 2025, the conference was primarily organized by AFNLP. <br />
<br />
'''Hybrid Conference''': The event adopted a hybrid format, providing participants the flexibility to attend in person or engage remotely from around the globe. Final statistics indicate a total of 638 attendees for IJCNLP-AACL 2025, comprising 327 on-site participants and 311 virtual attendees.<br />
<br />
'''Submission and Acceptance''': IJCNLP-AACL 2025 utilized the ACL Rolling Review (ARR) as its submission platform. This year, the conference received a record-breaking 1,456 submissions—2.6 times the previous AACL high. Following the ARR review cycle, 450 papers (354 long and 96 short) were committed to the conference for consideration. After a rigorous evaluation, 232 papers (193 long and 39 short) were accepted to the main conference, representing an acceptance rate of 19%. An additional 146 papers (113 long and 33 short) were accepted to Findings, an acceptance rate of 12%. The overall acceptance rate, including both categories, stands at 31%.<br />
<br />
<br />
== AACL-IJCNLP 2026 ==<br />
'''Conference Coordination Committee''': The joint AACL-IJCNLP conference is primarily organized by AACL in 2026. The AACL-IJCNLP 2026 CCC is chaired by Xuanjing Huang (Fudan, AACL Chair). The committee members include Maggie Li (PolyU, AACL Chair-elect), Thepchai Supnithi (NECTEC, AACL Secretary), Lun-Wei Ku (Academia Sinica, AACL Member-at-Large and Conference Officer), Mark Dras (Macquarie, AACL Treasurer), and Min Zhang (HIT Shenzhen, AFNLP Representative).<br />
<br />
'''Venue and Dates''': In September 2025, preliminary proposals for AACL-IJCNLP 2026 were received from three prospective locations: Macau (China), Chiang Mai (Thailand), and Nara (Japan). While all three applications were outstanding and demonstrated strong potential for future AACL/IJCNLP events, the committee recommends Macau as the host city based on its venue capacity and proven track record with ACL-affiliated conferences. AACL-IJCNLP 2026 is scheduled for November 6–9, 2026. The conference will be organized by the University of Macau and held at the Chimelong Hengqin Bay International Convention Center in Hengqin, Zhuhai, China.<br />
<br />
'''Conference Organization''': The organizational leadership has been finalized. Yue Zhang (Westlake University) will serve as the General Chair (GC). The Program Chairs (PCs) will be Ayu Purwarianti (Institut Teknologi Bandung), Tong Rong (Singapore Institute of Technology), Jun Suzuki (Tohoku University), and Ruifeng Xu (Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen).</div>Xuanjinghttps://www.aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=2025Q3_Reports:_AACL&diff=766562025Q3 Reports: AACL2025-07-24T01:32:20Z<p>Xuanjing: /* Call for Bids - AACL/IJCNLP 2026 */</p>
