=================================================================
The NAACL 2021 Workshop on Multimodal Artificial Intelligence (MAI-Workshop) offers a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary researchers to study and model interactions between (but not limited to) modalities of language, vision, and acoustic. Advances in multimodal learning allows the field of NLP to take the leap towards better generalization to real-world (as opposed to limitation to textual applications), and better downstream performance in Conversational AI, Virtual Reality, Robotics, HCI, Healthcare, and Education.
We invite researchers from NLP, Computer Vision, Speech Processing, Robotics, HCI, and Affective Computing to submit their papers.
Neural Modeling of Multimodal Language
Multimodal Dialogue Modeling and Generation
Multimodal Sentiment Analysis and Emotion Recognition
Language, Vision, and Speech
Multimodal Artificial Social Intelligence Modeling
Multimodal Commonsense Reasoning
Multimodal RL and Control
Multimodal Healthcare
Multimodal Educational Systems
Multimodal Affective Computing
Multimodal Robot/Computer Interaction
Multimodal and Multimedia Resources
Creative Applications of Multimodal Learning in E-commerce, Art, and other Impactful Areas.

There are two tracks for submission: archival and non-archival submissions. Archival track will be published in NAACL workshop proceedings and non-archival track will be only presented during the workshop (but not published in proceedings). Full and short workshop papers 6-8 and 4 pages respectively with infinite references.
Submission must be formatted according to NAACL 2021 style files: https://2021.naacl.org/
