The Sixth Widening Natural Language Processing Workshop (WiNLP) will be held in conjunction with EMNLP 2022 in Abu Dhabi, UAE: http://www.winlp.org/winlp22-call-for-papers/.
Since EMNLP is anticipating a hybrid format for their conference, we also anticipate our workshop will be hybrid, with both online and in-person attendees. The one-day workshop will occur during EMNLP’s workshop period either December 7th or 8th, 2022.
We invite authors from underrepresented groups in Natural Language Processing (NLP) to submit a two-page abstract to be considered for a poster presentation at our workshop. Submissions will be accepted through two reviewing cycles:
- Our early visa-friendly deadline will be June 23, 2022 (anywhere on Earth/UTC-12). Decisions will be sent out by July 25, 2022. This deadline exists primarily for attendees interested in traveling in person who may need additional time to process their visa.
- Our regular deadline will be September 7, 2022 (anywhere on Earth/UTC-12). Decisions will be sent out by October 9, 2022. Note that this is only two months before the event, and WiNLP does not have our own legal services to help with expediting visas. Individuals not eligible for visas on arrival or visa-free travel to the UAE should plan to submit to the early deadline.
While everyone is encouraged to attend, the opportunity to present a talk or poster is intended for members of underrepresented groups at all career levels: students, post-docs, professors, and other researchers. For review, submissions must be anonymized and follow the ARR format linked from our website. Each submission should be a two-page extended abstract PDF, with any number of additional pages allowed for references. No appendices will be accepted.
