We are glad to announce that the 26th Nordic Conference on Computational Linguistics (NoDaLiDa 2027) will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, on May 25–28, 2027.

SUBMISSIONS

NoDaLiDa 2027 addresses all aspects of natural language processing, speech recognition and synthesis, and computational linguistics, including work in closely related neighboring disciplines (such as, for example, machine learning, linguistics, digital humanities, or psychology) that is sufficiently formalized or applied to bear relevance to speech and language technologies.

We invite paper submissions of three types:

  • regular papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research, including empirical evaluation results, where appropriate;
  • short papers on smaller, focused contributions, work in progress, negative results, surveys, or opinion pieces; and
  • demonstration papers on software or resource demonstrations, e.g. of systems, interfaces, infrastructures, data collections, or annotations.

We particularly encourage submission of papers on completed or ongoing work, where the first author is a Master’s or PhD student. This should be indicated at submission time.

Papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be included in the NoDaLiDa 2027 proceedings, which are published in the ACL Anthology and the NEALT Proceedings Series at DSpace at Tartu University Library.

IMPORTANT DATES

  • Monday, January 18, 2027: Direct Submission of Papers
  • Monday, February 22, 2027: Commitment of ARR-Reviewed Papers
  • Monday, March 8, 2027: Notification of Acceptance
  • Monday, April 5, 2027: Camera-Ready Manuscripts
  • Wednesday–Thursday, May 26–27, 2027: NoDaLiDa Main Conference

The main conference will be held on-site only, without an online option, in order to facilitate networking.

SUBMISSION FORMATS

All submissions must follow the ACL style files and be submitted through the OpenReview conference management system. Submission links will be published with the second call for papers in October 2026.

The page limits for submissions are: up to eight pages for regular papers and up to four pages for short papers and demo papers. For all three submission types, these page limits do not include additional pages with bibliographic references, as well as optional sections for limitations and ethical considerations. Appendices are allowed, but reviewers will not be required to consult them. Submissions must be anonymous, i.e., not reveal author(s) on the title page or through self-references.

DOUBLE SUBMISSION AND PRE-PUBLICATION

Papers that have been or will be submitted to other venues must indicate this at submission time and must be withdrawn from the other venues if accepted to NoDALiDa 2027. Authors of papers accepted for presentation at NoDALiDa must notify the program chairs by the camera-ready deadline as to whether the paper will be presented. We will not accept for publication or presentation papers that overlap significantly in content or results with papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere.

POLICY ON AI ASSISTANCE

We follow the ACL policy for AI assistance. Submissions that include hallucinated references or appear to be AI generated to a degree that harms trust or readability will be desk rejected.
