The fifth WiNLP (“Widening NLP”) Workshop will be held in conjunction with
EMNLP 2021.
The WiNLP workshop is open to all to foster an inclusive and welcoming ACL
community environment. It aims to promote diversity and highlight the work
of underrepresented groups in NLP: anyone who self-identifies within an
underrepresented demographic [gender, ethnicity, nationality, etc]. The
2021 iteration of the workshop will, in particular, seek to highlight the
contribution of women, LGBTQ+, and other underrepresented researchers in
NLP and specifically seek contribution from researchers working on
low-resource, less-represented languages in the community. The full-day
event includes invited talks, oral presentations, and poster sessions. The
workshop provides an excellent opportunity for junior members in the
community to showcase their work and connect with senior mentors for
feedback and career advice. It also offers recruitment opportunities with
leading industrial labs. Most importantly, the workshop will provide an
inclusive and accepting space, and work to lower structural barriers to
joining and collaborating with the NLP community at large.
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. We invite
submissions in the form of an extended 2-page abstract on topics in
computational linguistics and natural language processing, including but
not limited to:
Vision, robots, and other grounding applications
Submission guidelines
Submissions must follow the standard one-column format. Each submission
should be a two-page extended abstract PDF, with any number of additional
pages allowed for references (WiNLP/COLING proceedings format). No
appendices will be accepted.
Submissions should follow the same style and format guidelines (LaTeX
https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-and-instructions-for-winlp-2020/wmghdyddktfd
style files, Word
http://www.winlp.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/WiNLP20_Template.docx
template) and be submitted electronically in PDF format via the WiNLP 2021
online submission portal: https://www.softconf.com/emnlp2021/WiNLP/
Editing and Reviewing Procedure
One week prior to the submission deadline, authors will have the option
to peer-review each others’ abstracts in a non-anonymous format, in
groups of two or three authors. Authors taking this option commit to
helping their peers edit and format their submissions, or revise for
clarity, or provide general feedback before the submission is reviewed.
Authors may use the feedback provided during this peer-editing period to
update their submissions in time for the submission deadline. As in
WiNLP 2020, the program committee will still provide reviews, feedback, and
direct writing mentorship for applicants, but the intent of peer-editing is
to share this responsibility with the participants so that it can scale
with the size of the workshop. Whether or not authors take advantage of
this peer-review option in advance of submission, all submissions are
due on the deadline.
Author Workshopping Form: https://forms.office.com/r/zdpby0sTKh
https://t.co/FVLTpox3wt?amp=1
After the submission deadline, abstracts will be reviewed in the
traditional double-blind format. Abstracts will be evaluated on
relevance to the community; the presentation format (talk or poster) will
be decided based on scientific merit and potential interest to a broad
audience.
Multiple-Submission Policy:
As we aim for improved and increased representation of underrepresented
minorities, we will consider anonymized two-page abstracts of papers that
have been submitted to other venues or have already been published
elsewhere since January 1, 2021. However, authors must clearly indicate
this at submission time.
Authors may not submit to both the regular and visa-friendly deadlines.
Travel support
There will be a limited amount of travel grants and/or additional funding
to cover expenses, similar to the previous editions. More information will
be made available closer to the submission deadline and linked from
