We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the Queer in AI Workshop,
which will be held as an official workshop at NAACL 2025 in New Mexico, USA
(April 29-May 4, 2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the years, Queer in AI has grown so much that it has spawned its own
research subfield. This called for us to convert our workshop into an
official workshop at NAACL 2025, which means your work can now be published
in the ACL Anthology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The workshop will be held in a hybrid format, allowing both in-person and
virtual participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
The workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working at
the intersection of linguistics, queerness, and natural language processing.
We provide a safe and inclusive space for presenting work, networking, and
discussing critical issues in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TRACKS AND SUBMISSIONS
We welcome submissions in three tracks:
Queer linguistics – Exploring language around gender and sexuality, including
applications of queer theory to language research.
Queerness and NLP – Examining the intersection of NLP and queerness, from
analyzing queer language patterns to investigating potential biases in NLP
systems.
Queer activism and D&I – Addressing inclusivity challenges in NLP events and
sharing strategies for queer advocacy in tech and academia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUBMISSION OPTIONS:
We provide two submission options: archival (if you want your papers
published) and non-archival (if you just want to share or present your work).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Archival track: Papers should be 4 pages (short) or 8 pages (long) in ACL
format, with unlimited pages for references. All papers must use the official
ACL style templates. Accepted papers will be published in the ACL Anthology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Non-archival track: In this track, you can submit creative work in the form
of art, poetry, music, microblogs, TikToks, or videos; or you can submit your
work-in-progress papers or abstracts. For this submit a PDF containing a
summary\/abstract of your work and a link to the actual content. Submissions
in any language are welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
