 The Workshop on Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics, November
19 2020

Co-located with EMNLP 2020. Location has changed due to COVID-19.

Location

EMNLP 2020 and all its workshops will now be held entirely online, rather
than in the Dominican Republic as previously announced, to avoid the need
for international travel and risk of further spread of COVID-19. Refer to
EMNLP 2020 website for details: https://2020.emnlp.org.
Invited Speakers

We are pleased to announce that Richard Futrell (University of California
Irvine) and Suzanne Stevenson (University of Toronto) are our invited
speakers for CMCL 2020.
Workshop Description

Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics (CMCL) 2020 is a one-day
workshop held in conjunction with the Annual Conference on Empirical
Methods for Natural Language Processing (EMNLP), Punta Cana (Dominican
Republic), November 16-20 2020. The goal of CMCL is providing a venue for
computational research on cognitive theories of language processing,
representation and acquisition. The 2020 workshop follows in the tradition
of earlier meetings at ACL 2010, ACL 2011, NAACL-HLT 2012, ACL 2013, ACL
2014, NAACL 2015, EACL 2017, LSA 2018 and NAACL 2019.
Scope and Topics

Topics of interest for the workshop include:

   - Stochastic models of factors influencing a speaker’s production or
   comprehension decisions
   - Models of semantic interpretation, including psychologically realistic
   notions of word and phrase meaning and composition
   - Incremental parsers for diverse grammar formalisms and their
   psychological plausibility
   - Models of speaker-specific linguistic adaptation and/or generalization
   - Models of first and second language acquisition and bilingual language
   processing
   - Behavioral tasks for better understanding neural models of linguistic
   representation
   - Models and empirical analysis of the relationship between mechanistic
   psycholinguistic principles and pragmatics or semantics
   - Models of lexical acquisition, including phonology, morphology, and
   semantics
   - Psychologically motivated models of grammar induction
   - Psychologically plausible models of lexical or conceptual
   representations
   - Models of language disorders, such as aphasia, dyslexia, or dysgraphia
   - Behavioral datasets or resources for modeling language processing or
   production in languages other than English
   - Models of language comprehension difficulty
   - Models of language learning and generalization
   - Models of linguistic information propagation and language evolution in
   communities
   - Network Science and Language Processing

Workshop Submissions

We accept three categories of papers: regular workshop papers, extended
abstracts and cross-submissions. Only regular workshop papers will be
included in the proceedings as archival publications. All submissions
should be in PDF format and made through the Softconf website:
https://www.softconf.com/emnlp2020/cmcl2020/. To facilitate double-blind
reviewing, submitted manuscripts should not include any identifying
information about the authors. Submissions with associated preprints (e.g.
arXiv) will be considered. Submissions must be formatted using EMNLP 2020
templates, available at: https://2020.emnlp.org/call-for-papers.

Regular Workshop Papers can be either full (8 pages of content +
references) or short papers (4 pages + references) reporting original and
unpublished research that combines cognitive modeling and computational
linguistics. Accepted papers are expected to be presented at the workshop
(oral presentation or poster) and will be published in the workshop
proceedings. If a workshop paper has been submitted elsewhere, the authors
have to declare it at submission time. Papers to be presented at CMCL 2020
must be withdrawn from other venues.

Extended Abstracts (from 2 to 4 pages + references) describe preliminary
work or results that have not been published before. Accepted abstracts
will be presented as posters, but will not be included in the workshop
proceedings.

We will also accept cross-submissions (from 2 to 4 pages + references) for
papers on related topics that have already appeared in a non-NLP venue
(e.g. CogSci). These papers will be presented as posters, but will not be
included in the proceedings. Interested authors are asked to add a note on
the original venue in the submission.
Dual Submission Policy (only for Regular Workshop Papers)

If a workshop paper has been submitted elsewhere, the authors have to
declare it a submission time. Papers to be presented at CMCL 2020 must be
withdrawn from other venues.

   - Notification of acceptance: August 17, 2020
   - Camera-ready version due: August 31, 2020
