[CogSci] Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics – Third Call for Papers and Deadline Extension

[Cassandra Jacobs]

*The Workshop on Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics, June 10
2021*Co-located with NAACL 2021

*Workshop Description*
Cognitive Modeling and Computational Linguistics (CMCL) 2021 is a one-day
workshop held in conjunction with the conference of the North American
Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL). 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, NAACL 2019 and EMNLP 2020.

*Scope and Topics*
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

   - 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
   - Cognitively-motivated models of discourse and dialogue
   - 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/naacl2021/cmcl2021/. 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 NAACL 2021 templates, available at:
https://2021.naacl.org/calls/style-and-formatting/.

*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. If a workshop paper has been submitted elsewhere, the authors
have to declare it at submission time. Papers to be presented at CMCL 2021
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 at the workshop, 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 at the workshop, but will not
be included in the proceedings. Interested authors are asked to add a note
on the original venue in the submission.

*Important Dates*
Submission deadline: *NOW March 22, 2021*
Notification of acceptance: April 12, 2021
Camera-ready version due: April 26, 2021
Workshop date: June 10, 2021
All deadlines are 11:59 PM (UTC-12:00)
