<h2 id="gmail-location">Location</h2>
<p>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: <a href="https://2020.emnlp.org">https://2020.emnlp.org</a>.</p>
<h2 id="gmail-invited-speakers">Invited Speakers</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<h2 id="gmail-workshop-description">Workshop Description</h2>
<p>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.</p>
<h2 id="gmail-scope-and-topics">Scope and Topics</h2>
<p>Topics of interest for the workshop include:</p>
<ul><li>Stochastic models of factors influencing a speaker’s production or comprehension decisions</li><li>Models of semantic interpretation, including psychologically realistic notions of word and phrase meaning and composition</li><li>Incremental parsers for diverse grammar formalisms and their psychological plausibility</li><li>Models of speaker-specific linguistic adaptation and/or generalization</li><li>Models of first and second language acquisition and bilingual language processing</li><li>Behavioral tasks for better understanding neural models of linguistic representation</li><li>Models and empirical analysis of the relationship between mechanistic psycholinguistic principles and pragmatics or semantics</li><li>Models of lexical acquisition, including phonology, morphology, and semantics</li><li>Psychologically motivated models of grammar induction</li><li>Psychologically plausible models of lexical or conceptual representations</li><li>Models of language disorders, such as aphasia, dyslexia, or dysgraphia</li><li>Behavioral datasets or resources for modeling language processing or production in languages other than English</li><li>Models of language comprehension difficulty</li><li>Models of language learning and generalization</li><li>Models of linguistic information propagation and language evolution in communities</li><li>Network Science and Language Processing</li></ul>
<h2 id="gmail-workshop-submissions">Workshop Submissions</h2>
<p>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: <a href="https://www.softconf.com/emnlp2020/cmcl2020/">https://www.softconf.com/emnlp2020/cmcl2020/</a>.
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: <a href="https://2020.emnlp.org/call-for-papers">https://2020.emnlp.org/call-for-papers</a>.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>If a workshop paper has been submitted elsewhere, the authors have to declare it a submission time.
