Submissions & Format
Three kinds of papers can be submitted:
Long papers are most appropriate for presenting substantial research results and must not exceed eight (8) pages of content, plus unlimited pages of references. The final versions of long papers will be given one additional page of content (up to 9 pages) so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account.
Short papers are more appropriate for presenting an ongoing research effort and must not exceed four (4) pages, plus unlimited pages of references. The final versions of short papers will be given one additional page of content (up to 5 pages) so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account.
Demo papers should be no more than two (2) pages in length, including references, and should describe implemented systems which are of relevance to the NLG community. Authors of demo papers should be willing to present a demo of their system during INLG 2021.
Submissions of long and short papers should be made through ACL Rolling Review. Please refer to the ARR call for papers for style files and guidelines. The last ARR submission date for eligibility for INLG 2022 will be the March 15, 2022 deadline. The last date for “committing” papers + reviews to INLG will be May 7, 2022 11:59:59 AOE. Authors will “commit” papers to INLG 2022 through the INLG 2022 OpenReview site (link to come).
Submissions of demo papers should be made directly through the INLG 2022 OpenReview site (link to come).
All accepted papers will be published in the INLG 2022 proceedings and included in the ACL anthology. A paper accepted for presentation at INLG 2022 must not have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available proceedings. Dual submission to other conferences is permitted, provided that authors clearly indicate this in the submission form. If the paper is accepted at both venues, the authors will need to choose which venue to present at, since they can not present the same paper twice.
