Call for papers

Submissions

Submission is done through OpenReview. 

Please note: An account on OpenReview is needed to submit a paper. For persons without an institutional email, it can take up to two weeks to have an account verified, thus please create an account early, if you don`t have one already!

NoDaLiDa/Baltic-HLT 2025 addresses all aspects of natural language processing, speech recognition and synthesis, and computational linguistics, including work in closely related neighboring disciplines (such as, for example, machine learning, linguistics, digital humanities, or psychology) that is sufficiently formalized or applied to bear relevance to speech and language technologies.  

We invite paper submissions of three types: 

• regular papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research, including empirical evaluation results, where appropriate;

• short papers on smaller, focused contributions, work in progress, negative results, surveys, or opinion pieces; and 

• demonstration papers on software or resource demonstrations, e.g. of systems, interfaces, infrastructures, data collections, or annotations. Demonstration papers do not need to be anonymous. 

We particularly encourage submission of papers on completed or ongoing work, where the first author is a Master's or PhD student. This should be indicated at submission time.

Papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be included in the NoDaLiDa/Baltic-HLT 2025 proceedings, which are published in the ACL Anthology and the NEALT Proceedings Series at DSpace at Tartu University Library.

Submission formats

All submissions must follow the NoDaLiDa 2025 style files, which will be available for LaTeX (preferred) and MS Word and can be retrieved here. You can also directly open the Overleaf template.

Submissions must be anonymous, i.e. not reveal author(s) on the title page or through self-references. Papers must be submitted digitally, in PDF, and uploaded through the online conference system. Paper submissions that violate either of these requirements will be returned without review.

The page limits for submissions are: up to eight pages for regular papers and up to four pages for short papers and demo papers. For all three submission types, these page limits do not include additional pages with bibliographic references. We do not allow any extra pages for appendices. We do not require sections for limitations or ethical considerations, but if you choose to include these sections, they do not count toward the page limit.

For accepted papers, you will have one additional page for the final paper, to address review comments. This means that we allow 9 pages for long papers and 5 pages for short papers and demos – ethical considerations, limitations, acknowledgments, references, and appendices (which are allowed in accepted papers) do not count against this limit. Note that NoDaLiDa/Baltic-HLT has its own templates, so please make sure that you do not use any other templates, such as ACL.

Submission management

Submissions to the conference must be uploaded electronically, obeying the above requirements, and no later than (end of day, anywhere on earth): Sunday, October 27, 2024.

NoDaLiDa/Baltic-HLT 2025 uses the OpenReview conference management system for the submission, reviewing, and preparation of proceedings. A link to the submission form will be provided.
