The 2nd International Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Digital Humanities is co-located with AACL 2022 in Taipei, Taiwan. The proceedings will be published in the ACL anthology. The workshop will take place on the 24th of November 2022.

Website: https://rootroo.com/en/nlp4dh-2022/

Submission deadline: August 25, 2022

The focus of the workshop is on applying natural language processing techniques to digital humanities research. The topics can be anything of digital humanities interest with a natural language processing or generation aspect. A list of suitable topics include but are not limited to:

-Text analysis and processing related to humanities using computational methods
-Dataset creation and curation for NLP (e.g. digitization, digitalization, datafication, and data preservation).
-Research on cultural heritage collections such as national archives and libraries using NLP
-NLP for error detection, correction, normalization and denoising data
-Generation and analysis of literary works such as poetry and novels
-Analysis and detection of text genres

We solicit original and unpublished work related to digital humanities and natural language processing. Short papers can be up to 4 pages in length and long papers up to 8 pages. Both submission formats can have an unlimited number of pages for references. All submissions must follow the ACL stylesheet. We don’t accept submissions that consist of an abstract only.

The submissions must be anonymous and they will be peer-reviewed by our program committee. The peer review is double blinded. Papers must be submitted using SoftConf by the workshop deadline. At least one of the authors of an accepted paper must register for the main conference and present the paper.

Accepted papers (short and long) will be published in the workshop proceedings that will appear in the ACL Anthology. Accepted papers will also be given an additional page to address the reviewers’ comments. The length of a camera ready submission can then be 5 pages for a short paper and 9 for a long paper with an unlimited number of pages for references.

The authors of the accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their workshop paper to a special issue in the Journal of Data Mining & Digital Humanities.
