ACL 2026 Student Research Workshop (ARR Commitment)
The ACL 2026 Student Research Workshop (SRW) is a forum for students at all educational levels — including high school, undergraduate, MSc/MA, and PhD — to present research in Computational Linguistics, Natural Language Processing, and Machine Learning. It offers mentorship, feedback from the international research community, and opportunities to publish archival or non-archival papers, with the goal of helping students develop their research and presentation skills.

- Authors must provide proof of student status at camera-ready stage.
- Double submissions to other venues are allowed only if withdrawn upon SRW acceptance.
- Authors may submit only one paper per ACL 2026 track (Research, Industry, SRW, or Demos); cross-track submissions will be rejected.
- No changes to author order or composition are permitted after the abstract submission deadline.
