ARR Commitment for EMNLP 2026 Workshop on Multimodal Interaction in Face-to-Face Dialogue (MINT)
The MINT Workshop at EMNLP 2026 focuses on modeling, generating, and understanding multimodal verbal and non-verbal behavior in face-to-face dialogue, bridging computational linguistics, NLP, computer vision, cognitive science, HCI, and robotics. It aims to advance AI systems that interact naturally with humans by integrating speech, gesture, facial expression, gaze, and body pose as core components of communication.

Contribution paths
A strong submission should clearly identify its contribution and evaluate it appropriately.
Non-archival papers
Non-anonymous submissions reporting previously published work, preliminary research, or demos; presented at the workshop but not published in proceedings.

Policies worth checking twice
- Archival submissions must be anonymized for double-blind review; remove author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, and identifying information.
- Non-archival submissions do not require anonymization.
- Cross-submissions to other venues are allowed, but accepted papers must be withdrawn from other venues to appear in the proceedings.
- Submissions may be desk-rejected for scope misalignment or violations of scientific integrity (e.g., fabricated references).
- Archival direct submissions receive three reviews; non-archival submissions are evaluated for relevance and potential to stimulate discussion.
