DocInsights 2026
First Workshop on Document Intelligence and Understanding (Shared Task Submission)
DocInsights 2026 is a full-day workshop co-located with EMNLP 2026 in Budapest, Hungary, focused on advancing document intelligence beyond plain text by integrating NLP with Document AI. It emphasizes structure-aware, evidence-grounded, multimodal, and deployable systems for understanding real-world documents in domains like science, healthcare, law, and finance, combining text, layout, tables, figures, and cross-page relationships.

Policies worth checking twice
- Submissions must follow the official ACL style templates and be submitted as PDF files in standard two-column ACL format
- Direct submissions must be anonymized for double-blind review
- Submissions should be self-contained; supplementary material should be included in the appendix and reviewers are not required to assess separate supplementary files
- Archival submissions to DocInsights must not be under review at another conference or workshop during the DocInsights review period and must not substantially overlap with previously published work or work under review elsewhere
- Non-archival submissions may be submitted to other venues in the future, provided they comply with the policies of those venues
- ARR commitments are evaluated using existing ARR reviews and meta-review, together with relevance and fit to DocInsights
