MINT @ EMNLP 2026
EMNLP 2026 Workshop on Multimodal Interaction in Face-to-Face Dialogue (MINT)
MINT @ EMNLP 2026 is a new workshop focused on modeling, generating, and understanding multimodal verbal and non-verbal behavior in face-to-face dialogue. It brings together researchers from NLP, computational linguistics, computer vision, HCI, robotics, and cognitive science to advance AI systems that naturally integrate speech, gesture, gaze, facial expression, and body pose in human-like interaction.

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.
- Non-archival submissions do not need to be anonymous.
- Cross-submissions to other venues are allowed, but accepted papers must be withdrawn from other venues to appear in the proceedings.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.
