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, bringing together researchers from 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, rather than peripheral context.

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 to be presented at the workshop without being published in the 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- Cross-submissions to other venues are allowed, but accepted papers must be withdrawn from other venues to appear in the proceedings.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 if outside the workshop scope or violating scientific integrity (e.g., fabricated references).
- Archival direct submissions receive three reviews; non-archival submissions are evaluated for relevance and potential to stimulate discussion.
