EACL 2026 - Industry Track -- Call for Papers
We invite submissions describing innovations and implementations in all
areas of speech and natural language processing technologies and systems
that are relevant to real-word applications. The primary focus of this
track is on papers that advance the understanding of, and demonstrate
the effective handling of, practical issues related to the deployment of
language (or speech) processing technologies in real-world use
applications, i.e., outside controlled environments such as
laboratories, classrooms or experimental crowd-sourced setups. We
encourage submissions from both non-profit and for-profit sectors, with
the understanding that the end-users of these systems extend beyond the
NLP community. Please note that if submissions involve proprietary data,
there is no requirement to make this data available.
The EACL 2026 Industry Track provides the opportunity to highlight key
insights and new research challenges that arise from the development and
deployment of real-world applications using language technologies.
Relevant areas include system design, efficiency, maintainability, and
scalability of real-world applications, with topics including (but not
limited to):
* Benchmarks and methods for improving latency and efficiency of
systems
* Continuous maintenance and improvement of deployed systems
* Efficient methods for training and inference
* Enabling infrastructure for large-scale deployment
* Human-in-the-loop approaches to application development
* Implementation at speed, scale, or low-cost
* System combination
Novel applications and use cases, including but not limited to:
* Best practices, lessons learned, or vision pieces on deploying
real-world applications
* Case studies, from design to deployment
* Description of an application or system
* Design of application-relevant datasets
* Development of methods under system constraints (model or data size)
* Novel NLP applications
Methods for deployed systems (alphabetical; including but not limited
to):
* Ethics, bias, fairness, and harmlessness
* Interpretability
* Interactive systems
* Offline/online system evaluation methodologies
* Online learning
* Robustness
Important Dates (23:59 AoE)
* Paper submission deadline: 17 November 2025
* Notification of acceptance: 5 January 2026
* Camera-ready due: 19 January 2026
* Main conference (including Industry Track): 24-29 March 2026
Following the ACL and ARR policies, there is no anonymity period
requirement. Papers can be posted on arXiv or other online repositories
at any time.
