TALN 2021 | RECITAL 2021 Conference
https://talnrecital2021.inria.fr/
June 28th – July 2nd, 2021
Lille, France
The Lille research laboratories working in automatic processing of written and signed languages (Inria Nord-Lille Europe, CRIStAL, STL and GERIICO) are organizing
from June 28th to July 2nd, 2021
on the campus Cité scientifique of the Université de Lille,
the 28th edition of the TALN-RECITAL conference. (https://talnrecital2021.inria.fr/)
RECITAL is exclusively intended for students (Msc/PhD) and young researchers who graduated for less than a year. Advisors should not be included in the authors but can be mentioned in the Acknowledgements or in a footnote. Submitting the same paper to RECITAL and TALN is not allowed. French translations of papers previously submitted or accepted at international workshops or conferences are not eligible for RECITAL and should be submitted to TALN.
The goal of RECITAL is to support young NLP researchers’ works and facilitate their integration in the community by offering them visibility. This call gives them the opportunity to present their ideas and works in progress. They will receive feedback from the scientific community during the reviewing process as well as, for accepted papers, during their presentation at the conference.

Submission of preliminary works, PhD proposals, and early work resulting from the first months of research (state of the art and positioning, objectives and first tracks, etc.) are welcome.
Submissions should be written in French. Submissions in English are accepted if one of the authors is not a native French speaker. Papers will be double-blind reviewed by at least two specialists. The criteria will be in particular:
- Scientific and technical soundness,
- Positioning of the works in the international research context,
- Organization and clarity of the presentation,
- Relevance regarding the conference topics.
According to the program committee decision, the communications will be performed orally or as posters. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
