Types of submissions

TALN welcomes two types of communications:
- Papers presenting original research work,
- Position statements presenting a point of view on the state of NLP research
Submissions in English are acceptable if one of the authors is not a French speaker. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
Submissions must present original, unpublished research. Literal translations of previously published papers are not admitted. However, translations enriched with new content can be submitted, provided that this fact is explicitly stated, and that the original sources are pointed at, under the preservation of anonymity.
Authors will be authorized to extend the final version of their accepted paper in order to integrate the remarks of the reviewers : 14 pages plus up to 2 pages for references for long papers, and 7 pages plus up to 2 pages of references for short papers.
Selection criteria
Each submission will be reviewed by at least three specialists of the domain. The following criteria apply:
- appropriateness to the conference topics,
- substance and originality of the contribution,
- correctness of the technical and scientific content,
- critical discussion of the results, in particular with respect to the state of the art,
- position of the work in the context of international research,
- organization and clarity of presentation.
For position statements, the following qualities are emphasized:
- scope of the presentation and consideration of the state of the art
- originality and impact of the presented point of view.
A committee composed of members of the TAL Journal Editorial Board and of the TALN Program Committee will select, among the accepted papers, one paper (TALN Award) which will be recommended for publication (as an extended paper) in the journal Traitement Automatique des Langues (TAL).
Submission procedure
Submitted papers must conform to the official guidelines and style as described in the style file(Download Style File) and must be in the PDF format.

Since the review process is double-blind, the submitted papers must not include the authors’ names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references and project names that reveal the author’s identity, e.g., « We previously showed (Smith, 1991) … », must be avoided. The authors should use instead citations such as « Smith (1991) previously showed … ». Acknowledgements should not be included in the first submission, and can be added instead to the final version of a paper after acceptance.
