  • Language and vision for learning games
  • Learning of quantities from vision
  • Multi-task learning for integration of language and vision
  • Reasoning with language to improve visual perception
  • Text-to-Image (natural, sketch, synthetic) generation with external knowledge
  • Theoretical understanding of limitations in the integration of vision and language
  • Visual dialog, captioning and Q&A by incorporating common-sense/real-world knowledge
  • Other novel tasks which combine language and vision with means of external knowledge


Submission Instructions

We solicit two categories of papers: long and short workshop papers that will be included in the workshop proceedings as archival publications. All submissions should be in PDF format and made through the Softconf link (https://www.softconf.com/eacl2021/LANTERN2021/)

Submissions will go through a double-blind review process, where each submission is reviewed by at-least two program committee members. Accepted papers will be presented by the authors in a regular workshop session either as a talk or a poster. All submissions must be written in English and follow the EACL 2021 formatting requirements using either Word or LaTeX template files provided by EACL 2021 (https://2021.eacl.org/calls/papers/).

Long paper submission: up to 8 pages of content (+1 on acceptance), plus bibliography
Short paper submission: up to 4 pages of content(+1 on acceptance), plus bibliography

For the camera-ready submission, the appendices go in the same pdf as the rest of the paper (one pdf per paper) and after the references.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the organizers.
