**Second Call for Papers**
Gaze4NLP - The First International Workshop on Gaze Data and Natural
Language Processing
September 11-13, 2025, Varna, Bulgaria (co-located with RANLP 2025)
The First Workshop on Gaze Data and Natural Language Processing
(Gaze4NLP), co-located with RANLP 2025 in Varna, Bulgaria, invites
papers of a theoretical or experimental nature describing research
methodologies by employing interdisciplinary perspectives, including
computer science and engineering perspectives and cognitive
sciences, and identifying challenges to resolve in the intersection
of the two domains: eye tracking and NLP. Gaze4NLP aims to bring
together researchers conducting research on eyes on eyes on text and
NLP; and establishing bridges between them for identifying future
venues of research.

Important Dates (updated deadlines)
Workshop paper submission deadline: 1 August 2025
Workshop paper acceptance notification: 14 August 2025

All deadlines are 11:59PM UTC-12:00 (“anywhere on Earth”)
Topics for the workshop will include, but are not limited to:
- Investigating the pillars for bridging the gap between the
research on eyes on text and NLP. Study how to expand research
methodologies by employing interdisciplinary perspectives, including
computer science and engineering perspectives and cognitive
sciences, and identify challenges, issues to resolve.
- Exploring new areas so that both fields benefit from each other
better than the past, identifying novel domains of exploration for
further research.
- Discussing how to develop cognitively inspired models that align
human reading data with LLMs.
Submissions
We solicit regular workshop papers, which will be included in the
proceedings as archival publications. All categories of papers may
be long (maximum 8 pages of content + up to one page for limitations
(required) + unlimited references) or short (maximum 4 pages of
content + up to one page for limitations (required) + unlimited
references). Accepted papers will be presented in the form of either
oral or poster presentations.
Please note that camera-ready papers are allowed an additional page.
The workshop proceedings will be part of the ACL anthology.
Accepted papers will also be given an opportunity with an extended
version to be published as part of an edited book.
