The 64th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics

The 64th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL 2026) is the flagship conference of the world's largest professional organization for computational linguistics and natural language processing. ACL is widely considered the most prestigious venue in the field, attracting thousands of researchers from across the globe each year.

Topics span the full breadth of NLP and computational linguistics: large language models, machine translation, question answering, information extraction, discourse analysis, multilingual NLP, low-resource languages, human-computer dialogue, and responsible AI for language. ACL is essential for everyone working at the intersection of language and computation, from theoretical linguists using computational methods to engineers building production NLP systems. Its associated workshops and the co-located EMNLP and NAACL meetings make it the centerpiece of the annual NLP research calendar.
