Call for Papers

Workshop topic and content

Practical D2T 2024 will be a full-day in-person-only event. We welcome contributions from both original unpublished work and non-archival submissions, in the form of long (8 pages) or short (4 pages) papers, on topics including but not limited to:

  • Design, implementation and evaluation of LLM-assisted D2T systems
  • Cross-domain adaption of LLMs for D2T
  • User perceptions and acceptance of LLM-generated text in D2T
  • Bias, fairness and red-teaming issues in LLM-assisted D2T systems
  • Leveraging LLMs for D2T in low-resource languages and domains
  • Error analysis and debugging techniques for LLM-assisted D2T
  • Human-in-the-loop approaches for improving LLM-assisted D2T
  • Comparison between LLM-assisted D2T and traditional symbolic approaches

Special Track: Neuro-Symbolic D2T

Research is currently seeing a renewed interest in developing systems combining neural and symbolic approaches to improve explainability and reduce dependence on training data. Practical D2T 2024 will feature a special track on neuro-symbolic approaches to D2T. Submissions for papers in the special track follow the same requirements and procedure as the main workshop submissions.

Important dates

Note: All deadlines are 23:59 UTC-12.

  • First call for paper: 20 June
  • Regular paper submission: 22 July 26 July
  • Notification of acceptance: 19 August
  • Camera-ready: 28 August
  • Workshop: 23 September @INLG 2024, Tokyo, Japan

Submission

We welcome two types of papers: regular workshop papers and non-archival submissions. Regular workshop papers will be included in the workshop proceedings. The page counts exclude references and appendices. All submissions will be given one extra page of space to address reviewers’ comments.

  • Long papers: up to eight (8) pages describing substantial, completed work, with concrete evaluation wherever appropriate.
  • Short papers: up to four (4) pages of content. Short papers may describe preliminary contributions, negative results, opinion pieces, or a small set of interesting results.

Submission procedure and templates

For the main and special track, please submit short and long papers directly through the INLG submission portal, selecting “Click HERE to make a new Practical Data-to-Text submission”. Choose the appropriate submission type (Long/Short Paper), track (Main/Neuro-Symbolic D2T) and Proceedings Type (Archival/Non-Archival).

All submissions must follow the submission template and guidelines issued by INLG 2024.

Multiple submission policy

We allow multiple submissions for non-archival work.

Optional Supplementary Materials: Appendices, Software and Data

Additionally, supplementary materials can be added in an appendix. Should you make any software or data available within the paper, these need to be fully anonymised.
