In our workshop, we aim to connect social needs and the power of NLP. Our missions are
We encourage research work on NLP for Social Good (NLP4SG): Papers can submit to our workshop according to this call for papers. As a reference, we provide a list of NLP4SG papers in this list.
We foster conversations between researchers and people working on the frontiers of social good: In every workshop, we host keynotes, panels, and birds-of-a-feather discussions. See our ACL 2021 Workshop, EMNLP 2022 Workshop, EMNLP 2024 Workshop and slack.
