Proceedings of ICADL 2021 will be published by Springer as an LNCS volume, which is indexed by Scopus. This year, we have the following three submission categories: full research papers, short research papers, and practice papers. Note that there will be no demo or poster submissions. We encourage potential authors who will submit posters or demos to extend their work to short paper format, which is at most 6 pages.

If there is any interest for organizing workshops, tutorial, and panel sessions with ICADL 2021, we will consider them on request. Please contact conference organizers (icadl2021@easychair.org) with your proposal. The information about the accepted events will put on the conference website and we will encourage attendees to join the events.

At least 3 Program Committee members will review each submission. The review for practice paper submissions will put less emphasis on the novelty and more on real world practices and applications of DL technologies in institutions or companies.

Sufficient time for oral will be given to oral presentation for accepted papers in all submission categories using a presentation platform to be chosen later (e.g., ZOOM). Each accepted paper must be presented online by at least one of the co-authors.
