## Call for papers

Overview The 24th Annual Workshop of the Australasian Language Technology Association (ALTA 2026) will be held in person at Deakin University Downtown Campus, Melbourne, from 30 November to 2 December 2026. ALTA is the key local forum for presenting and discussing research results in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computational Linguistics (CL). The workshop will feature presentations, posters, and demonstrations from students, industry, and academic researchers. As in previous years, we strongly encourage submissions and participation from industry and government researchers. Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings, published online in the ACL Anthology and on the ALTA website. Papers will be presented either as oral or poster presentations at the workshop. ALTA is ranked CORE 2026: Australasian C. See the CORE Conference Rankings Portal for details.
