CLiC-it 2025 - Eleventh Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
24 - 26 September 2025, Cagliari, Italy
https://clic2025.unica.it/ <https://clic2025.unica.it/>
Conference Announcement and First Call for Papers
Over the years, CLiC-it has evolved into an important forum for the
Italian community of researchers in Computational Linguistics (CL) and
Natural Language Processing (NLP). CLiC-it aims to promote and
disseminate high-quality, original research covering different aspects
of automatic language processing, involving both written and spoken
language. Furthermore, it seeks to showcase cutting-edge theoretical
findings, experimental methodologies, technologies, and application
perspectives.
The spirit of the conference is inclusive. Recognizing the multifaceted
nature of language phenomena and the need for interdisciplinary
expertise, CLiC-it aims to bring together researchers from different
fields including Computational Linguistics and Natural Language
Processing, Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Machine Learning, Computer
Science, Knowledge Representation, Information Retrieval, and Digital
Humanities. CLiC-it welcomes contributions focusing on all languages,
with a particular emphasis on Italian.
CLiC-it 2025 will be held in Cagliari, from the 24th to the 26th of
September. CLiC-it is organised by the Italian Association of
Computational Linguistics (AILC -- http://www.ai-lc.it/
<http://www.ai-lc.it/>).

Research Communications
----------------------------------
CLiC-it 2025 adopts a parallel submission policy for outstanding papers
accepted in2024 and 2025by major publication venues, namely the major
international CL conferences (workshops excluded) or international
journals. These contributions can be submitted to CLiC-it 2025 as short
research communications. Research communications will not be published
in the conference proceedings, they serve primarily to promote the
dissemination of high-quality research within the Italian CL community.
Submitted research communications must be in the scope of the CLiC-it
2025 conference.
The authors of papers that meet the above criteria are invited to submit
a written (maximum) one-page abstract of the original paper, including
the paper’s title and authors as well as a pointer to the original
conference or journal where the paper was published.
If needed, research communications will undergo a selection process
overseen by the conference chairs. Since these papers have already been
reviewed, the selection criteria will primarily consider their original
publication venue. Priority will be granted to papers that align most
closely with the conference program, ensuring a balanced representation
across various conference topics. The research communication papers will
be presented at the conference either orally or as a poster according to
the number of submissions received.
Paper Submission
-----------------------
Submitted papers must describe substantial, original, completed, and
unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis
should be included.
CLiC-it 2025 allows for a multiple-submission policy. In case of
acceptance of the paper in other venues, the authors must communicate
this information to the CLiC-it 2025 Chairs as soon as possible.
Papers may consist of at least six (6) and no more than eight (8) pages
of content, and up to three (3) pages of references. Supplementary
material is also allowed, but it should not exceed one (1) page in
length. Authors are reminded that all relevant content should be
included in the main text of the paper. Upon acceptance, final versions
of papers will be given one additional page of content, so that
reviewers’ comments can be taken into account.
Papers will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
- soundness of approach
- relevance to computational linguistics
- novelty and clarity of relation with related work
- quality of presentation
- quality of evaluation (if applicable)
- verifiability and ability to replicate (if applicable)
Papers can be either in English or Italian, with the abstract in
English. Accepted papers will be published online and will be presented
at the conference either orally or as a poster.
Reviewing will NOT be blind, so there is no need to remove author
information from manuscripts.
The required template for CLiC-it submissions must be compatible with
CEUR (https://ceur-ws.org/ <https://ceur-ws.org/>). You can download the
conference-adapted version at the following links:

Should you encounter any issues with the compilation (as the CEUR
template has historically presented some challenges and is not
modifiable without risking exclusion from the proceedings), we provide a
read-only Overleaf template:

This template can be accessed and cloned to help resolve any technical
difficulties.
Papers and research communications must be submitted through the START
platform using the following

For research communications, the appropriate track should be selected.
Awards
---------
To acknowledge the contribution of young researchers to the field, the
title of "best paper" will be awarded to outstanding papers, provided
that a Master's orPhD student is the first author and presents the work
at the conference. Recipients of this award will be invited to submit an
extended version of their papers to the Italian Journal of Computational
Linguistics (IJCoL). To recognise excellence in student research as well
as promote awareness of our field, AILC is also conferring the “Emanuele
Pianta” prize for the best Master Thesis (Laurea Magistrale) in
Computational Linguistics submitted at an Italian University. The prize
consists of 500 Euros plus free membership to AILC for one year and free
registration to the upcoming CLiC-it.
