Long-running ACL workshop (VarDial) on computational processing of closely related languages, language varieties and dialects, with yearly shared tasks. It invites original contributions on dialect identification, closely related languages, language varieties, machine translation between related languages, dialectal Arabic, cross-lingual transfer, low-resource NLP. Submissions may take the form of full research papers, extended abstracts and poster presentations reporting theoretical, computational and experimental work, as well as industrial case studies and applications. The meeting brings together researchers, engineers, industry practitioners and students to exchange recent results and discuss emerging directions in the field. Accepted papers are published in the conference proceedings (Association for Computational Linguistics).
