What is DocInsights?
DocInsights is the Workshop on Document Intelligence and Understanding, co-located with EMNLP 2026. It focuses on document-centered NLP beyond plain text: structure-aware modeling, multimodal evidence, grounding, retrieval, evaluation, and deployment.
What submission types are accepted?
We welcome long papers, short papers, position and theory papers, benchmark and dataset papers, survey papers, system demos, reproducibility studies, and negative or diagnostic analyses.
Can I submit non-archival work?
Yes. DocInsights accepts direct non-archival submissions. Non-archival work will not appear in proceedings and may be submitted elsewhere later, subject to the policies of those venues.
How do ARR commitments work?
Eligible papers with completed ACL Rolling Review reviews and meta-review may be committed through the DocInsights ARR Commitment OpenReview group. Decisions are based on ARR reviews, meta-review, relevance, and fit to the workshop.
Are submissions double-blind?
Direct submissions must be anonymized for double-blind review. The review process will use OpenReview and at least three reviews plus meta-review.
What are the page limits?
Long papers may include up to 8 pages of content. Short papers may include up to 4 pages of content. References and appendices are unlimited.
What is the shared task?
Shared task details will be announced soon. We will update the shared task page with scope, timeline, participation instructions, and evaluation details once they are ready.
Will the workshop support remote participation?
Participation details will follow EMNLP guidance and organizer confirmation. The site will be updated when room, schedule, and participation modes are final.
When will speakers and the program be announced?
Confirmed speakers, accepted papers, and the final program will be posted after speaker confirmations, review decisions, and EMNLP schedule details are public-ready.
