The WiNLP workshop aims to foster an inclusive and diverse ACL environment by highlighting the work of underrepresented groups (URG) or anyone who self-identifies within an underrepresented demographic. The 2023 iteration of the workshop will build on the successes of prior iterations (2017-2022) with a focus on diversity in scientific background, discipline, training, obtained degrees, and seniority. Additionally, this iteration will target women and nonbinary researchers, the queer community, researchers outside the U.S. and Europe, and neurodiverse researchers in NLP. The full-day event will include a call for abstracts, a combination of invited talks, a panel discussion, oral presentations, and poster sessions. The workshop provides an opportunity for junior members of the community to showcase their work and connect with senior mentors for feedback and career advice. WiNLP also offers recruitment opportunities with leading industrial and academic labs. Most importantly, the workshop provides an accepting space that lowers structural barriers that make it difficult for URGs to join and collaborate with their NLP colleagues. The opportunity to present at the workshop is intended for URGs, and allies are encouraged to attend and support speakers.
