CODI CRAC 2026

2nd Joint Workshop on Computational Approaches to Discourse, Context and Document-Level Inferences (7th CODI) and Computational Models of Reference, Anaphora and Coreference (9th CRAC)
Co-located with ACL, San Diego, California, United States
July 3 2026

Second Joint Workshop on Computational Approaches to All Levels of Discourse!

Following the successful first edition of the joint CODI-CRAC workshop at EMNLP 2025 in Suzhou, China, we are pleased to announce that the second edition has been accepted at ACL 2026.

The CODI workshop has provided a platform for a broad range of research at the discourse level, while the CRAC workshop has been a primary venue for exploring computational modeling of reference, anaphora, and coreference. By coming together, CODI-CRAC aim to advance discourse-level research further, fostering discussions on the development of suitable datasets and robust evaluation methods.

The second edition is planned as a one day event which brings together different subcommunities. It will feature invited talks, regular papers, and one CRAC shared task.

CODI-CRAC is an endorsed workshop of the Special Interest Group on Discourse and Dialogue (SIGDIAL).
