Call for Papers – Peer-Reviewed International Workshop
The AIWolfDial 2026 workshop invites submissions of peer-reviewed papers as workshop papers. Topics of the call are not limited to AIWolf; they also include LLM-based dialogue generation and automated game playing in general.
The contest is conducted in two rounds, Round 1 and Round 2. For both, evaluation results are announced before the paper submission deadline, so you can write your paper based on those results. How each round’s results can be used is as follows:
- Round 1 results can be used as material for a paper submitted to the INLG 2026 main conference. For details, please see INLG’s Call for Papers.
- Round 2 results can be submitted as an AIWolfDial 2026 workshop paper, for which this workshop calls for submissions (this is also a submission opportunity even if your paper is rejected from the INLG main conference). The topics and requirements above apply to this round.
Note that paper submission is not required to participate in the contest, but it is strongly encouraged. The presentation format for the AIWolfDial 2026 workshop is planned to be hybrid, combining in-person and online participation. (The presentation format for the INLG main conference is determined by INLG.)
