AdMIRe 2.0

System description papers

Participants will be able to submit a paper describing their systems and results (deadline: Jan 5, 2026 23:59 AoE). System description papers should not exceed 4 content pages + unlimited references. Systems covering 2 subtasks are allowed 1 extra page. These papers must follow the MWE 2026 instructions and use the ACL stylesheet. They should briefly describe the approach implemented to solve the problem. They may include references and links to more detailed descriptions in other documents or appendices. System description papers will go through a lightweight double-blind peer reviewing process, involving shared task organizers and other system authors. Participants who submit system description papers are expected to be available to review other participants' submissions. Paper acceptance depends on the quality of the paper rather than on the results obtained in the shared task. Authors of the accepted papers will be able to present their work as posters/demos in a dedicated session of the MWE 2026 workshop. Therefore, they will need to register through the EACL 2026 registration platform and pay the registration fees. The submission of a system description paper should be made via the MWE 2026 OpenReview page. The submission of a system description paper is not mandatory.

This section describes requirements for papers submitted to and published in MWE 2026 Shared Tasks and it is based on the SemEval instructions.

For your paper to be accepted and published, it must conform to the following guidelines. Contact your task organizers if you have questions about the guidelines.

Style Files

To write your paper, please use LaTeX style files issued by the MWE 2026 Workshop . The files contain details on the required page layout and formatting. Make sure to follow all those instructions—except the parts for which the Shared Tasks have separate requirements, specified below.

Length

Submissions for review

Team participants are encouraged to only submit one paper regardless of number of systems they developed. System paper submissions can be up to 5 pages. Acknowledgments, references, and appendices do NOT count toward page limits.

Camera-ready versions

Once accepted, your final paper may have an additional page so you can address reviewer feedback. Thus: 6 pages for a task system (not counting acknowledgments/references/appendices).

Title

Shared Task paper titles follow a fixed template, where 2026 represents the year and Name represents the task name (e.g. AdMIRe 2):

Team Name at MWE-2026 Task Name: Descriptive Title

• Note "at", not "@".
• Note that "MWE" and the year are separated by a hyphen and no spaces, that is "MWE-2026".
• Note that the task name is followed by a colon, not a dash.
• Note that the colon has a space after it but not before it.
• Authors are free to choose the Descriptive Title as they would a normal paper title; it may mention a particular question addressed, method used, or finding discussed in the paper.

Authors

Shared Task papers are not anonymous when submitted for review. Enter your names and affiliations on the paper.

Contents

System description papers should focus on:

• Replicability: present all details that will allow someone else to replicate your system.
• Analysis: focus more on results and analysis and less on discussing rankings; report results on several runs of the system (even beyond the official submissions); present ablation experiments showing usefulness of different features and techniques; show comparisons with baselines.
• Duplication: cite the task description paper; you can avoid repeating details of the task and data, however, briefly outlining the task and relevant aspects of the data is a good idea. (The official BibTeX citations for papers will not be released until the camera-ready submission period, so during the initial submission, please use some sort of placeholder citation.)

Reminders for final version

• Ensure that author names are properly capitalized in START metadata and appear in the same order/spelling/capitalization as the PDF.
• Ensure that you have mentioned the language(s) of data used in the paper.
• If you are releasing code or data, include the URL in the paper.
• If the research raises ethical considerations (e.g. potential for misuse), these should be discussed in the paper.
• If a system paper, make sure to cite the task description paper.
