ACL 2025 Industry Track: Overview
Abstract
AbstractFor the 63rd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL 2025), it was decided once again to organise a dedicated Industry Track. Similar to the main research track of the conference, the industry track attracted an unprecedented number of 421 paper submissions. In total, 453 reviewers and 21 area chairs participated in the evaluation of these papers. After a thorough, double-blind peer-review evaluation with three reviews for each submission followed by reviewer discussions and additional deliberations, 108 papers were selected for presentation at the ACL 2025 Industry Track. Large language models were front and center of almost all submissions with trustworthiness, domain-adaptation, retrieval-augmented generation, and agentic architectures – across domains such as medical, legal, and finance – being popular topics.
