    LANTERN 2021 Proceedings of the Third Workshop on Beyond Vision and LANguage: inTEgrating Real-world kNowledge (LANTERN) April 20, 2021 Kyiv, Ukraine (Online) ©2021 The Association for Computational Linguistics Order copies of this and other ACL proceedings from: Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) 209 N. Eighth Street Stroudsburg, PA 18360 USA Tel: +1-570-476-8006 Fax: +1-570-476-0860 [email protected] ISBN 978-1-954085-15-2 ii Introduction Welcome to LANTERN 2021, the Third Workshop Beyond Vision and Language: Integrating Real- World Knowledge, co-located with EACL 2021. Building on the successes of the first edition co-located with EMNLP-IJCNLP 2019 and the second edition co-located with COLING 2020, the third edition of LANTERN aims to again bring together and interconnect researchers focusing on natural language research from a multimodal perspective. In particular, the main goal of the workshop is to promote and foster research which uses machine- and deep-learning techniques to interconnect language with vision and other modalities by leveraging external knowledge. We encourage contributions which exploit very diverse sources of external knowledge like knowledge graphs, fixed and dynamic environments, cognitive and neuroscience data, etc. This results in the workshop being open to all research directions which acknowledge the importance of knowledge in acquiring, using, and evaluating language in real-world settings. In this third edition, we called for both long and short papers. All the accepted contributions are published in these Proceedings. LANTERN 2021 received 11 submissions, all of which were double-blindly reviewed by three highly-qualified reviewers. In total, 5 papers (4 long, 1 short) were accepted to appear in the Proceedings of the workshop, with an acceptance rate of around 55% (comparable to that of the first and second edition, which was around 53% and 57%, respectively).
