2011Q3 Reports: Linguistics Olympiads 2011

2011-06-16T21:16:59Z

LoriLevin:

This report summarizes activities of the International Linguistics Olympiad (IOL) (http://www.ioling.org) and the English Language Computational Linguistics Olympiad (ELCLO), which is a cooperative arrangement between countries that administer their linguistics Olympiads in English. We report on the ELCLO here because English is the lingua franca of the ACL and because the ELCLO focuses on computational linguistics more than some of the other linguistic Olympiads. Other countries administer their linguistics Olympiads in their national languages, and are not reported on here.

Relevance of linguistics Olympiads to ACL: Linguistics Olympiads identify students with computational as well as linguistic aptitude. The contests consist of puzzles that require analytical skills such as data abstraction and constructing and constraining a search space. For the North American contest (http://www.naclo.cs.cmu.edu), more than half of the winners major in computer science and mathematics in college. They are our future colleagues and ACL members.

The 9th annual IOL will be held at Carnegie Mellon University on July 24-30, 2011. Around 120 high school students from 20 countries will participate. The participating countries are: Armenia, Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Estonia, India, Ireland, Latvia, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, South Korea, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States, and Vietnam.

Details about previous IOLs (contest problems and winners) can be found at http://www.ioling.org/.

The IOL is still accepting donations and sponsorships. Please direct potential donors and sponsors to this page: http://www.ioling.org/fundraising_iol/

English language Olympiads were held in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, and Australia. Details can be found at these web sites:

(Can't find Ozclo web site at the moment.)

Linguistics Olympiads depend on thousands of hours of volunteer time. To find out how get involved with your national linguistics Olympiad or to start one in your country, contact Lori Levin (lsl@cs.cmu.edu) or Dragomir Radev (radev@umich.edu).

English Language Computational Linguistics Olympiads
Report by Dragomir Radev and Lori Levin

Organizers and Web Pages:

* Canada: Patrick Littell: http://www.naclo.cs.cmu.edu

The NACLO initiative (www.naclo.cs.cmu.edu), North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad, has expended in 2009 to include the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, in addition to Australia, which joined in 2008. The main idea is to use a standard pool of problems in all these English-speaking countries. (Note that the French-speaking portion of Canada will start participating in 2010, using problem sets in French).

This is a fun, but serious way to introduce high school students to linguistics, language technologies, and less commonly taught languages through puzzles.

Many other countries hold linguistics Olympiads for high school students in their official languages. Any country may send up to two teams of four high school students to the International Linguistics Olympiad (ILO). The ILO jury will translate the exam in the language of any country and will find jury members to grade them. Countries with experience in linguistics Olympiads are happy to help other countries get started.

NACLO receives funding from NAACL. As far as we know no other linguistics Olympiad receives funding from an ACL-related organization.

In the 2008 ILO, the two US teams won 11 out of 33 prizes. In the US in 2009, over 1000 students from 29 states participated in NACLO. Over 30 universities hosted the contest, and many students participated at their own high schools. More information can be found on the NACLO web site: http://www.naclo.cs.cmu.edu.

In 2009, OzCLO 2009 has now grown to be an almost Australia-wide event, with local organising committees in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, West Australia and the ACT. More than 330 high school students competed in the Sate Round in NSW, VIC, SA, WA, and the ACT held at the University of Sydney, the University of Melbourne, the University of Western Australia and the Australian National University on 4 March. More information on OzCLO 2008 and 2009 can be found at: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~lsl/acl/OzCLO_Report-for-ELCLO-1.doc.

The US, Ireland, and Australia will compete in the International Linguistics Olympiad in Wroclaw, Poland July 26-30, 2009 along with several other European and Asian countries.

Sponsorship Chairs Report (Isahara, Hitoshi and Lua, Kim-Teng)

Sponsorship (Hitoshi Isahara)

Due to the bad global economic situation, we could not recruit enough sponsors this time. Our sponsorships this time are as follows;

Gold Sponsor
CNGL (Centre for Next Generation Localisation)
Silver Sponsor
AT&T Research
Microsoft Research
Fujitsu R&D Center CO., LTD.
Bronze Sponsor
Yahoo! Labs
Supporter
Xerox Research Centre Europe

Local Sponsorship (Lua Kim-Teng)

The local sponsorship chair works with the local organizing committee to have recruited several local sponsors that provide in-kind support to ACL-IJCNLP 2009 as follows:

1) Wholetree Pte Ltd
2) Toshiba China R&D Center
3) Lee Foundation
4) Nanyang Technological University
5) National University of Singapore

The items that are sponsored include

1) Entertainment in welcome reception and banquet
2) Conference souvenirs (Special edition of Singapore stamps)
3) Asian student travel grants
4) Each university sponsor supports 15 paid registrations for staff/students.

ACL 2009 European Sponsorship Report
Posted by Lori Levin on behalf of Josef van Genabith and Philipp

We collected sponsorship lists from a number of past ACLs, COLINGs,
EACLs and NAACLs from previous sponsoship chairs and merged. We sent
out > 170 mails with the ACL prospectus attached to solicit EACL 2009
(in particular) and joint EACL-NAACL-ACL 2009 three-pack (in general)
sponsorship. Priscilla Rasmussen got 1 reponse: a 3-pack gold
sponsorship for EACL-NAACL-ACL 2009 from CNGL (Centre for Next
Generation Localisation). The poor response reflects the economic and
financial turmoil experienced by many companies late 2008 and early
2009. In an effort to raise more sponsorship, Philipp Koehn followed up with
personal phone calls to a selected number of "previously reliable"
sponsors. Unfortunately, this did not result in further sponsorship
for EACL 2009. We made the spreadsheet with the 170 sponsorship
contact details available to the NAACL 2009 sponsorship team and
Priscilla Rasmussen at ACL.

Report from NAACL, June 2009 Owen Rambow, Chapter Board Chair
http://www.naacl.org

1. Elections

The NAACL election was held electronically in the Fall of 2008. Chris Brew (Ohio State University) and Ted Pedersen (University of Minnesota, Duluth) replaced Bill Dolan and Jennifer Chu-Carroll. The board continues to have only eight members (as Graeme Hirst is both past chair and ACL treasurer).

2. Executive Committee Meetings

The Board converses regularly by e-mail. In addition, the Board met in person at the NAACL HLT 2009 conference in Boulder.

3. Shadow Account Status

See attached summary below.

4. North American conferences in 2008 and 2009

The 2008 North American conference was an ACL conference. The cooperation in the coordinating committee went smoothly and to NAACL's satisfaction. A full account of the conference can be found elsewhere.

The 2009 NAACL HLT conference took place in Boulder, Colorado in early June 2009. The conference was the best attended NAACL HLT conference ever. NAACL thanks the General Chair, Mari Ostendorf, and all other chairs for an outstanding organizational effort. Th conference report can be found elsewhere.

5. North American conference in 2010

The 2010 conference will take place in Los Angeles in early June 2010. Ron Kaplan (Microsoft) is General Chair, and David Chiang (ISI) is in charge of the local team. http://naaclhlt2010.isi.edu/

6. North American conference in 2011

The conference is being jointly organized with ACL by a Coordinating Committee under the leadership of Ido Dagan.

7. Shaping future NAACL HLT conferences

The NAACL Board continues to support a closer integration among the various *ACL conferences when it is beneficial (workshops, sponsorship). The NAACL Board continues to explore ways to make our conference more lively and diverse, through an extended use of the short paper track. An additional interest remains the possibility of involving industry more, while retaining our basic academic outlook.

8. Support for Summer Schools and Other Educational Outreach

We have increased our support for NACLO (the North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad) and again supported student participation at the Johns Hopkins summer school. We have established a small fund to support Latin American activities and a small fund to support regional student conferences.

Appendix: NAACL Treasurer Report

NAACL Treasurer's report
May 2009

The Chapter's bank account held $71,530.32 at the end of Apr 2008, little changed from the same time last year ($67,093.88). Income for the year is about $8K as NAACL's 50% share of the surplus from ACL 2005 (in Michigan), and expenses of $3K to support NACLO 2008 and about $1K to support student travel to the JHU workshop. There's more of interest in the things about to happen to the bank account: we've just sent $5K for support of NACLO 2009, JHU might eventually get around to cashing our checks for about $12K in total for support of JHU WS 2007 and 2008, and maybe we'll work out some other spending items at the NAACL Executive Committee meeting. Most excitingly, after lots of staring at spreadsheets, I can report that NAACL HLT 2006 brought in a surplus of $57K (!).

Action items: Assuming, I get the data, I'm hoping to catch up a little and do NAACL HLT 2007 accounting over the summer. (With the change of ACL Treasurer, there has been some discontinuity in my ability to get necessary financial data for accounting, but I hope to clear up those issues while in Boulder.) ACL 2008 accounting is the responsibility of the ACL treasurer. There is no reason why NAACL cannot continue to operate financially just as it has for the last few years. However, there is mounting evidence that NAACL should be more proactive in finding good ways to use money to promote the field. Hence I'm interested in initiatives like student travel support, support for Central and South America, etc. On the other hand, I think we should also reflect a little on trends in corporate sponsorship and opportunities for links with the broader text mining/processing/search community.

NAACL HLT Conference Chair Report

As General Chair, my goal for the 2009 NAACL HLT Conference was to have high
quality technical presentations in all areas, but particularly to increase the number and
quality of papers from the speech and IR areas. In addition, I was encouraged by the
NAACL Board to explore ways to better engage researchers from industry.

The ACL-HLT 2008 conference chair raised the issue of imbalance in the speech/IR/NLP
fields. There were many more submissions in NLP than in the other two areas. She
recommended either changing the structure of committees to reflect the actual balance of
papers or having an “additional coordinated event that involves invitations to members of
the community in order to draw more participation.” For NAACL HLT 2009, we
maintained the area distribution for the area chairs, publicity and tutorials, but not for
other committees. For committees with fewer chairs, we tried to choose people whose
expertise spanned multiple disciplines, which seemed to work well. It would probably be
reasonable to take a similar strategy for the PC chairs next year, i.e. have only 3 PC
chairs with 2 from NLP and one from speech, with one of the three having a tie to IR.
(We had one person serve as lead for long papers (Mike Collins) and one as lead for short
papers (Lucy Vanderwende), and this worked very well.)

In order to try to attract more papers in the speech and IR areas, we included two special
sessions targeting the cross-cutting topics of large scale language processing (IR and
NLP) and speech indexing and retrieval (speech and IR). The area chairs for the speech
indexing session actively recruited paper submissions, which contributed to the session’s
success. The large scale language processing area had several submissions without active
recruiting other than our highlighting it in the call for papers.

In an attempt to better engage industry researchers, we organized a lunchtime panel
discussion on “Emerging Application Areas in Computational Linguistics,” which
included representatives from different application areas and different size companies.
Thanks to Bill Dolan for organizing and moderating the discussion. Box lunches were
available for purchase. The panel discussion was very well attended. One problem was
that the panel started late because of the long line for getting lunches, which involved
participants composing their lunches. Possibilities for improving this include having the
lunches pre-boxed to simplify pickup logistics and moving the lunch pickup outside of
the panel discussion room. In addition to the industry panel, another success with
industry is that the tutorial chairs actively recruited some more practically oriented
panels, which were very well received.

Two web pages were available to provide guidance:

http://www.cs.jhu.edu/~jason/advice/how-to-chair-a-conference

While I should have done a better job in making all chairs aware of the guidelines, our
biggest problem (coordinating schedules with other conferences) is not addressed in these
guidelines. In addition, it would be nice to have guidance on other HLT-specific issues
(e.g. demos). NAACL might want to develop an additional web page covering special
considerations for NAACL HLT.

Several changes were instituted this year, including:
* Multi-conference coordination of sponsorship
* Multi-conference coordination of workshops
* New format for short paper reviewing and explicit call for different types of short
papers
* Including the student research workshop as a parallel session within the main
conference
* Allowing students whose papers were accepted to the student session to also
(optionally) present a poster in the main conference poster session.

All changes seemed to work well with a couple of exceptions. Most importantly, there
was a lack of clarity of responsibility among the different sponsorship chairs and a lack
of connection of the regional sponsorship chairs to the NAACL HLT 2009 meeting. The
general idea of multi-conference coordination makes sense, but it is necessary to clarify
the role of the local chair and to make this person the main point of contact. Second, as
noted in the PC chairs’ report, there were not many papers in the “negative result” and
“opinion piece” categories of short papers. The program committee also felt that it would
be better to have the author indicate the type of short paper, in addition to the reviewers.
The total funds raised through sponsorship efforts was $27,350, which includes one
$4000 contribution that resulted from the multi-conference sponsorship coordination. The
Local Arrangements Chairs were very helpful in this effort in addition to the Local
Sponsorship Chair. Companies contributing included: Rosetta Stone, CNGL, Google,
AT&T, Language Weaver, JD Powers, IBM Research, CLEAR, HLT, LDC, and John
Benjamins. One difficulty that arose was a last minute decision that funds from a sponsor
would go to a student travel award, which caused some minor program glitches. We
recommend that an advance deadline be set for designating donated funds for new
awards.

Based on discussions during and after the conference, additional areas where we think
there could be improvements include:
* Parallel review of short papers: A possible reason for serial review was to allow
papers submitted as long papers and rejected to be resubmitted as short papers.
Very few short papers are accepted this way, and authors can always submit to
other conferences. Parallel review would make scheduling much easier and
would make the reviewing process less complicated for the program committee.
* Demos: We had very few demos this year, but many people like the tradition.
Ideas for addressing this include eingither assign the Demo Chairs the task of
actively recruiting demos, or giving authors of accepted papers the opportunity to
present as a demo.
* Poster session: The evening poster session combined with a reception was well
received by poster viewers, but less so by poster presenters. People who had
posters in the first session didn’t get much food, and people who had their posters
in the later session had a smaller audience. Some ideas for improving this include:
having a better enforced time period for poster presenters to eat, having some
overlap of the two time slots so the second session runs less late, grouping posters
that are on related topics in the same area, and including an introductory session
where poster presenters give a 1-minute pitch on their poster.
* Workshops: One of the workshop chairs should be affiliated with the local
(hosting) institution, since there are a lot of local arrangements issues that arise
with the workshops.

Other suggestions are included in the reports from other chairs.
While there were several areas for improvement, overall, I consider the conference to be
a success. There were roughly 700 participants, and the quality of the tutorials,
presentations and workshops was high. The local arrangements were terrific. I am
indebted to all the chairs involved in the organization and to the NAACL Board for their
support. While there remains an imbalance between NLP, speech and IR, I am
encouraged by the quality of the papers that were included. I strongly support continued
efforts to include these different areas of HLT and make it possible for researchers to
benefit from the insights of these related field.

NAACL 2009 Program Chairs Report

In 2009 the NAACL HLT program continued to include high-quality work in the areas of
computational linguistics, information retrieval, and speech technology. The program included
full papers, short papers, demonstrations, a student research workshop, pre-conference
tutorials, and post-conference workshops. The call for papers included solicitation of papers
for 2 special sessions, “Large-Scale Language Processing” and “Speech Indexing and Retrieval”.
This year, 260 full papers were submitted, of which 75 papers were accepted (giving a 29%
acceptance rate); and 178 short papers were submitted, of which 71 were accepted (giving
a 40% acceptance rate). All full papers were presented as talks; this contrasts with some
previous years, e.g., ACL-08 HLT, where some full papers were presented as posters. Of the
short papers, 35 were presented as talks, with the remainder being presented as posters. A
full breakdown of the statistics by area is presented at the end of this report.

This year, short papers of five types were solicited: “a small, focused contribution”, “work in
progress”, “a negative result”, “an opinion piece”, or “an interesting application note”; it was
a reviewer task to determine which paper type a short paper best belonged to, alternatively,
this could be a check-box at submission time. In practice, the largest agreement among
reviewers was found in the “small, focused contribution” category, the traditional type of short
paper submitted to NAACL HLT (119/178). A majority of reviewers thought that 38/178
papers were “work in progress”, and that 10/180 were “interesting application note”. There
were only a handful of papers submitted that any of the reviewers considered to be a “negative
result” or “opinion piece”. It will take more than one conference cycle to determine the field’s
interest in writing, and then accepting, such paper types.

Reviewing was organised in a two-tier system, with eighteen senior program committee
(SPC) members (“area chairs”), who in turn recruited 352 reviewers. The SPC members
managed the review process for both the full and short paper submissions: each full paper
received at least three reviews, and each short paper received at least two reviews. Similar to
recent years, we did not have a face-to-face meeting of the area chairs, instead we held a series
of tele-conferences between individual area chairs and the PC chairs. The START conference
management system was used to manage paper submissions and the review process—Rich
Gerber and the START team gave invaluable help with the system.

Two best paper awards were given at the conference. The senior program committee members
for the conference nominated an initial set of papers that were candidates for the awards; the
final decisions were then made by a committee chaired by Candace Sidner, and with Hal
Daume III, Roland Kuhn, Ryan McDonald, and Mark Steedman as its other members.

Report from Student Research Workshop/ Doctoral Consortium
The Student Research Workshop provided a venue for student researchers investigating topics
in the broad fields of Computational Linguistics and Language Technologies to present their
work and receive feedback from the community. The workshop was composed of three parallel
tracks in Natural Language Processing, Information Retrieval, and Speech. We received a total
of 29 submissions (4 IR, 4 Speech, 21 NLP) from 11 countries. Submissions were up from last
year, although that was not until after we extended the deadline twice, so we wonder if there
may be too many similar venues competing for submissions, such as the ACL SRW and the
EACL SRW. Considering the uneven distribution of submissions to the three tracks, the topical
organization of the workshop into tracks should also be re-thought.
Of the 29 submission, we accepted 9 as oral presentations (one of which withdrew from the
workshop) and another 9 as poster presentations. Accepted oral presentations and posters
came form 9 different countries. Both oral presentation and poster presentation sessions were
scheduled during the main conference; each paper accepted for oral presentation was also
given a slot in the poster session. We made a special effort to schedule the sessions at times
when many senior people in the field would be able to attend and offer their valuable wisdom
from years. A total of 86 students and senior researchers agreed to serve on the program
committee, which allowed us to assign 4 to 6 reviewers per paper.
During the workshop, each oral presentation was followed by a brief panel discussion by two
panelists per paper. Despite the extra effort of having to recruit panelists, we believe that the
panels added considerable extra value to the workshop. Not only did it ensure good feedback to
the presenters, it also helped the audience put the papers into perspective within the respective
research fields. Each of the three oral presentation sessions drew an audience of 30 to 50
people.
All presenters received financial support from the U.S. National Science Foundation to assist
them in their travel to Boulder for the conference. Altogether we received $21,000 from the
National Science Foundation to fund the workshop, which included support for student
participants, student co-chairs, and the cost of the student lunch. Oral presenters were offered
$400 to defray the cost of registration and hotel as well as $500 to cover travel from within North
America, or $1000 if they were traveling internationally. Poster presenters were offered $300.00
total for reimbursement. We also budgeted a small amount of money for materials, such as
poster boards for the poster presentations.
At the student lunch on the day of the SRW, we had a group discussion to get feedback from
the student community on how the SRW could be improved, and in general what could be done
to offer mentoring to the students in our community. One issue that was raised is that it is not
very clear what sets the SRW apart from the main conference or exactly what types of
submissions are desired. Students felt that some of the feedback they received from reviewers
wasn’t consistent with what the call for participation described as the target submissions. In
response to this, we may need a more structured review form. One participant in the discussion
pointed out that the form used for ACL short papers this year was a particularly good example of
how to keep reviewers thinking along the right lines for review. Another issue that was raised is
that students are not getting encouragement from their advisors to submit to the SRW. So we
may need to go back to the faculty segment of the ACL community to find out why and what we
can do about it.
Students expressed a desire for more networking opportunities at ACL conferences, especially
to help the shyer students come out of their shells. One idea was to organize topic specific
round tables where selected faculty would attend, but which would be mainly students
interested in similar topics. Other ideas included websites to help students find roommates for
conferences and distributing contact information for all people who are registered by a particular
date, along with their affiliations and research interests, to help students plan for who they want
to try to set up meetings with, etc. during the conference.

Brief Reports from Other NAACL HLT Chairs
Publicitiy Chairs
 Matthew Stone (Rutgers)
 Gokhan Tur (SRI)
 Diana Inkpen (U Ottawa)
The Publicity Chairs were chosen from each of the three HLT areas -- IR, speech and
NLP – in order to ensure good connections to the communities. The forwarded all
announcements to mailing lists in their respective fields, including the main conference
Call for Papers and Call for Short Papers, the Calls for Workshop and Tutorial Proposals,
the Call for Demos, and the Doctoral Consortium Call for Papers. The lists and websites
used included: corpora, elsenet, acl, asis-l, linguist, webir, ISCA ISCAPad, IEEE
eNewsletter, AI Magazine, and the cognitive science society website.
Future organizers should bear in mind that many organizations produce bimonthly or
quarterly newsletters for conference announcements (e.g., AAAI's AI magazine, IEEE
signal processing speech & language technical committee), which require CFPs to be
distributed at least 2-3 months in advance of submission deadlines.
Publications Chairs
 Christy Doran (MITRE)
 Eric Ringger (BYU)
At the recommendation of the ACL-HLT 2008 chair, we continued the tradition from
ACL 2008 of having two Publication Chairs, which seemed to work well. The Chairs
followed the recipe written for publications chairs by Joakim Nivre and Noah Smith,
located here:
http://stp.lingfil.uu.se/~nivre/how-to-pub.html
This includes the updated recipe for using ACLPUB to assemble the actual proceedings:
http://faculty.cs.byu.edu/~ringger/naacl09/howto.html
Several improvements are in the queue for both documents as well as the ACLPUB tools.
Notes for improvement and discussion:
o Better publicizing and enforcement of publications-related deadlines.
o Mailing lists for relevant subsets of organizing committee, including: PC cochairs,
local organizers, workshop chairs and sponsorship chairs (There are no
sponsor logos in the proceedings, since the sponsorship chairs did not know about
the deadline.)
o Improved documentation of pre-requisites for hand-off to OmniPress (e.g. file
formats), especially regarding book covers.
o Per Jan Hajic, there is an opportunity to integrate some of ACLPUB into START
o Numbers of needed printed volumes continue to drop. It may be a good time to
consider going digital only.
o Recommendations for shared documentation on aclweb.org?
Tutorials Chairs
 Ciprian Chelba (Google)
 Paul Kantor (Rutgers)
 Brian Roark (OHSU)
The tutorial chairs actively recruited submissions, received 12, and accepted 8. They
erred on the side of accepting rather than rejecting because of “ties” in the reviews, and
felt that it worked out quite well. Even though 8 tutorials is more than in most years
(typically 6), we ended up with sufficient enrollment in all 8 accepted proposals. The
complete list of tutorials is given below.
1. Data-Intensive Text Processing with MapReduce -- Jimmy Lin and Chris Dyer
45 participants
2. Distributed Language Models -- Thorsten Brants and Peng Xu
32 participants
3. Search Algorithms in NLP: Theory and Practice with Dynamic Programming --
Liang Huang
53 participants
4. Extracting world/linguistic knowledge from Wikipedia -- Simone Paolo Ponzetto
and Michael Strube
34 participants
5. OpenFst: An Open-Source, Weighted FST Library -- Martin Jansche/Cyril
Allauzen/Michael Riley
24 participants
6. OntoNotes: The 90% Solution -- Sameer Pradhan and Nianwen Xue
12 participants
7. VerbNet overview, extensions, mappings and apps -- Karin Kipper Schuler, Anna
Korhonen, Susan W. Brown
24 participants
8. Writing Systems, Transliteration and Decipherment -- Richard Sproat and Kevin
Knight
20 participants
Workshops Chairs
 Mark Hasegawa-Johnson (UIUC),
 Nizar Habash (Columbia)
There were 41 workshop submissions jointly to ACL, EACL, and NAACL. ACL
accepted 12, EACL accepted 10, and we accepted 11. Eleven plus the student workshop
and CoNLL gave a total of 13 workshops, listed below. Number of participants listed is
the final estimate from Priscilla Rasmussen as of May 26. For more information, see
http://isle.uiuc.edu/hltnaacl2009/.
1. Semantic Evaluations: Recent Achievements and Future Directions
Organizers: Eneko Agirre, LluÌs Marquez, Richard Wicentowski
42 participants
2. BioNLP 2009
Organizers: Sophia Ananiadou, K. Bretonnel Cohen, Dina Demner-Fushman,
John Pestian, Jun'ichi Tsujii, Bonnie Webber
74 participants
3. Third International Workshop on Cross Lingual Information Access: Addressing
the Information Need of Multilingual Societies
Organizers: Sivaji Bandyopadhyay, Pushpak Bhattacharya, Vasudeva Varma,
Sudeshna Sarkar, A Kumaran
14 participants
4. Workshop on Integer Linear Programming for Natural Language Processing
Organizers: James Clarke, Sebastian Riedel
25 participants
5. Software engineering, testing, and quality assurance for natural language
processing

34 participants
6. Computational Approaches to Linguistic Creativity
Organizers: Birte Loenneker-Rodman, Anna Feldman
34 participants
7. Unsupervised and minimally supervised learning of lexical semantics
Organizers: Suresh Manandhar, Ioannis Klapaftis
34 participants
8. Semi-supervised Learning for NLP
Organizers: Qin Wang, Kevin Duh, Dekang Lin
75 participants
9. Active Learning for NLP
Organizers: Eric Ringger, Robbie Haertel, Katrin Tomanek
35 participants
10. Innovative Use of NLP for Building Educational Applications
Organizers: Joel Tetreault, Jill Burstein, Claudia Leacock
34 participants
11. Third Workshop on Syntax and Structure in Statistical Translation
Organizers: Dekai Wu, David Chiang
48 participants
12. Thirteenth Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL)
Organizers: Suzanne Stevenson and Xavier Carreras
85 participants
The multi-conference proposal system seemed to work very well for all concerned: three
workshops that would not have been offered (because they were rejected by their firstchoice
conference) were, instead, offered at NAACL. All of the workshops had full
schedules, as indicated in the online schedule.
Demo Chairs
 Fred Popowich (Simon Fraser University)
 Michael Johnston (AT&T)
Six demos were submitted, and five were accepted. The demo chairs did not actively
recruit demos from specific research groups, and relied on the general publicity efforts.
Future organizers might consider opening the demos up to allow people who have
accepted papers to give demos in the demo session. From attending the demo session, the
presenters seemed to be happy with how it went (and they were glad that they were in the
high traffic area).
