<br />
==SHARING (May 31, 2011)==<br />
<br />
IJCNLP2011 is still in its call-for-papers stage. During the design<br />
of the conferences, we have come across several technical issues which<br />
are worth sharing with the ACL community:<br />
<br />
*we estimated a breakeven point of around 350 attendants and we expected around 400.<br />
<br />
*the deadline for paper submission was set (June 2) not long after the notification of other major conferences, e,g, EMNLP (May 20)<br />
<br />
*we have adopted the ACL policy to allow multiple submissions, i.e. papers submitted to other conferences are accepted<br />
<br />
*it is difficult to secure sponsorship. So far we have 2: one local and one from Singapore; we have been turned down by Baidu, Tencent, and Yahoo. Google is still considering. It would be helpful if ACL members could provide us some pointers.<br />
<br />
*we have decided not to publish our proceedings by a commercial publisher so that our papers can be included in the ACL Anthology.<br />
<br />
*we had debates on submission by PC and Area chairs and we adopted the EMNLP policy, which permits their submissions and submission by a chair will be handled by another chair to ensure impartiality.</div>Ahakim
