	EMNLP 2015 experienced an unprecedented boost in submitted papers. There were 1,300 valid submissions: 600 long papers and 700 short papers, which were allocated to one of 15 areas. 312 papers were accepted for the final program (157 long and 155 short papers), representing a global acceptance rate of 24%. An additional 17 papers accepted by the TACL journal were presented at the conference as well. The program was complemented with very interesting keynote speakers, Yoshua Bengio (Université de Montréal) and Justin Grimmer (Stanford University), who talked about "Deep Learning of Semantic Representations" and "Measuring How Elected Officials and Constituents Communicate", respectively.
