SIGDAT report:

SIGDAT, the ACL special interest group on Linguistic data and
corpus-based approaches to NLP will be holding its annual conference,
EMNLP-2016, in Austin from November 2-6, 2016.

General Chair: Jian Su
Program Chairs: Kevin Duh and Xavier Carreras
Workshop Chairs: Annie Louis and Greg Kondrak
Tutorial Chairs: Bishan Yang and Rebecca Hwa
Sponsorship Chairs: Michel Galley and Hang Li
Publication Chairs: Siddharth Patwardhan and Daniele Pighin
Publicity Chair: Saif M. Mohammad
Handbook Chair: Swapna Somasundaran
Website Chair: Jackie C.K. Cheung
SIGDAT Liaison: Chris Callison-Burch
Local Arrangements Chair: Priscilla Rasmussen

EMNLP is being held as a stand-alone conference with 1 day workshops
preceding and following the main conference. (Due to conference room
scheduling constraints we were unable to do two consecutive days of
workshops, which precludes larger 2-day workshops this year.) More
information about the conference can be found at http://www.emnlp2016.net/

We plan to hold EMNLP 2017 as a stand-alone conference in Europe in
September or October. The selection of region was based on a survey
of the SIGDAT membership following the 2015 conference. The SIGDAT
advisory board helped to brainstorm and rank European cities with NLP
researchers, and the SIGDAT Secretary-Treasurer is proceeding
through that list soliciting bids from potential local hosts.

The SIGDAT officers are

President: Mark Steedman
Vice President: Pascale Fung
Vice President-Elect: Mirella Lapata
Secretary-Treasurer: Chris Callison-Burch

There is also a standing committee of about 45 members, which can be
found on the SIGDAT web site at http://emnlp.org.
