'''SIGHAN Officers'''

The SIGHAN officers serve from April 15, 2016 until April 14, 2018. The current board consists of:
• Chair -- Min ZHANG (Soochow University)
• Vice-Chair/Chair-Elect -- Nianwen XUE (Brandeis University)
• Treasurer -- SUN Le (Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences)

'''Events'''

The main action for the SIGHAN community last year was the Eighth
SIGHAN Workshop on Chinese Language Processing. The workshop was held
on July 30-31, 2015 in Beijing, China in conjunction with ACL-IJCNLP 2015.
The workshop was co-organized by Liang-Chih Yu, Yuan Ze University;
Zhifang Sui, Peking University; Yue Zhang, Singapore University of
Technology and Design; and Vincent Ng, University of Texas at Dallas.
The workshop also featured two Bakeoff tasks: Chinese Spell Checking and
Topic-based Chinese Message Polarity Classification.

In addition, elections were held to select the officers of the
SIGHAN board as well as information officers. The elections were
completed in April 2016, and the new members of the board have
taken up their responsibilties, thanking outgoing Chair Chengqing ZONG
for his leadership.

'''Plans'''

We are now preparing for the Fourth CIPS-SIGHAN Joint Conference on
Chinese Language Processing to be held in late 2016. The conference will
feature high quality papers in all aspects of Chinese language processing.
The conference organizing committee includes Min Zhang (Soochow University),
Le Sun (Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences),
and Chengqing Zong (Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences).
