paper submissions -- a 24% submission increase over ACL-08: HLT --

with 569 full papers and 356 short papers. The significant

Chairs worked with 489 Program Committee members and 85 additional

reviewers to come up with 2,551 reviews, in total, for the final
 +
paper selection. 21% of the full paper submissions are accepted;
 +
all of these will be presented orally.  26% of the short paper
 +
submissions are accepted; some of these will be presented orally

and some will be given as poster presentations. While short papers

are distinguished from full papers in the proceedings, there is no
 +
distinction in the proceedings between short papers presented
 +
orally and those presented as poster presentations.

Furthermore, the short-paper posters are clustered together by

topic and assigned poster numbers, to provide better information

access for the audience and easier logistics for the Local

ACL-IJCNLP 2009: Program Co-Chairs' Report

This year, we received a record number of 925 valid paper submissions -- a 24% submission increase over ACL-08: HLT -- with 569 full papers and 356 short papers. The significant submission increase shows how vigorous our field is.   20 Area Chairs worked with 489 Program Committee members and 85 additional reviewers to come up with 2,551 reviews, in total, for the final paper selection. 21% of the full paper submissions are accepted; all of these will be presented orally.  26% of the short paper submissions are accepted; some of these will be presented orally and some will be given as poster presentations. While short papers are distinguished from full papers in the proceedings, there is no distinction in the proceedings between short papers presented orally and those presented as poster presentations.  Furthermore, the short-paper posters are clustered together by topic and assigned poster numbers, to provide better information access for the audience and easier logistics for the Local Arrangements Committee.   Submissions and acceptances by areas are as following:

  The best (student) papers will be announced at the end of the conference.  This will allow time for the decision process, which involves soliciting suggestions from the area chairs, and forming a committee to read and judge the camera ready papers.
