Members

The current SIGSEM membership counts 788 members. We have started cleaning up the database with members, by removing registered members whose email addresses aren't valid anymore after a couple of email bounces, of people who we can't reach otherwise. There is an active, moderated mailinglist, see SIGSEM.

Major SIGSEM Events: *SEM and IWCS

In 2012 SIGSEM and SIGLEX co-organised the start of new conference, *SEM, which took place in Montreal at NAACL. We see this as a very positive move towards collaboration of the SIGLEX and SIGSEM communities, which have a large overlap in research interests, but historically originated from different angles. See 2012Q3_Reports:_SIGLEX for a more detailed report on *SEM. The organisation of the next major SIGSEM event is IWCS-2013, which will take place in Potsdam, Germany in March next year. Two board members (Alexander Koller and Katrin Erk) take care of the organisation.
