SIGDAT, the ACL special interest group on Linguistic data and corpus-based approaches to NLP will be holding its annual conference, EMNLP-15 in Lisbon on September 17–21.

  • Conference chair: Lluís Màrquez
  • Program chairs: Chris Callison-Burch and Jian Su
  • Workshops chairs: Zornitsa Kozareva and Jörg Tiedemann
  • Publication chair: Daniele Pighin and Yuval Marton

It is being held as a stand-alone conference with attached workshops. More information about the conference can be found at http://www.emnlp2015.org/

The general consensus of the SIGDAT standing committee is that NLP is large enough for another major conference, and it is generally a good idea to have conferences throughout the year. Thus our intention is to continue with the stand-alone model.

EMNLP 2015 is planned as a stand-alone conference in Lisbon, Portugal.

The SIGDAT officers are

  • President: Mark Johnson
  • Vice President: Mark Steedman
  • Vice President-Elect: Pascale Fung
  • Secretary-Treasurer: Noah Smith

There is also as standing committee of about 45 members.
