SIGMORPHON 2016 Shared Task: Morphological Reinflection
-------------------------------------------------------

Morphological analysis and generation of previously unseen word forms is a fundamental problem in NLP the accuracy of which is crucial for the success of many downstream tasks. Learning morphological inflection patterns from labeled data is a current challenge that is addressed by a number of papers published in various ACL-related venues.

CoNLL

The SIGNLL Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning

Call for Papers

CoNLL is a top-tier conference, yearly organized by SIGNLL (the ACL Special Interest Group on Natural Language Learning). This year, CoNLL will be colocated with ACL 2016 in Berlin, Germany.

The shared task of CoNLL will again be Shallow Discourse Parsing (see below).

Topics

We invite the submission of papers on all aspects of computational approaches to natural language learning, including, but not limited to:

CoNLL-2015
Nineteenth Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning
July 30-31, 2015
Beijing, China
http://www.conll.org/

CoNLL is a top-tier conference, yearly organized by SIGNLL (the ACL
Special Interest Group on Natural Language Learning). This year, CoNLL
will be collocated with ACL 2015 in Beijing, China and for the first
time, it will accept both long and short papers.

The shared task of CoNLL will be Shallow Discourse Parsing (SDP), see
details below.
