WORKSHOPS

The following six workshops will be collocated with NoDaLiDa:

The First NLPL Workshop on Deep Learning for Natural Language Processing
8th workshop on NLP for Computer-Assisted Language Learning (NLP4CALL)
The Second Financial Narrative Processing Workshop (FNP 2019)
Workshop on NLP and pseudonymisation
Computational Modeling of Facial Images and Their Description (FACES 2019)
Constraint Grammar - Methods, Tools and Applications

SUBMISSIONS

NoDaLiDa addresses all aspects of natural language processing, speech
recognition and synthesis and computational linguistics, including
work in closely-related neighboring disciplines (such as, for example,
machine learning, linguistics or psychology) that is sufficiently
formalized or applied to bear relevance to speech and language
technologies.

We invite paper submissions of three types:

* regular papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research,
including empirical evaluation results, where appropriate;
* short papers on smaller, focused contributions, work in progress,
negative results, surveys, or opinion pieces; and
* demonstration papers on software or resource demonstrations, e.g. of
systems, interfaces, infrastructures, data collections, or
annotations.

We particularly encourage the submission of papers on completed or
on-going work, where the first author is a Master or PhD student. This
should be indicated at submission time.

Papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be included in
the NoDaLiDa 2019 proceedings, which are published as part of the
NEALT Proceedings Series by Linköping University Electronic Press and
in the ACL Anthology.

SUBMISSION FORMATS

All submissions must follow the NoDaLiDa 2019 style files, which are
available for LaTeX (preferred) and MS Word and can be retrieved from
the following address:

http://www.nodalida2019.org/authorkit.zip

Submissions must be anonymous, i.e. not reveal author(s) on the title
page or through self-references. Papers must be submitted digitally,
in PDF, and uploaded through the on-line conference system. Paper
submissions that violate either of these requirements will be returned
without review.

The page limits for submissions are: up to eight pages for regular
papers, and up to four pages for short papers and demo papers. For all
three submission types, these page limits do not include additional
pages with bibliographic references.

DOUBLE SUBMISSION and PRE-PUBLICATION

Papers that have been or will be submitted to other venues must
indicate this at submission time in the Easychair submission system,
and must be withdrawn from the other venues if accepted to NoDALiDa
2019. Authors of papers accepted for presentation at NoDALiDa must
notify the program chairs by the camera-ready deadline as to whether
the paper will be presented. We will not accept for publication or
presentation the papers that overlap significantly in content or
results with papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere.

NoDaLiDA follows the ACL policy an anonymization and anonymity period.

The anonymity period for NoDaLiDa 2019 is from April 30, 2019.

SUBMISSION MANAGEMENT

Submissions to the conference must be uploaded electronically, obeying
the above requirements and no later than (end of day, anywhere in the
world):

Friday, May 31, 2019

NoDaLiDa 2019 utilizes the EasyChair conference management system for
