Dear Colleagues,
Call for papers (Please forward and distribute widely).
5th Pacific Northwest Regional NLP Workshop: NW-NLP 2018
=============================================
Call for Submissions and Participation
--------------------------------------
The fifth Pacific Northwest Regional Natural Language Processing Workshop will be held on Friday April 27 2018, in Redmond, WA. We welcome submissions of extended abstracts in all aspects of natural language text and speech processing, computational linguistics, and human language technologies.
As with past four workshops, the goal of this one-day NW-NLP event is to provide a less-formal setting in the Pacific Northwest to present research ideas, make new acquaintances, and learn about the breadth of exciting work currently being pursued in North-West area.
We encourage submissions of both completed and ongoing work. Accepted submissions will be presented as either an oral presentation or a poster. Students and less established researchers are especially encouraged to submit their work. This workshop will provide a venue for feedback on early-stage research.
Further information about the workshop is provided below. We look forward to your submissions and participation.
Sincerely,
Ryan Georgi, Maryam Siahbani, General Co-chairs
Will Lewis, Local Chair

Submission and Reviewing Procedures
---------------------------------------
The NW-NLP Workshop will accept two types of submissions:
Extended abstracts. 2-page maximum. This option is intended for submissions of original, completed or ongoing, unpublished research. Submissions should make use of ACL style files.
Authors may also submit 'as is' any full conference paper that has been (or that will soon be) submitted to some other conference or workshop (e.g. ACL, LREC, COLING, etc.). Because these papers will be peer-reviewed elsewhere, they will receive less detailed review notes from the NW-NLP committee. In your submission, please state where and when your paper was submitted/presented. If it was already presented, state whether it was a poster, a short paper or a long paper.
Submission is electronic, using the easychair submission software https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Feasycha...
Reviewing will not be double-blind; submissions should include author information. A strong preference will be given to student authored submissions. Please indicate, in your submitted .pdf file, a preference for oral or poster formats and the status of the work with respect to dual submission, as described for option (2) above.
