General Invitation For Submission
The Student Research Workshop at ACL conferences provides a venue for
student researchers to present their work in computational linguistics
and natural language processing. The students receive feedback from the
general conference audience as well as from mentors specifically
assigned according to the topic of the work.
We invite papers in two categories.
1. Thesis Proposals: This category is appropriate for advanced students
who have decided on a thesis topic and wish to get feedback on their
proposal and broader ideas for their continuing work.
2. Research Papers: Papers in this category can describe completed work
or work in progress with preliminary results.
Topics
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Phonology and Morphology, Word Segmentation
- Syntax, Tagging, Chunking and Parsing
- Semantics
- Multimodal Natural Language Processing
- Discourse, Dialogue, and Pragmatics
- Linguistic aspects of CL
- Summarization
- Generation
- Machine Learning for Language Processing
- Machine Translation
- Information Retrieval and Question Answering
- Information Extraction
- Spoken Language Processing (e.g., Spoken Term Detection,
Understanding, Dialogue Systems)
- Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining
- NLP-enabled Technology
- Document Categorization / Topic Clustering
- Social Media Analysis and Processing
- Language Resources and Evaluation Methods
Format Of The Workshop
All the accepted papers will be presented in the main conference poster
session giving the opportunity for students to interact and present
their work to a large and diverse audience. Each paper is also assigned
a mentor, an experienced researcher who will provide feedback on the
work.
In addition, we will have a separate session at the main conference
where student authors of the thesis proposal papers will give oral
presentations of their thesis topic. Each student presentation is
approximately 20 min.
We hope that this additional venue will enable the students to interact
with the mentors as well as with other student participants.
