It is with great sadness that we report the recent death of Susan Armstrong, who worked as Professor of translation technology at the University of Geneva until her retirement in 2014. She served as secretary to the European Chapter of the ACL from 1993­-2000, remaining on the Chapter’s nominating committee until 2004. She had a fundamental role in the founding and successful development of SIGDAT.

EMNLP 2015 First call for participation

EMNLP (Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing) is the annually held conference organized by ACL SIGDAT, the Association for Computational Linguistics special interest group on linguistic data and corpus-based approaches to natural language processing. SIGDAT was founded in 1993, and is one of ACL's oldest SIGs. This year, the 20th edition of EMNLP will be held from September 17-21, 2015, in Lisbon, Portugal.

Sad News: R.I.P. Fred Jelinek

The ACL sadly received the message about the unexpected passing away of Professor Fred Jelinek, on Tuesday night. Fred was one of the pioneers and founders of modern research in speech recognition and statistical machine translation and made enormous contributions to our field. In recognition of his contributions he received the ACL Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009. His death is a great loss for all those who knew him, and for the ACL community.
