     SIGMORPHON2012 Call for Papers

                  NAACL 2012
               Montreal, Quebec, Canada
                   June 7th

        Twelfth Meeting of the
      ACL Special Interest Group
     on Computational Morphology,
       Phonology and Phonetics

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in
applying computational techniques to problems in morphology, phonology, and
phonetics. Work that addresses orthographic  issues are also welcome.
Papers will be on substantial, original, and unpublished research on these
topics, potentially including strong work in progress.  Appropriate topics
include (but are not limited to) the following as they relate to the areas
of the workshop:

* New formalisms, computational treatments, or probabilistic models of
existing   linguistic formalisms
* Unsupervised, semi-supervised or machine learning of linguistic knowledge
* Models of psycholinguistic experiments
* Morpheme identification and word segmentation
* Algorithms, including finite-state methods
* Corpus linguistics
* Machine transliteration and back-transliteration
* Speech technologies relating to phonetics or phonology
* Speech science (both production and comprehension)
* Analysis or exploitation of multilingual, multi-dialectal, or diachronic
data
* Instructional technologies for second-language learners
* Integration of morphology, phonology, or phonetics with other NLP tasks
* Tools and resources
* Approaches to orthographic variation

One of the missions of SIGMORPHON is to encourage interaction between work
in computational linguistics and work in theoretical phonetics, phonology
and morphology, and to ensure that each of these fields profits from the
interaction. Our recent meetings have been successful in this regard, and
we hope to see this continue in 2012.  Many mainstream linguists studying
phonetics, phonology and morphology are employing computational tools and
models that are of considerable interest to computational linguists.
Similarly, models and tools developed by and for computational linguists
may be of interest to theoretical linguists working in these areas.  This
workshop provides a forum for these researchers to interact and become
exposed to each others' ideas and research.

This workshop will be the twelfth meeting of SIGMORPHON (formerly called
SIGPHON). We will hold a full-day workshop consisting of approximately 12
half-hour presentations.

The workshop will be held on June 7th, immediately after the NAACL 2012
meeting at Le Centre Sheraton, Montreal, Canada.

The workshop website is:

The organisers can be contacted at sigmorphon2012 at nltg.org.uk.

Important Dates
---------------

* Submission Deadline: March 26th, 2012, 23:59 EDT
* Notification: April 23rd, 2012
* Camera-ready deadline: May 4th, 2012
* Workshop: June 7th, 2012

Paper Submission
----------------
Content: Papers should be original, topical, and clear. Completed work is
preferable to intended work, but in any event the paper should clearly
indicate the state of completion of the reported results. Authors are
encouraged to study the actual form used by reviewers (
http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/research/sigmorphon2012/review-form.html) to
assess papers.

Submission Format: The only accepted format for submitted papers is Adobe
PDF. Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings,
and should not exceed eight (8) pages. One additional page is allowed for
the References section.  Thus, your PDF file may be 9 pages. However, all
material other than the bibliography must fall within the first 8 pages!
We strongly recommend the use of the LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word
document template that are available on the ACL conference web site (
http://www.naaclhlt2012.org/conference/conference.php).  We reserve the
right to reject submissions that do not conform to these styles, including
font size restrictions.

Anonymous Review: Reviewing of papers will be double-blind. Therefore, the
paper must not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore,
self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously
showed (Smith, 1991) ...", must be avoided. Instead, use citations such as
"Smith (1991) previously showed ...". Papers that do not conform to these
requirements will be rejected without review.

Conflicts of Interest: Authors should mark on the submission page any
program committee member with whom they have a conflict of interest, such
as a recent collaborator, a recent colleague at the same institution, or a
close personal friend.

Double Submitting: Papers that have been or will be submitted to other
meetings or publications must provide this information on the START online
submission page. Papers may not be submitted to SIGMORPHON 2012 if they are
currently or will be submitted to other meetings or publications and that
other meeting or publication prohibits multiple submission. If SIGMORPHON
2012 accepts a paper, authors must notify the program chairs *immediately*
indicating which meeting they choose for presentation of their work.
SIGMORPHON 2012 cannot accept for publication or presentation work that
will be (or has been) published elsewhere.

Online submission will be available shortly.

The submission deadline is Monday March 26th, 2012 23:59 EDT. Papers
submitted after the deadline will not be reviewed.
