mso-bidi-font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">NAACL is pleased to announce the North
American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics - Human
Language Technologies (NAACL HLT) 2012 conference. The conference covers a
broad spectrum of disciplines working towards enabling intelligent systems to
interact with humans using natural language, and towards enhancing human-human
communication through services such as speech recognition, automatic translation,
information retrieval, text summarization, and information extraction. NAACL
HLT 2012 will feature long papers, short papers, demonstrations, and a doctoral
consortium, as well as associated tutorials and workshops.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:

also be appropriate for a small, focused contribution, a work in progress, a

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 previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...” Papers that do not conform to
these requirements will be rejected without review. In addition, please do not
