We look forward to welcoming you to the home of the world's first computational linguist, Panini. COLING will cover a broad spectrum of technical areas related to natural language and computation. The conference will include full papers (oral presentations), short papers (poster presentations), demonstrations, tutorials, and workshops. We invite the submission of papers on original and unpublished research, on all theoretical and practical aspects of computational linguistics.<br><br>Topics of Interest<br>COLING 2012 solicits papers, posters and demonstrations on original and unpublished research on the following topics, including, but not limited to:<br>1. Indian language technology<br>2. Underresourced languages<br>3. Morphology & POS tagging<br>4. Grammar and formalisms<br>5. Parsing<br>6. Semantics<br>7. Discourse and pragmatics<br>8. Coreference resolution<br>9. Ontologies and terminology<br>10. Textual entailment<br>11. Resources and annotation<br>12. Psychological and neurological modelling<br>13.

Natural Language Generation<br><br><br>Instructions to Authors<br>1. Three communication formats: full papers (14 A5 sized pages with any number of reference pages), short papers (8 A5 sized pages with any number of reference pages) and demo papers (6 A5 sized pages with any number of reference pages).<br>2. Three presentation formats: Oral for full paper, Poster for short paper, Demo.<br>3. Papers are in English. However, if an author so wishes s/he may add elements in another language (L2): a title, an abstract and keywords on the first page, and if s/he wishes, 2 pages (a synopsis) in L2, beginning on page 2. Such papers will have 14+2 (or 8+2, or 6+2) pages, plus any number of pages for reference.<br>4. AT SUBMISSION TIME, PLEASE ANONYMISE everywhere, REPLACING NAMES BY DUMMIES LIKE John DOE_1, Jack DOE_2.</div><div>5. Papers must conform to official COLING 2012 style guidelines (LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates given on the web site).<br>6. Submission and reviewing will be on-line, managed by the START system. The only accepted format for submitted papers is PDF. Supplementary material - if any, in the form of tools or resources - must be in the form of a single .zip or a .tgz archive file with a maximum size of 10MB; otherwise there are no constraints on its format. Submissions, together with all supplementary material, must be uploaded on the START system by the submission deadlines; submissions after that time will not be reviewed. To minimize network congestion, we request authors to upload their submissions as early as possible (especially if they contain large supplementary material files).<br> The link for the "Call For Papers" is<br> <a href="http://www.coling2012-iitb.org/call_for_papers.php">http://www.coling2012-iitb.org/call_for_papers.php</a></div></body></html>
