<b>General Invitation for Submissions</b><br>
The ACL Student Research Workshop provides a venue for student
researchers investigating topics in Computational Linguistics and
Natural Language Processing to present their research, to meet
potential advisors, and to receive feedback from the international
research community. The workshop's goal is to aid students at
multiple stages of their education: from those in the final stages
of undergraduate training to those who are preparing their
graduate thesis proposal. Towards this goal, we invite papers in
two separate categories.<br>
<br>
1. Thesis/Research Proposals: This category is appropriate for
experienced students who wish to get feedback on their proposal
and broader ideas for the field in order to strengthen their final
research.<br>
<br>
2. Research Papers: Most appropriate for students who are new to
academic conferences. Papers in this category can describe
completed work or work in progress with preliminary results.<br>
<br>
Subject to the availability of established researcher volunteers,
each accepted paper will be assigned a mentor, who will provide
feedback on the work to the student at the conference. Details on
this service will be provided in the acceptance notification.<br>
<br>
