<div> ・ Phonology, Morphology, Tagging, Chunking and Segmentation</div><div> ・ Syntax and Parsing</div><div> ・ Semantics</div><div> ・ Discourse, Dialogue, and Pragmatics</div><div> ・ Language resources</div><div> ・ Summarization and Generation</div>
<div> ・ NLP-related Machine Learning: theory, methods and algorithms</div><div> ・ Machine Translation</div><div> ・ Information Retrieval and Question Answering</div><div> ・ Information Extraction</div><div> ・ Spoken Language Processing</div>
<div> ・ Text Mining and Natural Language Processing Applications</div><div> ・ Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining</div><div> ・ NLP for the Web and social media</div><div> ・ Computational models of human language processing</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>---- IMPORTANT DATES ---- </div><div><br></div><div> ・ Long and short paper submission deadline: July 5, 2013</div><div> ・ Co-submission cutoff date: July 12, 2013 (see below for details)</div>
<div> ・ Author response period: August 14-17, 2013</div><div> ・ Acceptance notification (long and short papers): August 26, 2013</div><div> ・ Camera-ready submission: September 16, 2013</div><div> ・ Workshop dates: October 18, 2013</div>
<div> ・ Main conference dates: October 19-21, 2013</div><div><br></div><div>All deadlines are calculated at 11:59pm (UTC/GMT -11 hours)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>---- SUBMISSIONS ---- </div><div><br></div><div>
Submissions should describe original, unpublished work. Papers presented at</div><div>EMNLP should mainly contain new material that has not been presented at any</div><div>other meeting with publicly available proceedings. Papers that have been or</div>
<div>will be submitted to other meetings or publications must disclose this</div><div>information at submission time. Please list all other meetings where the paper</div><div>has been submitted in the "other submissions" field on the submission</div>
<div>site (and see below for details of the multiple submission policy).</div><div><br></div><div>Each LONG paper submission consists of a paper of up to nine (9) pages of</div><div>content and any number of additional pages containing references only,</div>
<div>together with optional supplementary material as described below.</div><div><br></div><div>EMNLP 2013 also solicits short papers. Characteristics of short papers include:</div><div><br></div><div> ・ A small, focused contribution</div>
<div> ・ Work in progress</div><div> ・ A negative result</div><div> ・ An opinion piece</div><div> ・ An interesting application nugget</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>SHORT papers will be presented orally or as a poster (at the discretion of the</div>
<div>programme chairs), and will be given four (4) pages plus 2 pages for</div><div>references in the proceedings. While short papers will be distinguished from</div><div>long papers in the proceedings, there will be no distinction in the</div>
<div>proceedings between short papers presented orally or as posters. Each short</div><div>paper submission will be reviewed by at least two programme committee members.</div><div><br></div><div>Both long and short papers should follow the two-column format of NAACL 2013</div>
<div>proceedings. Please use the official NAACL 2013 style files for the paper (and</div><div>ensure that your paper is Letter size). We reserve the right to reject</div><div>submissions if the paper does not conform to these styles, including letter</div>
<div>size and font size restrictions</div><div><br></div><div>As reviewing will be blind, the submission should not include the authors'</div><div>names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's</div>
<div>identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", should be</div><div>avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith (1991) previously showed</div><div>...". Submissions that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected</div>
<div>without review. Separate author identification information is required as part</div><div>of the on-line submission process.</div><div><br></div><div>The supplementary material should be supplementary (rather than central) to</div>
<div>the paper. It may include explanations or details of proofs or derivations</div><div>that do not fit into the paper, lists of features or feature templates, sample</div><div>inputs and outputs for a system, pseudo-code or source code, and data. The</div>
<div>paper should not rely on the supplementary material: while the paper may refer</div><div>to and cite the supplementary material and the supplementary material will be</div><div>available to reviewers, they will not be asked to review or even download the</div>
<div>supplementary material.</div><div><br></div><div>Submission and reviewing will be on-line, managed by the START system. The</div><div>only accepted format for submitted papers is Adobe PDF. The supplementary</div><div>
material must be in the form of a single .zip or a .tgz archive file with a</div><div>maximum size of 10MB; otherwise there are no constraints on its</div><div>format. Submissions, together with all supplementary material, must be</div>
<div>uploaded to the START system by the submission deadlines; submissions</div><div>submitted after that time will not be reviewed. To minimise network congestion</div><div>we request authors upload their submissions as early as possible (especially</div>
<div>if they contain large supplementary material files).</div><div><br></div><div>We are now accepting long and short paper submissions via:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.softconf.com/emnlp2013/papers/">https://www.softconf.com/emnlp2013/papers/</a></div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>---- MULTIPLE SUBMISSION POLICY ----</div><div><br></div><div>Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or publications</div><div>must indicate this at submission time. To alleviate review duplication,</div>
<div>multiple submissions are only allowed over a narrow time window, up until July</div><div>12, 2013. By this date, authors of co-submitted papers must notify the PC</div><div>Chairs of their decision to either (a) withdraw the paper from EMNLP; or (b)</div>
<div>withdraw the paper from the other venues it was co-submitted to and have it</div><div>reviewed for EMNLP only.</div><div><br></div><div>There must be at least one registered author at the conference for each</div><div>
accepted paper, and all accepted papers must be presented at the conference to</div><div>appear in the proceedings. It is not acceptable to submit papers that overlap</div><div>significantly in content or results with work that will be (or has been)</div>
<div>published elsewhere.</div><div><br></div><div>Authors submitting more than one paper to EMNLP 2013 must ensure that</div><div>submissions do not overlap significantly (> 50%) with each other in content or</div><div>
results. Authors should not submit short and long versions of papers with</div><div>substantial overlap in their original contributions.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>---- WORKSHOPS ----</div><div><br></div><div>
