<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">Joint Call for Workshop Proposals: EACL 2014 & ACL 2014 & EMNLP 2014<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">The European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL), the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), and the Conference on Empirical Methods
in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP) invite proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with EACL 2014, ACL 2014, or EMNLP 2014. We solicit proposals on any topic of interest to the ACL communities. Workshops will be held at one of the following conference
venues:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">EACL 2014 is the 14th Annual Meeting of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL). It will be held in Gothenburg, Sweden 26-30 April.
The EACL workshops will be held 26-27April. The webpage for EACL 2014 is: http://eacl2014.org/.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">ACL 2014 is the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics. It will be held in Baltimore, MD, USA, 22-27 June 2014. The dates for the ACL workshops
will be 26-27 June. The webpage for ACL 2014 will be included once it is available.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">EMNLP 2014 is the SIGDAT conference on Empirical Methods for Natural Language Processing (EMNLP). It started in 1993 with the series of Workshops on Very Large Corpora
and was renamed EMNLP in 1996. The main conference will be held in Doha, Qatar, October 26-28. The dates for the EMNLP workshops are still not definitive, most likely they will be October 25 and October 29 (October 30 can be available for 2-days workshops).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">The webpage for EMNLP 2014 will be included once it is available.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">Proposals will be reviewed jointly by the Workshop Co-Chairs of the three conferences.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">SUBMISSION INFORMATION<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">Proposals for workshops should contain:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">1. A title and brief (2-page max) description of the workshop topic and content.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">2. The desired workshop length (one or two days) and an estimate of the number of attendees.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">3. The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of the organizers, with one-paragraph statements of their research interests and areas of expertise.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">4. A list of Programme Committee members, with an indication of which members have already agreed. It is highly desirable for proposals to have at least 75% of the Programme
Committee reviewers confirmed at the time of the submission. Organizers should do their best to estimate the number of submissions (especially for recurring workshops) in order to (a) ensure a sufficient number of reviewers so that each paper receives 3 reviews,
and (b) anticipate that no one is committed to reviewing more than 2 papers. This practice is likely to ensure on-time, and more thorough and thoughtful reviews. Submissions should essentially be ready to be turned into a Call for Workshop Papers within one
week of notification (see Timelines).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">5. A description of any shared tasks associated with the workshop.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">6. A description of special requirements for technical needs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">7. A note specifying which venue(s) (EACL/ACL/EMNLP) would be acceptable and/or preferable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">Workshop co-chairs will review the quality of the workshop proposals. Once the reviews are complete, the workshop co-chairs will work together to assign workshops to the
three conferences, taking into account the location preferences and constraints provided by the workshop proposers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">The ACL has a set of policies on workshops.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">Proposals may be submitted as Plain text, MS Word, or PDF documents (preferably PDF). Proposals should be attached and emailed to the workshop organizers (eacl.acl.emnlp.w14@gmail.com)
no later than 20 October 2013, Samoa Standard Time (SST) (UTC/GMT-11). *You should receive a confirmation of proposal receipt within 24 hours. If you do not, please get in touch with Jill Burstein: jburstein@ets.org.*<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">Notification of acceptance of workshop proposals will occur no later than 4 November 2014.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Courier New"">Organizers of accepted proposals will be responsible for publicizing and running the workshop, including reviewing submissions, producing the camera ready workshop proceedings,
and organizing the meeting days. It is crucial that organizers commit to all deadlines. In particular, failure to produce the camera ready proceedings on time will lead to the exclusion of the workshop from the CD-ROM/USB & unified author indexes. Workshop
organizers cannot accept for publication papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere, although they are free to set their own policies on simultaneous submission and review. Since the conferences will occur at different times, the timescales for
the submission and reviewing of workshop papers, and the preparation of camera-ready copies, will be different for each conference. Suggested timescales for each of the conferences are given below. Workshop organizers should not deviate from this schedule unless
absolutely necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
