===== SUBMISSION FORMAT<br>
<br>
Submissions will be hardcopy. Submissions must use the appropriate ACL
<br>
latex style or Microsoft Word style (links to which are available from
<br>
the conference web page <br>
<font color="#0000FF"><u><a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ref/naacl2001.html" eudora="autourl">http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ref/naacl2001.</a><a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ref/naacl2001.html" eudora="autourl">html</a></u></font>).
Submissions should follow the <br>
two-column format of ACL proceedings and should not exceed eight (8)
pages, <br>
including references. If you cannot use the ACL-standard styles directly,
<br>
a description of the required format will be available on the conference
<br>
web page. If you cannot access the conference web page or have other
<br>
questions about submissions, send email to naaclpgm@isi.edu.<br>
<br>
Reviewing will be blind. Thus, a separate identification page is <br>
required. The identification page should include the following:<br>
<br>
* Paper ID number (see SUBMISSION PROCEDURE below). <br>
* Title. <br>
* Authors' names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses. <br>
* Keywords: Up to 5 keywords specifying subject area. <br>
* Under consideration for other conferences? If yes, please list. <br>
* Abstract: Short (no more than 5 lines) summary.<br>
<br>
Authors' names and affiliations should be omitted from the paper <br>
itself. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity
<br>
(e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ... ") should be
avoided. <br>
Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith,
1991) ...".<br>
Papers that do not conform to these requirements are subject to being
<br>
rejected without review.<br>
<br>
