Full Title: 6th Workshop on Balto-Slavic Natural Language Processing 
Short Title: BSNLP 2017 

Date: 04-Apr-2017 - 04-Apr-2017
Location: Valencia, Spain 
Contact Person: Jakub Piskorski
Meeting Email: bsnlp at cs.helsinki.fi
Web Site: http://bsnlp-2017.cs.helsinki.fi/ 

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Lexicography; Morphology; Semantics; Syntax 

Language Family(ies): Baltic; Slavic 

Call Deadline: 16-Jan-2017 

Meeting Description:

The goal of this Workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and
industry working on NLP for Balto-Slavic languages. In particular, the
Workshop will serve to stimulate the research on NLP techniques for
Balto-Slavic languages, and to foster the creation of tools and resources for
these languages. The Workshop will provide a forum for exchanging ideas and
experience, discussing difficult-to-tackle problems, and making the resources
that are available more widely-known.


Call for Papers:

Submission:

There will be two types of submissions: long papers and short papers.

Long papers should describe original, unpublished and completed work. Short
papers should describe: (a) work in progress and/or small focused
contributions, or (b) system demonstrations, new linguistic resources and
experience of using existing software and resources, or (c) ongoing projects
and activities that are relevant to all stakeholders in the domain of
Balto-Slavic NLP.

Overlap with previously published work should be clearly mentioned. The
authors should indicate along with their submission if the paper has been
submitted elsewhere, e.g., to the main conference. In particular, in case the
paper is rejected by the main conference, it should be indicated in the
submission.

All submissions will be judged on correctness, novelty, technical strength,
clarity of presentation, usability, and significance/relevance to the
Workshop. Submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the
Program Committee.

The reviewing of long papers will be blind. Therefore, long papers should not
include the authors' names and affiliations. Self-citations and other
references that reveal the authors' identity must be avoided.

In particular, submissions describing systems, resources, or solutions that
are made available to the wider public would be strongly encouraged, as this
would help to promote computational linguistics applications for Balto-Slavic
languages.

Long paper submissions should follow the two-column format of EACL 2017
proceedings not exceeding eight (8) pages of content plus two (2) additional
pages for references. Short paper submissions should follow the same format,
and should not exceed four (4) pages for content plus two (2) additional pages
for references. Submissions must conform to the official style guidelines of
EACL 2017, which are contained in the style files, and must be in PDF.
Camera-ready versions of accepted papers must be provided both in LaTeX and
PDF format.

Programme:

The workshop will consists of:

- Oral presentations of accepted long and selected short papers,
- Two invited talks by prominent researchers in Balto-Slavic NLP,
- A Session dedicated to the shared task, including presentation of
participants’ solutions (see below), and
- Interactive session for presenting selected short papers that describe
systems, resources and projects that will start with a two-minute pitch-style
introduction of each of the papers
