Subject: 14th SIGMORPHON Workshop on Computational Research in Phonetics, Phonology, and Morphology

 
Full Title: 14th SIGMORPHON Workshop on Computational Research in Phonetics, Phonology, and Morphology 
Short Title: SIGMORPHON 

Date: 11-Aug-2016 - 11-Aug-2016
Location: Berlin, Germany 
Contact Person: Sandra Kuebler
Meeting Email: sigmorphon2016 at gmail.com

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics; Morphology; Phonetics; Phonology 

Call Deadline: 08-May-2016 

Meeting Description:

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in
applying computational techniques to problems in morphology, phonology, and
phonetics. Work that addresses orthographic issues is also welcome. Papers
will be on substantial, original, and unpublished research on these topics,
potentially including strong work in progress. Appropriate topics include (but
are not limited to) the following as they relate to the areas of the workshop:

- New formalisms, computational treatments, or probabilistic models of
existing linguistic formalisms 
- Unsupervised, semi-supervised or machine learning of linguistic knowledge 
- Models of psycholinguistic experiments 
- Morpheme identification and word segmentation 
- Algorithms, including finite-state methods 
- Corpus linguistics 
- Machine transliteration and back-transliteration 
- Speech technologies relating to phonetics or phonology 
- Speech science (both production and comprehension) 
- Analysis or exploitation of multilingual, multi-dialectal, or diachronic
data 
- Instructional technologies for second-language learners 
- Integration of morphology, phonology, or phonetics with other NLP tasks 
- Tools and resources 
- Approaches to orthographic variation

One of the missions of SIGMORPHON is to encourage interaction between work in
computational linguistics and work in theoretical phonetics, phonology and
morphology, and to ensure that each of these fields profits from the
interaction. Our recent meetings have been successful in this regard, and we
hope to see this continue in 2014. Many mainstream linguists studying
phonetics, phonology and morphology are employing computational tools and
models that are of considerable interest to computational linguists.
Similarly, models and tools developed by and for computational linguists may
be of interest to theoretical linguists working in these areas. This workshop
provides a forum for these researchers to interact and become exposed to each
others' ideas and research.

Shared Task: Morphological Reinflection

SIGMORPHON is hosting a shared task on morphological reinflection in 2016,
held at ACL in Berlin, Germany.

Important Dates:

8 May 2016, 23:59 EDT: Paper submission deadline
5 June 2016: Notification of acceptance
22 June 2016: Camera-ready papers due
11 August 2016: Workshop

Paper Submission:

Content: We solicit long and short paper. Long papers should be original,
topical, and clear. Completed work is preferable to intended work, but in any
event the paper should clearly indicate the state of completion of the
reported results. We also encourage short submissions, which can cover
research in progress, or can describe important problems (new or old).

Submission Format: The only accepted format for submitted papers is Adobe PDF.
Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings, and long
papers should not exceed eight (8) pages, short papers should not exceed four
(4) pages. One additional page is allowed for the References section in both
cases.  However, all material other than the bibliography must fall within the
first 8/4 pages! We strongly recommend the use of the LaTeX style files or
Microsoft Word document template that will available on the ACL conference web
site. We reserve the right to reject submissions that do not conform to these
styles, including font size restrictions.

Online submission is available at:
