Call Deadline: 26-Apr-2016 

Meeting Description:

The Student Research Workshop (SRW) will be held in conjunction with ACL 2016.
The SRW is designed to provide a venue for student researchers in
Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing to present their
work.

Call for Papers: 

The Student Research Workshop (SRW) will be held in conjunction with ACL 2016.
The SRW is designed to provide a venue for student researchers in
Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing to present their
work. Students will receive feedback and mentorship from an experienced
researcher in the field based on the topic of their submission. The SRW
invites two types of submissions: 

- Research Papers: completed work or works-in-progress along with preliminary
results. We encourage submissions from Ph.Ds, as well as Masters students or
advanced undergraduates.
- Thesis Proposal: for advanced Masters and Ph.D. students who have decided on
a thesis topic and are interested in feedback about their proposal and ideas
about future directions for their work.

This year we provide two mentoring programs:

- Pre-submission mentoring: the goal is to improve presentation of the
student's work, not to critique the work itself. Mentors will provide feedback
in the format of guidelines and suggestions to improve the overall writing.
- Mentoring for Accepted Papers: mentors will be responsible for providing
feedback to students and preparing in-depth comments and questions prior to
the workshop presentation.

Important Dates:

February 22: Pre-submission Mentoring Deadline
March 7: Pre-submission Mentoring Feedback
April 26: Paper Submission Deadline
May 26: Acceptance Notification

All deadlines are 11:59PM Pacific Time.

Submissions:

Both thesis proposals and research papers are limited to 5 pages for content,
with any number of additional pages allowed for references. Upon acceptance,
authors will be allowed 1 additional page of content in order to incorporate
suggestions from the reviewers.

Paper drafts for pre-submission mentoring should be sent in the PDF format to
acl-srw-2016 at googlegroups.com. Note: pre-submission mentoring is not
anonymous; the mentor will not be the same person that will review the final
submission. Papers sent for pre-submission mentoring but not submitted via the
electronic system (see the instructions below) by April 26, will not be
reviewed.

Final submissions should be made electronically, using the Softconf submission
software at https://www.softconf.com/acl2016/SRW/.  The submission file must
be in PDF format. Please use ACL style files (LaTeX or Microsoft Word) to
prepare your manuscript.

Grant: 

There will be a limited amount of travel support and/or additional funding to
cover expenses. We are working on this and will announce more information
soon.

Contact: 

The co-chairs of the workshop can be contacted by email at:
acl-srw-2016 at googlegroups.com. More information can be found at the website:
