Meeting Description:

COLING 2016 Call for System Demonstrations

The 26th International Conference on Computational Linguistics
December 11 - 16, 2016, Osaka, Japan.

http://coling2016.anlp.jp/

The COLING 2016 Demonstration Program Committee invites proposals for system
demonstrations. The demonstration program is part of the main conference
program and aims at showcasing working systems
that apply a wide range of conference topics. The session will provide
opportunities to exchange ideas gained from implementing NLP systems, and to
obtain feedback from expert users.

The COLING conference has a history that dates back to the 1960s. It is held
every two years and regularly attracts more than 700 delegates. The conference
has developed into one of the premier Natural Language Processing (NLP)
conferences worldwide and is a major international event for the presentation
of new research results and for the demonstration of new systems and
techniques in the broad field of Computational Linguistics and NLP.

Call for System Demonstrations:

August 26, 2016: Paper submission deadline
September 30, 2016: Author notification
October 14, 2016: Camera-ready PDF due

Topics of interest:

COLING 2016 solicits demonstrations on original and unpublished research
on the following topics, including, but not limited to:

- Pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax, grammar and lexicon
- Lexical semantics and ontologies
- Word segmentation, tagging and chunking
- Parsing, syntactic and semantic
- Semantic role labeling
- Discourse relations and Discourse Structure
- Dialogue and conversational agents
- Language generation
- Summarization
- Question answering
- Paraphrasing and textual entailment
- Multilingual processing, machine translation and translation aids
- Information retrieval
- Information extraction
- Sentiment analysis, opinion mining
- Computational argumentation
- Social media
- Speech recognition, text-to-speech and spoken language understanding
- Multimodal systems and representations
- Applications
- Tools in aid of NLP tasks and applications
- Corpus development and language resources
- System evaluation methodology and metrics
- Machine learning for natural language
- Cognitive, mathematical and computational models of language processing
- Models of communication by language

Submissions:

The submissions should address the following questions:

- What is the problem the proposed system addresses?
- Why is the system important and what is its impact?
- What is the novelty of the used approach/technology?
- Who is the target audience?
- How does the system work?
- How does it compare with existing systems?
- How is the system licensed?

The maximum submission length is 4 pages (including references). Papers shall
be submitted in English and must conform to the official COLING 2016 style
guidelines available on the conference website. The anonymisation of
submissions is optional. If authors choose to remain anonymous, it is their
responsibility to take every measure to conceal potentially identifying
information.

Submission and reviewing will be managed in the START system:
https://www.softconf.com/coling2016/demos/

The only acceptable format for submissions is PDF. Accepted papers will appear
in the conference proceedings in a dedicated volume for demonstration systems.

Demonstration chair:

Hideo Watanabe, IBM Research – Tokyo

This year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $79,000. This money 
will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our 
Student Editors for the coming year.

Don't forget to check out Fund Drive 2016 site!

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
