Meeting Description:

The 2018 ACL Student Research Workshop (SRW) will be held in conjunction with
ACL 2018 in Melbourne, Australia. The SRW gives student researchers in
Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing the opportunity to
present their work and receive constructive feedback and mentorship by
experienced members of the ACL community.


Call for Papers:

Student Research Workshop Collocated with ACL 2018 Melbourne, Australia 
https://sites.google.com/view/aclsrw2018/home
 
The ACL 2018 Student Research Workshop (SRW) provides a forum for student
researchers who are investigating various areas related to Computational
Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. The workshop provides an
excellent opportunity for student participants to present their work and
receive valuable feedback from the international research community as well as
from selected panelists - experienced researchers, specifically assigned
according to the topic of their work, who will prepare in-depth comments and
questions in advance of the presentation. The workshop's goal is to aid
students at multiple stages of their education: from those in the final stages
of undergraduate training to those active with graduate thesis research. The
SRW invites two types of submissions:

Research Papers: completed work or work-in-progress along with preliminary
results. We encourage submissions from Ph.D. students, as well as Masters or
advanced undergraduate students.

Research Proposals: 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:

Pre-submission mentoring deadline: February 26, 2018
Pre-submission mentoring feedback: March 19, 2018
Paper submission deadline: April 8, 2018
Review deadline: April 25, 2018
Acceptance notification: May 2, 2018
Camera-ready deadline: May 21, 2018

Submission:

The deadline for submission is April 8, 2018. Students who wish to receive
pre-submission mentoring must submit by February 26, 2018. The SRW invites
papers on topics related to computational linguistics, including but not
limited to:

Cognitive modeling and psycholinguistics
Corpus development and evaluation
Dialog and interactive systems
Discourse and pragmatics
Document analysis including text categorization, topic models, and retrieval
Natural language generation
Information extraction, text mining, and question answering
Language-inclusive multimodal integration
Linguistic theories for NLP
Low-resource or endangered languages
Machine learning
Machine translation
Mathematical models of language
Multilinguality
Phonology, morphology, and word segmentation
Resources and evaluation
Semantics
Sentiment analysis and opinion mining
Social media: Twitter, blogs, discussion forums and other social media
Sociolinguistics
Speech, prosody and spoken dialog
Summarization
Tagging, chunking, syntax, and parsing
Vision, robots, and other grounding applications
