Meeting Description:

The Society for Computation in Linguistics (SCiL) is devoted to facilitating
and promoting research on computational and mathematical approaches in
Linguistics. SCiL aims to provide a central forum for exchange of ideas and
dissemination of original research results on computational approaches in any
area of linguistics.The inaugural meeting of SCiL will be co-located with LSA
2018 as a sister society in Salt Lake City, Utah, January 4-7, 2018. It will
be held jointly with a one-time workshop on “Perceptrons and Syntactic
Structures at Sixty” and the 2018 meeting of Cognitive Modeling in
Computational Linguistics (CMCL).

Call for Papers:

The Society for Computation in Linguistics (SCiL) invites submissions to its
inaugural meeting, SCiL 2018.

We seek high-quality research on computational and mathematical approaches in
any area of linguistics. There will be two submission tracks: papers and
abstracts. Accepted papers and abstracts will be presented (either orally or
as posters) at the SCiL 2018 meeting. Papers will be published prior to the
conference in the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) Anthology.
Authors of accepted abstracts will have the option to submit extended
abstracts prior to the conference. Both papers and extended abstracts will be
published online in the forthcoming open-access SCiL proceedings.

Invited Speakers:
- Jacob Andreas
- Emily M. Bender
- Sam Bowman
- Chris Dyer
- Jason Eisner
- Robert Frank
- Matt Goldrick
- Sharon Goldwater
- Paul Smolensky

Important Dates
- Submission Deadline (papers and abstracts): August 1, 2017
- Notification of Acceptance: mid-September, 2017
- Camera Ready Papers and Abstracts Due: November 1, 2017
- Conference: January 4-7, 2018

Submissions:

Papers (8pp) and abstracts (2pp) are due August 1, 2017. Links to the
submission site will be posted by July 1, 2017. Papers and abstracts must be
anonymous and prepared in PDF format according to the following guidelines.

Papers:

Paper submissions must describe original, completed, and unpublished work.
They are limited to 8 content pages (plus unlimited pages for references) and
should follow the two-column ACL format. Style templates are available from
the NAACL website:

http://naacl.org/naacl-pubs/

Accepted papers will be published in the ACL Anthology prior to the
conference, and will be presented either as oral or poster presentations at
SCiL 2018. Papers will also be published online in the forthcoming open-access
SCiL proceedings.

Abstracts:

Abstract submissions must describe original and completed work. To facilitate
exchange of research ideas across disciplines, this track will consider work
that has been previously presented (and potentially published) at venues with
distinct scope and target audiences from SCiL. Submissions describing
previously presented/published work must indicate so at submission time.

Abstracts length is limited to a maximum of two single-spaced pages (US
Letter), figures and references included. Font should be 12-point Times or
Times New Roman throughout, and the document should be single-spaced, left
justified, with margins of exactly one inch on all sides. Title and section
headings (if used) should bold.

Accepted abstracts will be presented at SCiL 2018 as posters or oral
presentations. Authors of accepted abstracts will have the option to extend
abstracts up to 4 pages (extended abstracts). Abstracts and extended abstracts
will be published before the conference in the forthcoming open-access SCiL
Proceedings.
