Full Title: SIGMORPHON 2019 

Date: 02-Aug-2019 - 02-Aug-2019
Location: Florence,, Italy 
Contact Person: Garrett Nicolai
Meeting Email: gnicola2 at jhu.edu

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

Call Deadline: 15-Apr-2019 

Meeting Description:

SIGMORPHON aims 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substantial, original, and unpublished research on these topics, potentially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
Analysis or exploitation of multilingual, multi-dialectal, or diachronic data
Integration of morphology, phonology, or phonetics with other NLP tasks
Algorithms for string analysis and manipulation, including finite-state
methods
Models of psycholinguistic experiments
Approaches to orthographic variation
Approaches to morphological reinflection
Corpus linguistics
Machine transliteration and back-transliteration
Morpheme identification and word segmentation
Speech technologies relating to phonetics or phonology
Speech science (both production and comprehension)
Instructional technologies for second-language learners
Tools and resources
SIGMORPHON encourages 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 2019.

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.

Important Dates:

15 April, 2019: Paper submission deadline

15 May, 2019: Notification of Acceptance

29 May, 2019: Camera-ready deadline

2 August, 2019: Workshop

Paper Submission

Online submission is available at:
https://www.softconf.com/acl2019/sigmorphon/

Content:   

Long papers should be original, topical, and clear. Completed work is
preferable to intended work. Either way, the paper must disclose the state of
completion of the reported results. We also encourage short submissions. These
can either cover research or describe important problems (new or old).

Submission Format:

The only accepted format for submitted papers is Adobe PDF. Submissions should
be anonymous, without authors or an acknowledgement section; self-citations
should appear in third person. Submissions should follow the two-column format
of EMNLP proceedings, and long papers should not exceed eight (8) pages, short
papers should not exceed four (4) pages, with unlimited additional pages for
references.  We strongly recommend the use of the LaTeX style files or
Microsoft Word document template on the ACL conference website. We reserve the
right to reject submissions that do not conform to these styles, including
font size restrictions.

Anonymity Period:

Submissions that violate any of ACL's submission and citation policies will be
rejected without review. Most importantly, the policies refer to the anonymity
period, which begins one month before the 2019 submission deadline and ends at
time of notification (or withdrawal).

Shared Task:

This year, SIGMORPHON is hosting the 4th SIGMORPHON Shared Task, this year
with a focus in cross-lingual training and contextual lemmatization and
analysis.
