Meeting Description:

UPDATE: Due to COVID-19, EMNLP 2020 has moved entirely to an online format and
the conference dates have moved to one week later.

The 2020 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing will
be held in the Dominican Republic.

The 2020 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP
2020) invites the submission of long and short papers on substantial,
original, and unpublished research in empirical methods for Natural Language
Processing. As in recent years, some of the presentations at the conference
will be for papers accepted by the Transactions of the ACL (TACL) and
Computational Linguistics (CL) journals.

- Dialogue and Interactive Systems
- Discourse and Pragmatics
- Generation
- Information Extraction
- Information Retrieval and Text Mining
- Interpretability and Analysis of Models for NLP
- Language Grounding to Vision, Robotics and Beyond
- Linguistic Theories, Cognitive Modeling and Psycholinguistics
- Machine Learning for NLP
- Machine Translation and Multilinguality
- NLP Applications
- Phonology, Morphology and Word Segmentation
- Question Answering
- Resources and Evaluation
- Semantics: Lexical, Sentence level, Textual Inference and Other areas
- Sentiment Analysis, Stylistic Analysis, and Argument Mining
- Speech and Multimodality
- Summarization
- Syntax: Tagging, Chunking and Parsing

Paper Submission Information:
Long Papers:
Long paper submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and
unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis
should be included. Review forms will be made available prior to the
deadlines.

Long papers may consist of up to 8 pages of content, plus unlimited pages for
references; final versions of long papers will be given one additional page of
content (up to 9 pages) so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account.

Long papers will be presented orally or as posters as determined by the
program committee. The decisions as to which papers will be presented orally
and which as poster presentations will be based on the nature rather than the
quality of the work. There will be no distinction in the proceedings between
long papers presented orally and as posters.

Short Papers:
Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished work. Please
note that a short paper is not a shortened long paper. Instead short papers
should have a point that can be made in a few pages. Some kinds of short
papers are:
- A small, focused contribution
- A negative result
- An opinion piece
- An interesting application nugget

Short papers may consist of up to 4 pages of content, plus unlimited
references. Upon acceptance, short papers will be given 5 content pages in the
proceedings. Authors are encouraged to use this additional page to address
reviewers’ comments in their final versions.

Short papers will be presented orally or as posters as determined by the
program committee. While short papers will be distinguished from long papers
in the proceedings, there will be no distinction in the proceedings between
short papers presented orally and as posters.

Submission is electronic, using the Softconf START conference management
system (https://www.softconf.com/emnlp2020/papers/). Both long and short
papers must follow the EMNLP 2020 two-column format, using the supplied
official style sheets, available on the website.
