Subject: 17th SIGMORPHON Workshop on Computational Research in Phonetics, Phonology, and Morphology

 
Full Title: 17th SIGMORPHON Workshop on Computational Research in Phonetics, Phonology, and Morphology 
Short Title: SIGMORPHON 

Date: 09-Jul-2020 - 09-Jul-2020
Location: Seattle, Washington, USA 
Contact Person: Garrett Nicolai
Meeting Email: gnicolai at mail.ubc.ca
Web Site: https://sigmorphon.github.io/workshops/2020/ 

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

Call Deadline: 31-Mar-2020 

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.


Call for Papers:

Papers will be on substantial, original, and unpublished research on these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

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.

Paper Submission:

Content: There are two categories of papers: Long and short papers. 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. Short submissions 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 ACL proceedings, and long papers should not
exceed eight (8) pages, short papers should not exceed four (4) pages. One
additional page is allowed for the References section in both cases. However,
all material other than the bibliography must fall within the first 8/4 pages!
We strongly recommend the use of the LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word
document template on the ACL conference web site. We reserve the right to
reject submissions that do not conform to these styles, including font size
restrictions.

IMPORTANT: New submission guidelines

ACL 2020 adopts ACL’s new policies for submission, review, and citation.
Submissions that violate any of these policies will be rejected without
review. Most importantly, the policies refer to the anonymity period, which
begins one month before the SIGMORPHON 2020 deadline and ends at time of
notification (or withdrawal).

Online submission is available at: 

https://www.softconf.com/acl2020/SIGMORPHON/

Organizers:

Garrett Nicolai, UBC
Kyle Gorman, CUNY / Google
Ryan Cotterell, University of Cambridge

Invited Speakers:

SIGMORPHON is welcomes the following invited speakers to the workshop:

* Jane Chandlee, Haverford College
* Bruce Hayes, UCLA
* Rob Malouf, San Diego State University

Shared Tasks: Grapheme-to-Phoneme Conversion and Unsupervised Paradigm
Induction

SIGMORPHON will host two shared tasks, one on grapheme-to-phoneme conversion
and one on unsupervised induction of morphological paradigms.
