Meeting Description:

STIL is the bi-annual Language Technology event supported by the Brazilian
Computer Society (SBC) and by the Brazilian Special Interest Group on Natural
Language Processing (CE-PLN).

In 2021, STIL will be held as an online event collocated with BRACIS 2021 (The
10th Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems), ENIAC 2021 (The 18th
National Meeting on Artificial and Computational Intelligence), and KDD-BR2021
(the 5th Brazilian Competition on Knowledge Discovery In Databases).

STIL will feature the following collocated events:
VII Workshop on Portuguese Description (JDP), and the
VII Student Workshop on Information and Human Language Technology (TILic).

The conference is multidisciplinary and covers a broad spectrum of disciplines
related to Human Language Technology, such as Linguistics, Computer Science,
Psycholinguistics, and Information Science. It aims at bringing together both
academic and industrial participants working on those areas.

Guidelines for paper submission: 

Language:
All papers submitted to STIL must be written in Portuguese, English, or
Spanish.

Length:
We accept submissions of long and short papers. Long papers should describe
complete work with significant results. Short papers may report work in
progress, negative results, opinion papers, or application/demo papers.

Long papers may have up to eight (8) pages of content (including tables and
pictures), additional pages of references, and presented orally. Short papers
should have up to four (4) pages of content, additional pages of references,
and will be presented as posters. Authors should also indicate whether they
accept their long paper to be reallocated as a poster should the reviewers
recommend.

Format:
Paper formatting must follow the SBC guidelines

Reviewing Process:
All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least two experts in the field.
The reviewing process will be double-blind and therefore papers should not
display any information regarding their authorship in the header or body of
the text.
Self-references that reveal the author’s identity, e.g., “As we previously
showed (Silva, 2005) ...”, must be avoided. Instead, authors should use “Silva
previously showed (Silva, 2005) ...”.

Submission Policy:
By submitting papers to STIL 2021, authors agree that at least one author will
register for the conference and present the paper in case of acceptance.
Furthermore, it is the conference policy that at least one of the authors of
accepted papers has to register before the deadline for sending the
camera-ready paper.
Accepted papers whose author(s) do not register before the camera-ready
deadline will not be included in the online proceedings.

Important Dates (all deadlines are 11:59 p.m. UTC-12:00 - anywhere on Earth!):
Beginning of submission period: June 10, 2021
Deadline for long and short paper submissions: August 9, 2021
Notification of acceptance: September 27, 2021
Camera-ready versions due: October 11, 2021

Submission System: 
Long and short papers should only be submitted in PDF files via the JEMS
system (https://jems.sbc.org.br/) by the deadline indicated above.

Program chairs: 
Evandro Eduardo Seron Ruiz (USP, Brazil)
Tiago Timponi Torrent (UFJF, Brazil)
