Meeting Description:

LAW-XVII will be the 17th annual meeting endorsed by the ACL Special
Interest Group for Annotation (SIGANN). It will take place in July
2023 at ACL in Toronto, Canada.

Linguistic annotation of natural language corpora is the backbone of
supervised methods in both statistical and neural natural language
processing. Annotated corpora are also a major supporting source of
information for unsupervised methods, multitask learning, and
evaluation of both NLP tools and theories about language within and
outside of linguistics. The LAW-XVII will provide a forum for
presentation and discussion of innovative research on all aspects of
linguistic annotation, including creation/evaluation of annotation
schemes, methods for automatic and manual annotation, use and
evaluation of annotation software and frameworks, representation of
linguistic data and annotations, semi-supervised “human in the loop”
methods of annotation, crowd-sourcing approaches, and more.

The LAW will also provide a forum for annotation researchers to work
towards standardization, best practices, and interoperability of
annotation information and software.

*Policies*
Submissions should report original and unpublished research on topics
of interest to the workshop. We also invite substantiated position
papers, in particular with regard to our special theme. Accepted
papers are expected to be presented at the workshop and will be
published in the workshop proceedings. They should emphasize obtained
results rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the
state of completion of the reported results.
A paper accepted for presentation at the workshop must not be or have
been presented at any other meeting with publicly available
proceedings.
Long/short paper submissions must use the official ACL style
templates. Long papers must not exceed eight (8) pages of content.
Short papers and demonstration papers must not exceed four (4) pages
of content. References do not count against these limits.

Papers can be submitted at https://softconf.com/acl2023/law/.
