NAACL HLT 2012

NAACL is pleased to announce the North American Chapter of the  
Association for
Computational Linguistics - Human Language Technologies (NAACL HLT)  
2012 conference.
The conference covers a broad spectrum of disciplines working towards  
enabling
intelligent systems to interact with humans using natural language,  
and towards
enhancing human-human communication through services such as speech  
recognition,
automatic translation, information retrieval, text summarization, and  
information
extraction. NAACL HLT 2012 will feature long papers, short papers,  
demonstrations,
and a doctoral consortium, as well as associated tutorials and  
workshops.

The conference invites the submission of long and short papers on  
substantial,
original, and unpublished research in all aspects of automated  
language processing.
The short paper format may also be appropriate for a small, focused  
contribution, a
work in progress, a negative result, an opinion piece or an  
interesting application
nugget.

Topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

	* Phonology and Morphology, Word Segmentation
	* Syntactic Tagging and Chunking
	* Syntax and Parsing
	* Semantics
	* Discourse, Dialogue, and Pragmatics
	* Summarization and Generation
	* Machine Learning for Language Processing: theory, methods and  
algorithms
	* Machine Translation
	* Information Retrieval and Question Answering
	* Information Extraction
	* Spoken Language Processing (e.g., Spoken Term Detection, Analysis,  
Recognition, Synthesis, Understanding, Dialogue Systems)
	* End-to-end Language Processing Systems
	* Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining
	* Document Categorization / Topic Clustering
	* Social Media Analysis and Processing
	* Language Resources, Novel Evaluation Methods

Submission

Long papers: NAACL HLT 2012 submissions must describe substantial,  
original,
completed and unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete  
evaluation and
analysis should be included. The long paper deadline is January 6,  
2012 by 11:59PM
Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8). Submissions will be judged on  
appropriateness,
clarity, originality/innovativeness, correctness/soundness, meaningful  
comparison,
thoroughness, significance, contributions to research resources, and  
replicability.
Each submission will be reviewed by at least three program committee  
members.

Long papers may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, plus two  
extra pages
for references; final versions should take into account reviewers’  
comments.
Papers will be presented orally or as a poster presentation 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  
on the quality
of the work. There will be no distinction in the proceedings between  
long papers
presented orally and those presented as poster presentations.

Short papers: NAACL HLT 2012 also solicits short papers. Short paper  
submissions
must describe original and unpublished work. The short paper deadline  
this year is
also January 6, 2012 by 11:59PM Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8).  
Characteristics of
past short papers include:

	* A small, focused contribution
	* Work in progress
	* A negative result
	* An opinion piece
	* An interesting application nugget

Short papers will be presented in one or more oral or poster sessions,  
and will be
given four (4) pages including references in the proceedings. 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 those
presented as poster presentations. Each short paper submission will be  
reviewed by
at least two program committee members.

Submission Deadline: The deadline for both long and short papers is  
January 6, 2012
by 11:59PM Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8).

Electronic Submission: Submission is electronic using the Softconf  
submission
software; instructions will be posted at http://naaclhtl2012.org.

Format: Long paper submissions should follow the two-column format of  
NAACL HLT 2012
proceedings without exceeding eight (8) pages of content plus two  
extra pages for
references. Short paper submissions should also follow the two-column  
format of
NAACL HLT 2012 proceedings, and should not exceed four (4) pages  
including
references. We strongly recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or  
Microsoft Word
style files tailored for this year's conference, which are available  
on the
conference website under http://naaclhlt2012.org/author.html.  
Submissions must
conform to the official style guidelines, which are contained in the  
style files,
and they must be electronic in PDF.

As the reviewing will be blind, the paper must not include the  
authors' names and
affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's  
identity, e.g.,
"We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...” must be avoided. Instead, use  
citations
such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...” Papers that do not  
conform to
these requirements will be rejected without review. In addition,  
please do not post
your submissions on the web until after the review process is complete.

Multiple-submission policy: Papers that have been or will be submitted  
to other
meetings or publications must indicate this at submission time.  
Authors of papers
accepted for presentation at NAACL HLT 2012 must notify the program  
chairs by March
28, 2012 as to whether the paper will be presented. All accepted  
papers must be
presented at the conference to appear in the proceedings. We will not  
accept for
publication or presentation papers that overlap significantly in  
content or results
with papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere.

Authors submitting more than one paper to NAACL HLT must ensure that  
submissions
do not overlap significantly (> 50%) with each other in content or  
results. Authors
should not submit short and long versions of papers with substantial  
overlap in
their original contributions.

NEW INFORMATION: Because of concerns of reviewer overload, the program  
committees
for ACL 2012 and NAACL 2012, along with the ACL Executive Board and  
NAACL Executive
Board have decided to not allow double submission to each other’s  
conferences.
Submissions will be compared across these two conferences; papers with  
substantial
overlap in their technical contributions that are submitted to both  
ACL 2012 and
NAACL 2012 will be rejected without review at the discretion of the  
program
committees.
