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substantial, original, and unpublished research in all aspects of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original, completed and unpublished work.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.
