3rd Pacific Northwest Regional NLP Workshop: NW-NLP 2014
========================================================

Call for Submissions and Participation
--------------------------------------

The third Pacific Northwest Regional Natural Language Processing
Workshop will be held on Thursday April 24, 2014 in Redmond, WA.
We welcome submissions of extended abstracts in all aspects of
natural language text and speech processing, computational linguistics,
and human language technologies.

As with past workshops, the goal of this one-day NW-NLP event is
to provide a less-formal setting in the Pacific Northwest to present
research ideas, make new acquaintances, and learn about the breadth
of exciting work currently being pursued in British Columbia, Oregon,
Washington, and the surrounding areas.

We encourage submissions of both completed and ongoing work. Accepted
submissions will be presented as either an oral presentation or a
poster. Students and less established researchers are especially
encouraged to submit their work. This workshop will provide a venue
for feedback on early-stage research.

Further information about the workshop is provided below. We look
forward to your submissions and participation.

Sincerely,

Ann Clifton (SFU), Yashar Mehdad (UBC) and Maryam Siahbani (SFU)
NW-NLP 2014 Co-Chairs

Submission and Reviewing Procedures
-----------------------------------

The NW-NLP Workshop will accept two types of submissions:

1. Extended abstracts. 2-page maximum. This option is intended for
submissions of original, completed or ongoing, unpublished research.
Submissions should make use of ACL style files.

2. Authors may also submit 'as is' any full conference paper that
has been (or that will soon be) submitted to some other conference
or workshop (e.g. ACL, LREC, COLING, etc.). Because these papers
will be peer-reviewed elsewhere, they will receive less detailed
review notes from the NW-NLP committee. In your submission, please
state where and when your paper was submitted/presented. If it was
already presented, state whether it was a poster, a short paper or
a long paper.

Please see http://nwnlp2014.cs.sfu.ca/ for additional submission
information.

Reviewing will not be double-blind; submissions should include
author information. A strong preference will be given to student
authored submissions. Please indicate, in your submitted .pdf file,
a preference for oral or poster formats and the status of the work
with respect to dual submission, as described for option (2) above.
