[HPSG-L] 2nd Call for papers for the Workshop on Computational Linguistics on East Asian Languages

[Elodie Winckel]

*A one-day workshop on Computational Linguistics on East Asian 
Languages* will be held as an online event on 31 July 2022, in 
conjunction with the 29th International Conference on Head-driven Phrase 
Structure Grammar (29-30 July 2022).

The aim of the workshop is to promote interdisciplinary and 
cross-language discussion on approaches to linguistic analyses using 
computational techniques (broadly construed), with a focus on East Asian 
languages. We strongly encourage researchers from outside the HPSG 
framework to submit.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to syntactic/semantic 
parsing, cognitive modelling with computational models, development of 
language resources with annotations beyond the word level (treebanks, 
propbanks, discourse annotations, etc.), and applications of large-scale 
corpus data and/or sophisticated machine learning techniques to 
addressing questions in linguistic theory.

*Workshop Format: *
The workshop on Computational Linguistics on East Asian languages will 
take place following the two-day main HPSG 2022 conference. 
Presentations will be pre-recorded and pre-loaded on the conference 
website, and the discussion period will be online.

*Invited speaker:*
Koji Mineshima (Keio University)

*Submissions:* We welcome two types of submissions for the workshop:
- Long papers (4-page abstract + 1 page data, figures & references; 20 
minute pre-recorded presentation + 15 minute online discussion)
- Short papers (2-page abstract + 1 page data, figures & references; 10 
minute pre-recorded presentation + 10 minute online discussion)

Please note that abstracts submitted for the “long paper” track can be 
accepted as “short papers” (and vice versa) and that the Program 
Committee may choose to move a paper submitted to the workshop to the 
main conference (and vice versa), whenever such decisions seem 
appropriate. Only “long papers” will appear in the proceedings.
If you intend to present at the workshop, please choose the option 
Computational Linguistics Workshop as your Submission Type.

All abstracts should be submitted in PDF format via: 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hpsg22

All abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least two reviewers. 
The submissions should not include the authors' names, and authors are 
asked to avoid self-references. Please direct any questions to the 
Program Committee Chair: Elodie Winckel (hpsg22 at easychair.org).

*Workshop organizer: *
Yusuke Kubota (National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics)

*Important dates:*
Abstract submission deadline: March 16th 2022 (anywhere on Earth)
Notifications of acceptance: May 2nd 2022
Main Conference: July 29th-30th 2022
Workshop on Computational Linguistics on East Asian Languages : July 
31st 2022

*Publication:*
A call for contributions to the proceedings will be issued after the 
conference. The papers will be published either at the online 
proceedings platform at CSLI together with the main conference 
proceedings or in a separate collective volume.
