We invite paper submissions in two distinct tracks:

+ regular papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research,
  including empirical evaluation results, where appropriate; and

  negative results, surveys, or opinion pieces.

Papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be included in

the conference, a selection of papers in extended and revised form will
be published as a special issue of the Journal of Language Modeling.
