Computational Linguistics

2. Paper Sessions
2.1. Topics of Interest
Papers are invited on substantial, original, and unpublished research
on all aspects of computational linguistics, including, but not
limited to: pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax and the lexicon;
phonetics, phonology and morphology; interpreting and generating
spoken and written language; linguistic, mathematical and
psychological models of language; language-oriented information
retrieval and information extraction; corpus-based language modeling;
machine translation and translation aids; natural language interfaces
and dialogue systems; approaches to coordinating the linguistic with
other modalities in multi-media systems; message and narrative
understanding systems.
2.2. Requirements
Papers should describe original work. They should emphasize completed
work rather than intended work and they should indicate clearly the
state of completion of the reported results. Wherever appropriate,
concrete evaluation results should be included. A paper accepted for
presentation at the EACL Meeting cannot be presented or have been
presented at any other meeting with publicly available published
proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences must
reflect this fact on the title page.
2.3. Format for Submission
Authors should submit preliminary versions of their papers for review,
not to exceed 3200 words (exclusive of references). Papers should be
headed by a title page containing the paper ID code (see below),
title, a short (5 line) summary, up to five keywords specifying the
subject area, the word count (excluding figures and bibliography) and
a notice of multiple submission, if required. Since reviewing will be
`blind', the title page of the paper should omit author names and
addresses. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the authors'
identity (e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) . . . ") should be
avoided. Instead, use references of the form "Smith previously showed
(1991) . . . " Care should be taken to avoid obvious giveaways in the
bibliography such as listings for unpublished in-house technical
reports. Papers outside the specified length and/or without an ID code
are liable to rejection without review.
To identify each paper, an ID code must be acquired by filing an
electronic paper registration form
(http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/eacl99/register.html): on successful
completion of this form an ID code will be sent to the designated
author by e-mail.
To assist in the refereeing process, we would be very grateful if
authors prepare a web-browsable (e.g. HTML, PostScript, PDF)
electronic version of their papers. We understand that this may not be
possible in all cases, but request that it be prepared if at all
possible. To preserve anonymity, do not include a pointer to this with
your paper submission: We will request a URL for your electronic
version in the email acknowledgement of receipt message. Also please
note that we will not be downloading copies from this URL, so it
should remain valid through the refereeing process, i.e. until 10
March 1999. Be aware that the paper copy is the definitive copy, and
changes should not be made to the electronic copy after submission on
paper.
We strongly recommend the use of ACL-standard LaTex (plus bibstyle and
trivial example) or Word style files for the preparation of
submissions. These styles include a place for the required information
such as ID code and word count, and allow for a graceful transition to
the style required for publication. See
http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/eacl99/style/ for templates.
If you cannot use the ACL-standard styles directly, a description of
the required format is at
http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/eacl99/style/substyle.html. If you cannot
access this web page, send email to eacl99 at cogsci.ed.ac.uk with
subject SUBSTYLE for an automatic reply.
2.4. Submission Procedure
Four (4) paper copies of each paper (printed on both sides of the page
if possible) should be submitted to the following address:
EACL Programme Committee
HCRC
2 Buccleuch Place
Edinburgh EH8 9LW
Scotland, UK
Enquiries to the Programme Committee by email at
eacl99 at cogsci.ed.ac.uk.
2.5. Schedule
Submissions must be received by 18 January 1999. Late submissions
(those arriving on or after 19 January 1999) will be returned
unopened. Acknowledgements will be emailed soon after receipt.
Notification of acceptance will be sent to authors (by email) on 10
March 1999. Camera-ready copies of final papers prepared in a
double-column format, preferably using a laser printer, must be
received by 19 April 1999, along with a signed copyright release
statement. Detailed formatting guidelines will be provided to authors
with their acceptance notice. The paper sessions, including student
papers, will take place on 9--11 June 1999.
2.6. Programme Committee
Chair: Henry S. Thompson, University of Edinburgh
co-Chair: Alex Lascarides, University of Edinburgh
Area Chairs: John Carroll, University of Sussex; Robert Gaizauskas,
University of Sheffield; Jan Hajic, Charles University; Mats Rooth,
University of Stuttgart; Paul Taylor, University of Edinburgh; Marilyn
Walker, ATT Research Labs.
Poster session chair: Giorgio Satta, University of Padua
The members in each area of the Programme Committee will be listed in
the Proceedings.
3. Poster and Demo Sessions
The meeting will include a Poster Session and a Demo Session. Posters
should present work in progress, project status reports, unevaluated
results or system summaries (with or without demos). Space for A1
posters is reserved at the session and there will be 2 pages in the
proceedings allocated to describe the work shown in the poster.
We also encourage the submission of software demos presenting system
overviews. Developers should outline the design of their system and
provide sufficient details to allow the evaluation of its validity,
quality, and relevance to computational linguistics. Pointers to web
sites running the demo preview will also be helpful.
For both sessions, four (4) paper copies of a two (2) page abstract
not exceeding 800 words (exclusive of references) should be submitted
by 18 January 1999 to the posters/demos chair:
Giorgio Satta
Universita di Padova
Dipartimento di Elettronica e Informatica
via Gradenigo 6/A
35131 Padova
Italy
Phone: +39 (0)49 827-7831
Fax: +39 (0)49 827-7826
Email: satta at dei.unipd.it
Both submissions should include the following information on the first
page: paper title and author(s)' name(s); address, telephone/fax
numbers and email of contact author. Submission type ("poster
submission" or "demo submission") must be clearly indicated on the
first page.
Demo submissions should also clearly indicate if any computer
equipment is expected to be provided by the local organizer. If so,
please specify desired hardware platform, hard disk and memory
capacity, operating system and other software needed in order to run
the demo. Also mention name and contact information of systems
operations specialist. If you are bringing your own laptop, you should
instead request a video projector if you need one, providing details
about PC type, screen resolution, etc.
Submissions arriving on or after 19 January 1999 will be returned
unopened. Acknowledgements will be emailed soon after receipt.
Notification of acceptance will be sent to authors by email on 10
March 1999. Camera-ready copies of poster papers must be received at
the EACL Programme Committee address in Edinburgh by 19 April 1999,
along with a signed copyright release statement. Detailed formatting
guidelines will be provided to authors along with the acceptance
notice.
4. Student Sessions
There will again be special Student Sessions organized by a committee
of EACL graduate student members. EACL student members are invited to
submit short papers on any of the topics listed above. The papers will
be reviewed by a committee of students and faculty members for
presentation in workshop-style sessions and publication in a special
section of the conference proceedings. The call for papers is now
available at http://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/eacl99-student/.
5. Tutorials
The meeting will include a programme of tutorials on Tuesday June 8,
immediately preceding, and at the same venue as the conference.
Each tutorial should be well-focused so that its core content can be
covered in a three hour slot (including a half-hour break). In
exceptional cases, 6-hour tutorials are possible as well.
Proposals for tutorials should contain:
* A title and brief description of the tutorial topic.
* The names, postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of
the tutorial speakers, with brief cv.
* Any special support requirements (e.g. PC, projector)
Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII text
as soon as possible, but no later than 18 December 1998 to the
tutorial coordinator:
