Meeting Description:

ACL 2010
Uppsala, Sweden
July 15

Eleventh Meeting of the ACL Special Interest Group in Computational Morphology,
Phonology and Phonetics

http://phonology.cogsci.udel.edu/sigmorphon2010/

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in
applying computational techniques to problems in morphology, phonology, and
phonetics. Papers will be on substantial, original, and unpublished research on
these topics, potentially including strong work in progress. 

2nd Call for Papers:

Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to) the following as they relate
to the areas of the workshop:

-Unsupervised, semi-supervised or machine learning of linguistic knowledge
-New formalisms, computational treatments, or probabilistic models of existing
linguistic formalisms
-Models of psycholinguistic, experimental results
-Models of historical sound change
-Morpheme identification and word segmentation
-Finite-state methods
-Corpus linguistics
-Machine transliteration and back-transliteration
-Speech technologies relating to phonetics or phonology
-Speech science (both production and comprehension)
-Analysis or exploitation of multilingual, multi-dialectal, or diachronic data
-Integration of morphology, phonology, or phonetics with other NLP tasks
-Tools and resources

One of the missions of SIGMORPHON is to encourage interaction between work in
computational linguistics and work in theoretical phonetics, phonology and
morphology, and to ensure that each of these fields profits from the
interaction. Our recent meetings have been successful in this regard, and we
hope to see this continue in 2010.  Many mainstream linguists studying
phonetics, phonology and morphology are employing computational tools and models
that are of considerable interest to computational linguists. Similarly, models
and tools developed by and for computational linguists may be of interest to
theoretical linguists working in these areas.  This workshop provides a forum
for these researchers to interact and become exposed to each others' ideas and
research.

This workshop will be the eleventh meeting of SIGMORPHON (formerly called
SIGPHON). We will hold a full-day workshop consisting of approximately 12
half-hour presentations.

The workshop will be held on July 15, immediately after the ACL 2010 meetings at
Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden.

The workshop website is: http://phonology.cogsci.udel.edu/sigmorphon2010/

Important Dates:

Submission Deadline: April 25, 2010, 23:59 EDT
Notification: May 19, 2010
Camera-ready deadline: June 2, 2010
Workshop: July 15 or 16, 2010

Paper Submission:

Content: 

Papers should be original, topical, and clear. Completed work is preferable to
intended work, but in any event the paper should clearly indicate the state of
completion of the reported results. Authors are encouraged to study the actual
form used by reviewers
(http://phonology.cogsci.udel.edu/sigmorphon2010/review-form.html) to assess papers.

Submission Format: 

The only accepted format for submitted papers is Adobe PDF. Submissions should
follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings, and should not exceed eight (8)
pages. One additional page is allowed for the References section.  Thus, your
PDF file may be 9 pages. However, all material other than the bibliography must
fall within the first 8 pages! We strongly recommend the use of the LaTeX style
files or Microsoft Word document template that is available on the ACL
conference web site (http://acl2010.org/authors.html).  We reserve the right to
reject submissions that do not conform to these styles, including font size
restrictions.

Anonymous Review: 

Reviewing of papers will be double-blind. Therefore, 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 (1991) previously showed ...''.
Papers that do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review.

Conflicts of Interest: 

Authors should mark on the submission page any program committee member with
whom they have a conflict of interest, such as a recent collaborator, a recent
colleague at the same institution, or a close personal friend.

Double Submitting: 

Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or publications
must provide this information on the START online submission page. Papers may
not be submitted to SIGMORPHON 2010 if they are currently or will be submitted
to other meetings or publications and that other meeting or publication
prohibits multiple submissions. If SIGMORPHON 2010 accepts a paper, authors must
notify the program chairs immediately indicating which meeting they choose for
presentation of their work. SIGMORPHON 2010 cannot accept for publication or
presentation work that will be (or has been) published elsewhere.

Submission Procedure: 

Authors must submit papers online here: 

https://www.softconf.com/acl2010/SIGMORPHON

The submission deadline is Sunday April 25, 2010 23:59 EDT. Papers submitted
after the deadline will not be reviewed.

Organizers:

Jeffrey Heinz (University of Delaware)
Lynne Cahill (University of Brighton)
Richard Wicentowski (Swarthmore College)

Program Committee:

This year's program committee consists of the following individuals:

Adam Albright, MIT
Jason Eisner, Johns Hopkins University
Mark Ellison, University of Western Australia
Sharon Goldwater, University of Edinburgh
Grzegorz Kondrak, University of Alberta
Kimmo Koskenniemi, University of Helskinki
Karen Livescu, Toyota Technological Institute and University of Chicago
Mike Maxwell, University of Maryland
Jason Riggle, University of Chicago
Shuly Wintner, University of Haifa

The program chairs may invite additional reviewers as necessary to obtain
relevant expertise and avoid conflicts of interest.

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to:

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
