Meeting Description:

The 2018 NAACL Student Research Workshop (SRW) will be held in conjunction
with NAACL HLT 2018 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The SRW gives student

opportunity to present their work and receive constructive feedback and
mentorship by experienced members of the ACL community.

The SRW workshop will be held in conjunction with NAACL HLT 2018 in New
Orleans, Louisiana.  


Call for Papers:

Main conference: June 2-4, 2018 
Student Research Workshop Paper Submission Deadline: March 02, 2018 (11:59pm
PST)   

The Student Research Workshop (SRW) provides a venue for student researchers
to present their work in computational linguistics and natural language
processing.  Students receive feedback from the general conference audience as
well as from mentors specifically assigned according to the topic of their
work.  

We invite papers in two different categories:  

- Thesis Proposals: This category is appropriate for advanced students who
have decided on a thesis topic and wish to get feedback on their proposal and
broader ideas for their continuing work.  
- Research Papers: Papers in this category can describe completed work, or
work in progress with preliminary results. For these papers, the first author
must be a current graduate or undergraduate student.

Topics of interest for the SRW are the same as NAACL main conference. See the
list of topics at http://naacl2018.org/call_for_paper.html.  
 
Benefits of Participation:

- All accepted papers will be presented in the main conference poster session,
giving students an opportunity to interact with and present their work to a
large and diverse audience, including top researchers in the field.  
- All accepted thesis proposals will be presented during a session at the main
conference, giving students an opportunity to receive feedback from assigned
mentors and other researchers.  
- All accepted papers will be published in the NAACL 2018 SRW Proceedings.  
- Each participant is also assigned a mentor---an experienced researcher---who
can provide valuable advice on the submission during the pre-submission period
and mentoring during the conference.  
 
Important Dates:

- Submission for mentoring deadline: January 15, 2018 
- Papers submission deadline: March 02, 2018   
- Acceptance notification deadline: April 02, 2018.  
- Camera-ready papers due: April 16, 2018. 

All deadlines are calculated at 11:59 pm (PST/GMT -8 hours)  
 
Submission Requirements: 

All papers should follow the two-column format of the NAACL HLT 2018
proceedings (available here http://naacl.org/naacl-pubs/). All papers will
have a maximum limit of 6 pages for content, with unlimited additional pages
for references. Papers which do not conform to these specifications will be
rejected without review. Submissions must conform to the specifications of
NAACL HLT 2018 call for papers regarding multiple submissions and preparing
papers for the double-blind review process.
