Call Deadline: 13-Jul-2018 

Meeting Description:

The Second workshop on Universal Dependencies is co-located with EMNLP 2018 in
Brussels, Belgium.

Universal Dependencies (UD) is a framework for cross-linguistically consistent
treebank annotation that has so far been applied to over 60 languages.

The framework is aiming to capture similarities as well as idiosyncracies
among typologically different languages (e.g., morphologically rich languages,
pro-drop languages, and languages featuring clitic doubling). The goal in
developing UD was not only to support comparative evaluation and cross-lingual
learning but also to facilitate multilingual natural language processing and
enable comparative linguistic studies.

Since the release of the first guidelines in October 2014, and the subsequent
release of the first 10 treebanks, we have seen rapid growth towards a
collection of over 100 treebanks.


Call for Papers:

Second workshop on Universal Dependencies, October 31 or November 1, 2018
(Brussels, Belgium)
Website: http://universaldependencies.org/udw18/
Submission deadline: July 13, 2018

We invite papers on all topics relevant to UD, including but not limited to:

- Theoretical foundations and universal guidelines
- Linguistic analysis of specific languages and/or constructions
- language typology and linguistic universals
- treebank annotation, conversion and validation
- Word segmentation, morphological tagging and syntactic parsing
- Downstream applications in natural language processing

Priority will be given to papers that adopt a cross-lingual perspective.

Submission Information:

We solicit two types of papers: regular workshop papers and cross-submissions.
Papers will be presented as oral presentations or posters, but only regular
workshop papers will be included in the proceedings, where no distinction will
be made on the basis of mode of presentation.

The regular workshop papers can be long papers (maximum length of eight (8)
pages of content) as well as short papers (maximum length of four (4) pages of
content), and should report substantially original research. Reviews will be
double-blind.

In addition to unpublished work, in the spirit of promoting discussion in the
UD community, we also solicit papers on related topics that have already
appeared elsewhere. The selection of these papers will solely be determined by
the organizing committee.

Important: New Submission Guidelines
