Submissions should follow the new ACL Author Guidelines and policies for
submission, review and citation, and be anonymised for double blind reviewing.
ACL 2018 offers both LaTeX style files and Microsoft Word templates  Papers
should be submitted electronically through the START conference management
system.

Three kinds of papers can be submitted:

- Long papers are most appropriate for presenting substantial research results
and must not exceed eight (8) pages of content, with up to two additional
pages for references.

- Short papers are more appropriate for presenting an ongoing research effort
and must not exceed four (4) pages, with up to one extra page for references.

- Demo papers should be no more than two (2) pages in length, including
references, and should describe implemented systems which are of relevance to
the NLG community. Authors of demo papers should be willing to present a demo
of their system during INLG 2018.

All accepted papers will be published in the INLG 2018 proceedings and
included in the ACL anthology. A paper accepted for presentation at INLG 2018
must not have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available
proceedings. Dual submission to other conferences is permitted, provided that
authors clearly indicate this in the ''Acknowledgements'' section of the paper
when submitted. If the paper is accepted at both venues, the authors will need
to choose which venue to present at, since they can not present the same paper
twice.
