Call Deadline: 17-Jul-2020 

Meeting Description:

SIGNLL invites submissions to the 24th Conference on Computational Natural
Language Learning (CoNLL 2020). CoNLL is a yearly conference organized by
SIGNLL (ACL's Special Interest Group on Natural Language Learning). This year,
CoNLL will be colocated with EMNLP 2020, and like EMNLP will be a fully
virtual conference. The main focus of CoNLL is on theoretically, cognitively
and scientifically motivated approaches to computational linguistics, rather
than on work driven by particular engineering applications. Such approaches
include:
 - Computational learning theory and other techniques for theoretical analysis
of machine learning models for NLP
 - Models of first, second and bilingual language acquisition by humans
 - Models of language evolution and change
 - Computational simulation and analysis of findings from psycholinguistic and
neurolinguistic experiments
 - Analysis and interpretation of NLP models, using methods inspired by
cognitive science or linguistics or other methods
 - Data resources, techniques and tools for scientifically-oriented research
in computational linguistics
 - Connections between computational models and formal languages or linguistic
theories
 - Linguistic typology and other multilingual work

Invited Speakers: 
 - Emmanuel Dupoux (Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales and Facebook
AI Research, Paris, France)
 - Kristina Toutanova (Google, Seattle, USA)


Second Call for Papers: 

***Please note the updated deadlines, listed below!***
 
We welcome work targeting any aspect of language, including:
- Speech and phonology
- Syntactic parsing
- Lexical, compositional and discourse semantics
- Dialogue and interactive language use
- Sociolinguistics 
- Multimodal and grounded language learning
 
Submitted papers must be anonymous and use the EMNLP 2020 template
(https://2020.emnlp.org/files/emnlp2020-templates.zip). Submitted papers may
consist of up to 8 pages of content plus unlimited space for references.
Authors of accepted papers will have an additional page to address reviewers’
comments in the camera-ready version (9 pages of content in total, excluding
references). Anonymized supplementary materials are allowed as an optional PDF
appendix, in line with EMNLP 2020 guidelines. Submission is electronic, using
the Softconf START conference management system.
 
CoNLL adheres to the ACL anonymity policy, as described in the EMNLP 2020 Call
for Papers (https://2020.emnlp.org/call-for-papers). Briefly, manuscripts
submitted to CoNLL cannot be posted to preprint websites such as arXiv or
advertised on social media after June 17.
 
Multiple submission policy: 
CoNLL 2020 will not consider any paper that is under review at the time of
submission, and submitted papers must not be submitted elsewhere during the
CoNLL 2020 review period. In addition, we will not consider any paper that
overlaps significantly in content or results with papers that will be (or have
been) published elsewhere. Authors submitting more than one paper to CoNLL
2020 must ensure that the submissions do not overlap significantly (>25%) with
each other in content or results. 
 
Important Dates: 
Anonymity period starts: June 17, 2020
Paper submission deadline: July 17, 2020
Notification of acceptance and end of anonymity period: September 18, 2020
Camera-ready due: October 9, 2020
Conference: November 19-20, 2020 (right after EMNLP 2020)
All deadlines are at 11:59pm UTC-12h (''anywhere on earth'').
 
CoNLL 2020 Chairs: 
- Raquel Fernández (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
- Tal Linzen (Johns Hopkins University, USA)
