ACL-2001 Final Call For Papers
39th Annual Meeting of the Association for
Computational Linguistics
6 - 11 July, 2001
Toulouse, France
http://www.irit.fr/ACTIVITES/EQ_ILPL/aclWeb/acl2001.html
General Conference Chair: Bonnie Webber (Univ. of Edinburgh, UK)
Program Co-Chairs: Norbert Reithinger (DFKI, Saarbruecken, Germany)
Giorgio Satta (Univ. of Padua, Italy)
Local Organization Chair: Patrick Saint-Dizier (IRIT, Toulouse, France)
The Association for Computational Linguistics invites the submission of
papers for its 39th Annual Meeting, which this year is jointly hosted
with the European Chapter. Papers are invited on substantial, original,
and unpublished research on all aspects of computational linguistics,
including, but not limited to: pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax
and the lexicon; phonetics, phonology and morphology; interpreting and
generating spoken and written language; linguistic, mathematical and
psychological models of language; language-oriented information
retrieval and information extraction; corpus-based language modeling;
multi-lingual processing, machine translation and translation aids;
natural language interfaces and dialogue systems; approaches to
coordinating the linguistic with other modalities in multi-media
systems; message and narrative understanding systems; tools and
resources; and evaluation of systems.
Requirements
------------
Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed
work rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state
of completion of the reported results. Wherever appropriate, concrete
evaluation results should be included. A paper accepted for
presentation at the ACL Meeting cannot be presented or have been
presented at any other meeting with publicly available published
proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences must
indicate this on the title page. (See Submission Format below.)
Reviewing
---------
The reviewing of the papers will be blind. Reviewing will be managed by
the international Conference Program Committee consisting of the
following nine Area Chairs, each assisted by a team of reviewers.
Jennifer Chu-Carroll (Lucent Technologies Bell Labs, USA)
Joshua Goodman (Microsoft Research, USA)
Pierre Isabelle (Xerox Research Centre Europe, France)
Adam Kilgarriff (ITRI, University of Brighton, UK)
Lillian Lee (Cornell University, USA)
Adwait Ratnaparkhi (IBM TJ Watson Research Center, USA)
Ehud Reiter (University of Aberdeen, UK)
James Rogers (Earlham College, USA)
David Weir (University of Sussex, UK)
Final decisions on the technical program will be made by the Conference
Program Committee. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three
reviewers.
Submission Format
-----------------
Papers must be submitted in hard copy. Submissions should follow the
two-column format of ACL proceedings and should not exceed eight (8)
pages, including references. We strongly recommend the use of ACL LaTeX
style files or Microsoft Word Style files tailored for this year's
conference. They are available from the ACL-2001 program committee
Web-site at http://acl2001.dfki.de/style/. These style files allow for a
graceful transition to the style required for publication. A
description of the format is also available in case you are unable to
use these style files directly.
As reviewing will be blind, a separate identification page will be
required. The identification page should include the paper title, the
paper ID code generated upon paper registration (see below), authors'
names, affiliations, and email addresses, up to 5 keywords specifying
the subject area, and a short summary (up to 5 lines). The
identification page should also specify whether the paper is under
consideration for other conferences.
The paper should not include the authors' names and
affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's
identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", should be
avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith,
1991) ...".
Papers that do not conform to the requirements above are subject to be
rejected without review.
Submission Procedure
--------------------
1) Submission notification: You must first register your submission by
January 26, 2001. This can be done by filling out an electronic form
directly at http://www.dfki.de/cgi-bin/acl2001/submission.cgi or via
http://acl2001.dfki.de/. The form requires a specification of the
title and authors of the paper, as well as a preliminary abstract and
list of keywords. Submitting the form will return to you via email a
paper ID code which must appear on your submission. Please use the
paper ID code in all correspondences with the program committee
co-chairs.
Do not re-submit your paper if you have already received an ID! If you
want to change any information in your submission notification, please
mail the PC co-chairs at acl2001 at dfki.de and include your paper ID in
the subject of the mail.
If you have any difficulty using the electronic registration form,
please send email to the PC co-chairs at acl2001 at dfki.de with all of the
title page information plus the authors' names and affiliations.
2) Paper submission: Submissions must be received by February 2, 2001.
Late submissions (those arriving after February 2) will be returned
without review. The Program Committee is not responsible for postal
delays or other mailing problems. Six (6) paper copies (printed on both
sides of the page if possible) including the title page should be
submitted to the following address:
ACL-2001 Submission
Norbert Reithinger
DFKI GmbH
Stuhlsatzenhausweg 3
D-66123 Saarbruecken
Germany
Two of the six copies must have the identification page attached. In
addition, strictly for the purposes of partially-automated routing of
papers to area chairs and reviewers, authors should send an electronic
version of the paper (without the identification page) to
acl2001-submissions at dfki.de. Please include the paper ID in the
subject line of your email. Latex, postscript, pdf, Microsoft word and
plain text are all acceptable formats for the electronic version. The
electronic version should also be received by February 2nd, 2001. Please
note that as the electronic version will only be used to assist the PC
in distributing the papers to appropriate reviewers, this supplementary
electronic version in no way replaces the required hardcopy
submissions. If you have any difficulty in submitting the electronic
version, please send mail to the PC co-chairs at acl2001 at dfki.de.
Acknowledgment of hardcopy submission will be emailed soon after
receipt. Notification of acceptance will be sent to authors (by email)
on or after April, 12th. Detailed formatting guidelines for the
preparation of the final camera-ready copy will be provided to authors
with their acceptance notice. Authors of accepted papers will have to
submit a signed copyright release statement along with the final
camera-ready papers.
Deadlines
---------
Paper registration deadline: January 26th, 2001
Paper submissions deadline: February 2nd, 2001
Notification of acceptance: April 12th, 2001
Camera ready papers due: May 12th, 2001

Submission Questions
--------------------
Authors unable to comply with the above submission procedure should
contact the program committee co-chairs at acl2001 at dfki.de
sufficiently ahead of the submission deadline so that alternate
arrangements can be made.
Mentoring Service
-----------------
ACL 2001 is organizing a mentoring (coaching) service for authors from
regions of the world where English is not the language of scientific
exchange. Many authors from these regions, although able to read the
scientific literature in English, have little or no experience in
writing papers in English for conferences such as the ACL meetings.
They may also have some trouble with the style of the presentation of
the material that is expected for ACL.
The service will be arranged as follows. A set of potential mentors
will be identified by Aravind Joshi, who has agreed to organize this
service for ACL 2001. An author who would like to take advantage of
this service must send a draft of his/her paper to
Aravind K. Joshi
Room 555 Moore
Department of Computer and Information Science
200 South 33rd Street
University of Pennsylvania
Philadelphia PA 19104-6389
USA
fax: +1 215 898 0587
The author must send one (1) copy of the paper (hard copy by regular
mail, courier service, or fax) by no later than December 20, 2000. The
author should try to make the draft as complete as possible in order to
get the best advice. An appropriate mentor will be assigned to each
paper and the mentor will get back to the author at least two weeks
before the deadline for the submission to ACL 2001 program committee.
Please note that this service is for the benefit of the authors as
described above. It is not a general mentoring service for authors to
improve their papers.
If you have any questions about this service please feel free to send
a message to Aravind Joshi (joshi at linc.cis.upenn.edu).
