ACL 2000 Call For Papers
38th Annual Meeting of the Association for
Computational Linguistics
3--6 October, 2000
Hong Kong
The Association for Computational Linguistics invites the submission of
papers for its 38th Annual Meeting. As was the case with last year's ACL
conference, the technical sessions of the conference will be of two kinds.
There will be General Sessions as well as a number of special Thematic
Sessions organized around themes proposed by members of the computational
linguistics community.
For the General Sessions, 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and unpublished research on all aspects of computational linguistics,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.
Papers submitted to the Thematic Sessions are more narrowly targeted at
specific topics. The list of Thematic Sessions is as follows:
T1: NLP and Open-Domain Question Answering from Text
T2: Machine Learning and Statistical NLP for Dialogue
T3: Text Summarization
T4: Theoretical and Technical Approaches for Asian Language
Processing -- Similarities and Differences among Languages
Further information on the individual themes and topics appropriate to each
can be obtained from the ACL-2000 conference website
(http://www.cs.ust.hk/acl2000/).
Requirements
Requirements are the same regardless of whether you are submitting
a paper to the General Sessions or the Thematic Sessions; a separate
Call for Student Workshop papers will provide the information on
requirements for the Student Workshop submissions. 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 submitted to the General Sessions and
the Thematic Sessions will be blind. Reviewing of papers submitted
to the General Sessions will be managed by an international Conference
Program Committee consisting of Area Chairs, each of whom will have
the assistance of a team of reviewers. The Area Chairs are:
Key-Sun Choi Korea Advanced Institute of
Science and Technology, Korea
Walter Daelemans University of Antwerp, Belgium
Dan Jurafsky University of Colorado, USA
Yuji Matsumoto Nara Institute of Science and
Technology,
Japan
Johanna Moore University of Edinburgh, UK
Martha Palmer University of Pennsylvania, PA
Ellen Riloff University of Utah, USA
Giorgio Satta Universita` di Padova, Italy
Reviewing of papers for the Thematic Sessions will be managed by the
chairs of the Thematic Sessions, with the assistance of teams of reviewers.
Final decisions on the technical program (both General Sessions and
Thematic Sessions) will be made by the Conference Program Committee.
Each submission will be reviewed by at least three reviewers.
Submission Procedure
The format of submissions is the same regardless of whether you are
submitting a paper to the General Sessions or the Thematic Sessions.
Papers may not exceed 3200 words (exclusive of title page and references).
Papers outside the specified length are subject to be rejected without
review.
We strongly recommend the use of ACL latex style files or Microsoft Word
Style
files tailored for this year's conference. These are available from the
ACL-2000 Conference Website (http://www.cs.ust.hk/acl2000/). These style
files include a place for the paper ID code (see below) and word count
and 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. If you are unable to access
this webpage, please send email to acl2k at cis.udel.edu.
The reviewing of papers submitted to the General Session or the Thematic
Sessions will be blind. Hence the title page and 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) ...".
You must first register your submission. This can be done by filling out
an electronic form that is accessible from the conference webpage
(http://www.cs.ust.hk/acl2000/). 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.
Also, please use the paper ID code in all correspondences with the
program committee co-chairs. If you have any difficulty using the
electronic registration form, please send email to acl2k at cis.udel.edu with
all of the title page information (see below) plus the authors' names and
affiliations.
As reviewing will be blind, a separate title page and identification page
will be required. The title page should include the following information:
Title:
Paper ID Code: (generated upon paper registration)
Topic Area: one or two general topic areas
Keywords: Up to 5 keywords specifying subject area
Which Session: T1, T2, T3, T4, or G (you must choose one)
Word Count, excluding title page and references:
Under Consideration for other Conferences (specify):
Abstract: short summary (up to 5 lines)
T1, T2, T3, and T4 correspond to the four Theme Sessions and G corresponds
to the General Session. A paper can be submitted to at most one session.
The identification page should contain all of the information in the title
page, but in addition must include the authors' names, affiliations, and
email addresses. The format for the identification page should be as
follows:
Title:
Paper ID Code: (generated upon paper registration)
Authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses
Topic Area: one or two general topic areas
Keywords: Up to 5 keywords specifying subject area
Which Session: T1, T2, T3, T4, or G (you must choose one)
Word Count, excluding title page and references:
Under Consideration for other Conferences (specify):
Abstract: short summary (up to 5 lines)
Submissions must be received by April 7th, 2000. Late submissions
(those arriving on or after April 8th) will be rejected 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-2000 Submission
c/o K. Vijay-Shanker
103 Smith Hall
Department of Computer and Information Sciences
University of Delaware
Newark, DE 19716
USA
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
acl-routing at cis.udel.edu. Please include the paper ID code 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 April 7, 2000.
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 acl2k at cis.udel.edu.
Acknowledgment of receipt of the hardcopy submission will be emailed soon
after receipt. Notification of acceptance will be sent to authors (by
email)
around June 15, 2000. 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.
The dates here pertain only to the General Sessions and Thematic
sessions.
Paper registration deadline: March 31, 2000
Paper submissions deadline: April 7, 2000
Notification of acceptance: June 15, 2000
ACL 2000 Conference: October 3--6, 2000
Submission Questions
Authors unable to comply with the above submission procedure should
contact the program committee co-chairs sufficiently ahead of the
submission deadline so that alternate arrangements can be made.
All queries regarding the General Sessions and Thematic sessions
of ACL-2000 should be sent to acl2k at cis.udel.edu; this forwards to
both PC co-chairs.
