:: Mentoring service
ACL is providing 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. The service will be arranged as follows. A set of potential
mentors will be identified by Richard Power, who has agreed to
organize this service for ACL'04. If you would like to take advantage
of the service, send a draft of your paper to:
Richard Power
Information Technology Research Institute
University of Brighton
Watts Building
Lewes Road
Brighton BN24GJ
UK
+44 1273 642904 (office)
+44 1273 642908 (fax)
Email: Richard.Power at itri.brighton.ac.uk
To take advantage of this service, send the paper electronically to
the above email address, using pdf, ps or doc format. Alternatively,
hard copy can be sent to the postal address. The paper should arrive
before 1st February. An appropriate mentor will be assigned to your
paper and the mentor will get back to you by 15th February, at least
ten days before the deadline for the submission to ACL'04 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 Richard Power.

:: Call for papers of student research workshop
Faculty Advisor: Justine Cassell (Northwestern University, USA)
Student Co-Chairs:
Daniel Midgley (University of Western Australia, Australia)
Dmitriy Genzel (Brown University, USA)
Leonoor van der Beek (University of Groningen, Netherlands)
The Student Research Workshop is an established tradition at ACL
conferences. The workshop provides a venue for student researchers
investigating topics in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language
Processing to present their work and receive feedback. Participants
will have the opportunity to receive feedback both from the general
audience and from selected panelists -- experienced researchers who
prepare in-depth comments and questions in advance of the
presentation. One paper will be selected for the ACL-04 Student
Research Workshop Best Paper Award.
We invite all student researchers to submit their work to the
workshop. As the main goal of the workshop is to provide feedback, the
emphasis is on work in progress. Original and unpublished research is
therefore invited on all aspects of computational linguistics.
Papers should describe original work, still in progress. Submission
will therefore normally be open only to students who have settled on
their thesis direction but who still have significant research left to
do; those students in the final stages of their thesis should consider
submitting instead to the main conference.
Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and
should not exceed six (6) pages, including references. We strongly
recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word Style
files tailored for this year's conference.
Submission must be electronic. The electronic submissions should be
sent in an attachment to the following e-mail address:
acl04-student at list.cs.brown.edu. Note that reviewing of papers will be
blind; therefore, please make sure your paper shows the title, but no
author information. You should likewise not have any self-identifying
references anywhere in the paper submitted for review. For example,
rather than this "We showed previously (Smith, 2001), ..." use
citations such as "Smith (2001) previously showed ..."
Deadlines:
Paper submissions deadline: 8th March 2004
Notification of acceptance: 26th April 2004
Camera ready papers due: 25th May 2004

:: Call for tutorials
Tutorials chair: Inderjeet Mani (Georgetown University, USA)
The Program Committee of the 42nd Annual Meeting of the Association
for Computational Linguistics (ACL?04) invites proposals for the
Tutorial Program for ACL'04. Proposals for tutorials should contain a
title, the instructors? names, the length (3 hours or 6 hours), the
expected audience size, followed by a brief (< 500 word) description
of the content of the tutorial.
The description should explain clearly the relevance of the tutorial
to the ACL community. The description should also include a brief
outline of the structure of the tutorial broken down by time (what
topics will covered in the different sections of the tutorial, and in
what order, and how much time for each). Also, please include a brief
statement of what the tutorial attendees can expect to learn from the
tutorial, and what backgrounds (e.g., information extraction,
statistical NLP, etc.) is expected of the attendees. Finally, if you
have given a prior tutorial on this subject, or are aware of one,
please let us know.
Each proposal should also provide the names, postal addresses, phone
numbers, and email addresses of the tutorial speakers, with a
one-paragraph statement of their research interests and areas of
expertise, along with any links to further on-line information. The
proposal should also include any special requirements for technical
needs (e.g., internet access).
Proposals should be submitted by electronic mail, in plain ASCII text
(iso8859-1). The subject line should be: "ACL'04 TUTORIAL
PROPOSAL". Please submit your proposals and address any inquiries to
tutorials at acl2004.org.
Deadlines:
Submission Deadline for Tutorial Proposals: 1 February 2004
Notification of acceptance of Tutorial Proposals: 25 February 2004
Tutorial Announcements due: 19 March 2004
Tutorial Course material due: 1 June 2004
