SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS -- ACL 2013 STUDENT RESEARCH WORKSHOP

5-7 August, 2013, Sofia, Bulgaria

** Submission deadline: Sunday, March 3, 2013 **

GENERAL INVITATION FOR SUBMISSIONS
----------------------------------------

The ACL Student Research Workshop provides a venue for student
researchers investigating topics in Computational Linguistics and
Natural Language Processing to present their research, to meet potential
advisors, and to receive feedback from the international research
community.  The workshop's goal is to aid students at multiple stages of
their education: from those in the final stages of undergraduate
training to those who are preparing their graduate thesis
proposal. Towards this goal, we invite papers in two separate
categories.

1. Thesis/Research Proposals: This category is appropriate for
experienced students who wish to get feedback on their proposal and
broader ideas for the field in order to strengthen their final research.

2. Research Papers: Most appropriate for students who are new to
academic conferences. Papers in this category can describe completed
work or work in progress with preliminary results.

Subject to the availability of established researcher volunteers, each
accepted paper will be assigned a mentor, who will provide feedback on
the work to the student at the conference. Separately, the committee
will do its best to assign pre-submission mentors to students who wish
to get feedback before the paper deadline. This service will be
available on a first come, first served basis and does not guarantee
acceptance into the workshop. Students who wish to take advantage of
this opportunity should let the co-chairs know via email (to:
acl-srw-2013 at googlegroups.com) no later than Saturday, December 29,
2012 and should submit a paper draft no later than Friday, January 18,
2013.
