> Call for papers
> 
>    The purpose of the conference series International Workshop on
>    Computational Linguistics for Uralic Languages is to bring together
>    researchers working on computational approaches to working with
> these languages. We accept long and short papers as well as tutorial
>    proposals working on the following languages: Finnish, Hungarian,
>    Estonian, Võro, the Sámi languages, Komi (Zyrian, Permyak), Mordvin
>    (Erzya, Moksha), Mari (Hill, Meadow), Udmurt, Nenets (Tundra,
>    Forest), Enets, Nganasan, Selkup, Mansi, Khanty, Veps, Karelian
>    (Olonets), Karelian, Ingrian (Izhorian), Votic, Livonian, Ludic,
> and other related languages.
> 
>    All Uralic languages exhibit rich morphological structure, which
>    makes processing them challenging for state-of-the-art
> computational linguistic approaches, the majority also suffer from a
> lack of resources and many are endangered.
> 
>    Research papers should be original, substantial and unpublished
>    research, that can describe work-in-progress systems, frameworks,
>    standards and evaluation schemes. Demos and tutorials will present
>    systems and standards towards the goal of interoperability and
>    unification of different projects, applications and research groups
>    Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to):
>      * Parsers, analysers and processing pipelines of Uralic languages
>      * Lexical databases, electronic dictionaries
>      * Finished end-user applications aimed at Uralic languages, such
> as spelling or grammar checkers, machine translation or speech
>        processing
>      * Evaluation methods and gold standards, tagged corpora,
> treebanks
>      * Reports on language-independent or unsupervised methods as
>    applied to Uralic languages
>      * Surveys and review articles on subjects related to
> computational linguistics for one or more Uralic languages
>      * Any work that aims at combining efforts and reducing
> duplication of work
>      * How to elicit activity from the language community, agitation
>        campaigns, games with a purpose
>      * To maximise the possibility of reproducibility, replication and
>        reuse, we particularly encourage submissions which present
>        free/open-source language resources and make use of
>        free/open-source software.
> 
>    One of the aims of this gathering is to avoid unnecessary
> duplicated work in field of Uralistics by establishing connections and
>    interoperability standards between researchers and research groups
>    working at different sites. We have also identified a serious lack
> of gold standards and evaluation metrics for all Uralic languages
>    including those with national support, any work towards better
>    resources in these fields will be greatly appreciated. In this
> year’s edition, we continue our tradition of particularly encouraging
>    researchers of minority Uralic languages in Russia to participate.

>      * 14th November 2017: Paper submission deadline
>      * 6th December 2017: Paper notification
>      * 23rd December 2017: Camera-ready deadline

> Submission of papers
> 
>    Language of submission: Submissions should be made in English or
>    Russian with an obligatory abstract in at least one of the Uralic
>    Language(s).
> 
>    Submission format: There are multiple submission types: long and
>    short research papers, and demonstrations and tutorials. Research
>    papers should be up to 18 pages in length excluding references, the
>    descriptions for demonstrations and tutorials up to 5 pages.
>    Submissions should be formatted using LaTeX default article style
>    with b5paper option. Citations should be managed with bibtex and
>    e.g., unsrt bibliography style. Linguistic glosses should follow
>    Leipzig glossing rules and use expex LaTeX package (make sure to
>    update expex regularly as it is developed actively). Preferred
> LaTeX version is XeLaTeX and therefore you should use UTF-8 encoded
>    Unicode in your sources rather than TeX encoded characters where
>    possible. You will find the workshop template here (also in zip
>    format templates).
> 
>    If you do not have access to LaTeX text processing system, please
>    contact us for alternative templates and instructions.
> 
>    Submissions can be made here using the [34]EasyChair conference
>    management system.
> 
>    Publication venue: Proceedings of the workshop will be published
>    open-access in ACL anthology, SIG proceedings for SIGUR
> 
>    Conflicts of interest: The reviewing process will be anonymous
>    (double-blind peer review) and authors should state in their
>    submission all conflicts of interest with members of the programme
>    committee. Members of the programme committee are also expected to
>    state their conflicts of interest during review bidding. If the
>    programme committee finds themselves unable to review some of the
>    submissions, external reviewers may be called.
> 
>    Double submission: To maximise the impact of work in the field of
>    computational linguistics for the Uralic languages we are open to
> the possibility of double submission, or submission of work which has
>    been partially published elsewhere. Any double submission should
>    however be reported to the programme committee at the time of
>    submission. In the advent of double acceptance the authors should
>    choose in which venue to publish.
