cs.rutgers.edu>ACL'02 Preliminary Call For Papers 40th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics 7 - 12 July, 2002 Philadelphia, PA, USA http://www.acl02.org General Conference Chair: Pierre Isabelle (XRCE Grenoble, France) Program Co-Chairs: Eugene Charniak (Brown University, USA) Dekang Lin (University of Alberta, Canada) Local Organization Chair: Martha Palmer (University of Pennsylvania, USA) The Association for Computational Linguistics invites the submission of papers for its 40th Annual Meeting hosted jointly with the North American Chapter of the ACL. Papers are invited on substantial, original, and unpublished research on all aspects of computational linguistics, including, but not limited to: pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax and the lexicon; phonetics,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, question answering, and information extraction; language-oriented machine learning; 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 or workshops must indicate this on the title page. Reviewing - ------- The reviewing of the papers will be blind. Reviewing will be managed by an international Conference Program Committee consisting of Area Chairs, each of whom will have the assistance of a set of Program Committee members. The composition of the Conference Program Committee will be published in a later version of this call for papers. 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 Information - --------------- 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 at http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~lindek/acl02/style/ A description of the format will also be 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, one or two general topic areas, 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 or workshops, and if so, which ones. 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. Deadlines - ------- Paper registration deadline: January 25th, 2002 Paper submissions deadline: February 1st, 2002 Notification of acceptance: April 8th, 2002 Camera ready papers due: May 10th, 2002 ACL'02 Conference: July 6th-11th, 2002 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. 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'02. 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 USA FAX: +1 215 898 0587 The author must send ONE copy of the paper (HARD COPY by regular mail or by FAX) by no later than December 14th, 2001. 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 your paper and the mentor will get back to the author at least two weeks before the deadline for the submission to ACL'02 program committee (February 1, 2002). 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 (joshiMail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
