CALL FOR PAPERS
STUDENT RESEARCH WORKSHOP at COLING/ACL-2006
http://www.acl2006.org/program/student-workshops
17th-21st July 2006
Sydney, Australia
Submission deadline: February 28, 2006
*********************************************************************
1. General Invitation for Submissions
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.
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.
The research being presented can come from any topic areas within
computational linguistics including, but not limited to:
• pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax and the lexicon
• phonetics, phonology and morphology
• linguistic, mathematical and psychological models of language
• information retrieval, information extraction, question answering
• summarization and paraphrasing
• speech recognition, speech synthesis
• corpus-based language modeling
• multi-lingual processing, machine translation, translation aids
• spoken and written natural language interfaces, dialogue systems
• multi-modal language processing, multimedia systems
• message and narrative understanding systems
The main conference also features tutorials, workshops, and demos. More
information on these can be found at the main ACL-06 page,
http://www.acl2006.org/ .
2. Submission Requirements
The emphasis of the workshop is on original and unpublished research.
The papers should describe original work, still in progress. Papers
should clearly indicate directions for future research wherever
appropriate.
• The papers may have more than one author; however, all authors MUST
be students (graduate or undergraduate).
• Paper submitted are eligible only if they have not been presented
at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings.
• Students who have already presented at an ACL/EACL/NAACL Student
Research Workshop may not submit.
3. Submission Procedure
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. These will be available from
the web pages of ACL-06 and the Student Research Workshop. A
description of the format is also available in case you are unable to
use these style files directly. Submission must be electronic. Details
regarding the submission procedure will be posted on the workshop
website: http://www.acl2006.org/program/student-workshops .
4. Reviewing Procedure
Reviewing of papers submitted to the Student Workshop will be managed
by the Student Workshop Co-Chairs, with the assistance of a team of
reviewers. Each submission will be matched with a mixed panel of
student and senior researchers for review. The final acceptance
decision will be based on the results of the review. 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 ...".
5. Schedule
Submissions must be received by February 28th, 2006. Late submissions
will be automatically disqualified. Acknowledgment will be e-mailed
soon after receipt. Notification of acceptance will be sent to authors
(by e-mail) on April 28th, 2006. Detailed formatting guidelines for the
preparation of the final camera-ready copy will be provided to authors
with their acceptance notice.

Paper submissions deadline: February 28th, 2006
Notification of acceptance: April 28th, 2006
Camera ready papers due: May 19th, 2006
Conference date: July 17-21, 2006
