Deadlines
The International Committee for Computational Linguistics is pleased
to announce its 22nd meeting, to be held in Manchester UK on the
18th-22nd August 2008. We invite papers on substantial, original,
and unpublished research on all aspects of computational linguistics,
including, but not limited to:
- pragmatics, semantics, syntax, grammars and the lexicon;
- lexical semantics and ontologies;
- word segmentation, tagging and chunking;
- parsing, generation and summarization;
- paraphrasing and textual entailment;
- language models, spoken language recognition and understanding;
- linguistic, psychological and mathematical models of language;
- information retrieval, question answering, information extraction
and text mining;
- machine learning for natural language;
- corpus-based modelling of language, discourse and dialogue;
- multilingual processing, machine translation and translation aids;
- multimodal and natural language interfaces and dialogue systems;
- applications, tools and language resources;
- system evaluation.
REQUIREMENTS
Papers should describe original work; they should emphasize completed
work or – in the case of posters – ongoing research rather than
intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of completion of
the reported results. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation
results should be included. Submissions will be judged on
correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and
relevance to the conference, and interest to the attendees.
Submissions presented at the conference should mostly contain new
material that has not been presented at any other meeting with
publicly available proceedings. Papers that are being submitted in
parallel to other conferences or workshops must indicate this on the
title page, as must papers that contain significant overlap with
previously published work.
REVIEWING
Reviewing will be managed by an international Conference Programme
Committee consisting of Area Chairs and associated Programme Committee
Members.
Programme Co-Chairs:
Donia Scott (Open University, UK)
Hans Uszkoreit (Universität des Saarlandes and DFKI, Germany)
Area Chairs:
Paul Buitelaar (DFKI, Germany)
Robert Dale (Macquarie University, Australia)
Mary Dalrymple (University of Oxford, UK)
Bill Dolan (Microsoft Research, USA)
Eva Hajičová (Univerzita Karlova v Praze, Czech Republic)
Julia Hirschberg (Columbia University, USA)
Chu-Ren Huang (Academia Sinica, Taiwan)
Pierre Isabelle (NRC Institute for Information Technology, Canada)
Mark Johnson (Brown University, USA)
Miles Osborne (University of Edinburgh, UK)
Stephen Pulman (University of Oxford, UK)
Dan Roth (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA)
Junichi Tsujii (Tōkyō Daigaku, Japan and University of Manchester, UK)
Yorick Wilks (University of Sheffield, UK)
The reviewing process will be blind and each submission will be
reviewed by at least three programme committee members.
CATEGORIES OF PAPERS
Papers can be submitted to one of two categories: as a REGULAR PAPER
or as a POSTER. Authors must designate one of these
categories at submission time. Regular papers will be presented a single time to a
potentially large audience during one of the parallel paper sessions at the conference,
and poster presentations will be repeated several times before small groups of people
(using paper posters) at one of the conference poster sessions. Regular papers are
most appropriate for presenting substantial research results, while posters are
more appropriate for presenting an ongoing research effort. The maximum
submission length will be the same for both regular papers and posters
(8 pages). However the final published versions will be 8 pages for regular
papers and 4 pages for posters. Regular and poster papers will appear
in separate volumes of the proceedings.
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Submission will be electronic. The only accepted format for submitted
papers is Adobe PDF. The papers must be submitted no later than 30th
March 2008. Papers submitted after that time will not be reviewed.
