http://naacl2018.org CALL FOR PAPERS
------------------------------------
Conference Topics
------------------------------------
NAACL-HLT 2018 invites the submission of long and short papers on substantial,
original, and unpublished research in all aspects of computational linguistics.
NAACL-HLT 2018 has a goal of a broad technical program. Relevant topics for the
conference include, but are not limited to, the following areas (in alphabetical
order):
- Cognitive modeling / Psycholinguistics
- Dialog and interactive systems
- Discourse and pragmatics
- Generation
- Information Extraction
- Machine Learning for NLP
- Machine Translation
- NLP Applications
- Phonology, Morphology and word segmentation
- Question Answering
- Resources and evaluation
- Semantics
- Sentiment Analysis
- Social Media
- Speech
- Summarization
- Tagging, chunking, syntax and parsing
- Text Mining
- Vision, robots, and other grounding
As in recent years, some of the presentations at the conference will be of
papers accepted by the Transactions of the ACL. Also, separate CFPs will be
forthcoming for demo papers and for submissions to the industry track.
------------------------------------
Important Dates
------------------------------------
Submission Deadline (Long Papers) - December 15, 2017
Submission Deadline (Short Papers) - January 10, 2018
Long Paper Author Response Period - January 25~28, 2018
Notification of Acceptance (Long Papers) - February 14, 2018
Notification of Acceptance (Short Papers) - February 28, 2018
Camera Ready Due - March 20, 2018
(All deadlines are 11:59PM GMT -12, anywhere in the world.)
------------------------------------
Long and Short Papers
------------------------------------
Long Papers
Long paper submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and
unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis should
be included.
Long paper submissions may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, plus
unlimited references; final versions of long papers will be given one additional
page of content (up to 9 pages) so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into
account.
Long papers will be presented orally or as posters as determined by the program
committee. The decisions as to which papers will be presented orally and which
as poster presentations will be based on the nature rather than the quality of
the work. There will be no distinction in the proceedings between long papers
presented orally and as posters.
Short Papers
Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished work. Please note
that a short paper is not a shortened long paper. Instead short papers should
have a point that can be made in a few pages. Some kinds of short papers are:
- A small, focused contribution
- Work in progress
- A negative result
- An opinion piece
- An interesting application nugget
Short paper submissions may consist of up to four (4) pages of content, plus
unlimited references. Upon acceptance, short papers will be given five (5)
content pages in the proceedings. Authors are encouraged to use this additional
page to address reviewers’ comments in their final versions.
Short papers will be presented in one or more oral or poster sessions. While
short papers will be distinguished from long papers in the proceedings, there
will be no distinction in the proceedings between short papers presented orally
and as posters.
------------------------------------
Submission Guideline
------------------------------------
Note: the ACL is creating expanded publication guidelines which will be made
available via the NAACL-HLT 2018 website and submission system when they are
available. The ACL publication guidelines will supersede the guidelines below in
case of conflict.
Submissions should be original
The content of submissions to NAACL-HLT 2018 (the ideas, the findings, the
results and the words) should be original; that is, should not have been
published (or be accepted for publication) in another refereed, archival form
(such as a book, a journal, or a conference proceedings).
Authors may present preliminary versions of their work in other venues that are
not refereed and/or not archival (e.g. course reports, theses, non-archival
workshops, or on preprint servers such as arXiv.org). Authors should list all
such previous presentations in the submission form. This will help the area
chairs if questions of originality arise.
Papers that have been or will be submitted to other venues must indicate this at
submission time, and must be withdrawn from the other venues if accepted to
NAACL-HLT 2018.
Authors submitting more than one paper to NAACL-HLT 2018 must ensure that the
submissions do not overlap significantly (>25%) with each other.
Facilitate double blind review
Double blind review is a form of peer review in which the identities of authors
are not provided to reviewers, and the identities of reviewers are not provided
to authors. To facilitate double blind review, submissions should not identify
authors or their affiliations. For example, self-references that reveal the
author’s identity, e.g., “We previously showed (Smith, 1991) …” must be avoided.
Instead, use citations such as “Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) …”. Any
preliminary non-archival versions of submitted papers should be listed in the
submission form but not in the review version of the paper. NAACL-HLT 2018
reviewers are generally aware that authors may present preliminary versions of
their work in other venues, but will not be provided the list of previous
presentations from the submission form.
Follow style and format guidelines
Submissions should follow the NAACL-HLT 2018 style guidelines. Long paper
submissions must follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings without
exceeding eight (8) pages of content. Short paper submissions must also follow
the two-column format of ACL proceedings, and must not exceed four (4) pages.
References do not count against these limits. We strongly recommend the use of
the official NAACL-HLT 2018 style templates. All submissions must in PDF format.
Submissions that do not adhere to the above author guidelines may be rejected
without review.
Presentation Requirement
All accepted papers must be presented at the conference to appear in the
proceedings. Authors of papers accepted for presentation at NAACL-HLT 2018 must
notify the program chairs by the camera-ready deadline as to whether the paper
will be presented.
Previous presentations of the work (e.g. preprints on arXiv.org) should be
indicated in a footnote that should be excluded from the review submission, but
included in the final version of papers appearing in the NAACL-HLT 2018
proceedings.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for NAACL-HLT 2018 by
the early registration deadline.

Instead, use citations such as “Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) …”. Any
preliminary non-archival versions of submitted papers should be listed in the
submission form but not in the review version of the paper. NAACL-HLT 2018
reviewers are generally aware that authors may present preliminary versions of
their work in other venues, but will not be provided the list of previous
presentations from the submission form.
Follow style and format guidelines
Submissions should follow the NAACL-HLT 2018 style guidelines. Long paper
submissions must follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings without
exceeding eight (8) pages of content. Short paper submissions must also follow
the two-column format of ACL proceedings, and must not exceed four (4) pages.
References do not count against these limits. We strongly recommend the use of
the official NAACL-HLT 2018 style templates. All submissions must in PDF format.
Submissions that do not adhere to the above author guidelines may be rejected
without review.
Presentation Requirement
All accepted papers must be presented at the conference to appear in the
proceedings. Authors of papers accepted for presentation at NAACL-HLT 2018 must
notify the program chairs by the camera-ready deadline as to whether the paper
will be presented.
Previous presentations of the work (e.g. preprints on arXiv.org) should be
indicated in a footnote that should be excluded from the review submission, but
included in the final version of papers appearing in the NAACL-HLT 2018
proceedings.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for NAACL-HLT 2018 by
the early registration deadline.
