The first WiNLP Workshop will be held in conjunction with ACL 2017 in 
Vancouver, Canada. WiNLP stands for Women and Underrepresented Minorities in 
NLP.

Workshop Date: July 30, 2017 (Tutorial day)
Paper Submission Deadline:  April 21, 2017

The WiNLP workshop is open to all.  Its aim is to highlight the work of women 
and other underrepresented genders and minorities in NLP -- anyone who 
self-identifies within an underrepresented demographic, and would benefit 
from a more inclusive ACL environment. The full-day event includes invited 
talks, oral presentations, and poster sessions, and provides an excellent 
opportunity for junior members in the community to showcase their work and 
connect with senior mentors for feedback and career advice.  It also offers 
recruitment opportunities with leading industrial labs.  Most importantly, 
the workshop serves to share and promote the work of subpopulations in NLP 
that face additional barriers to entry and acceptance in the NLP community.

While everyone is encouraged to attend, the opportunity to present a talk or 
poster is intended for underrepresented genders and minorities (students, 
post-docs, professors, and other researchers). We invite submissions in the 
form of an extended 2-page abstract on topics in computational linguistics 
and natural language processing, including but not limited to:

Cognitive modeling and psycholinguistics
Corpus development and evaluation
Dialog and interactive systems
Discourse and pragmatics
Document analysis including text categorization, topic models, and retrieval
Natural language generation
Information extraction, text mining, and question answering
Language-inclusive multimodal integration
Linguistic theories for NLP
Low-resource or endangered languages
Machine learning
Machine translation
Mathematical models of language
Multilinguality
Phonology, morphology, and word segmentation
Resources and evaluation
Semantics
Sentiment analysis and opinion mining
Social media: Twitter, blogs, discussion forums, and other social media
Sociolinguistics
Speech, prosody, and spoken dialog
Summarization
Tagging, chunking, syntax, and parsing
Vision, robots, and other grounding applications

Submission Guidelines
-----------------------------------

Papers:
Submissions must follow the standard two-column format of the ACL 2017 
proceedings and they must be submitted as a PDF file. Authors should use the 
style files from the conference web site (http://acl2017.org/calls/papers/ 
[1]).
All submissions are limited to 2 pages of content, with any number of 
additional pages allowed for references.
The deadline for submission is 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time on April 21, 
2017. Submission will be electronic using the paper submission web page at 
https://www.softconf.com/acl2017/winlp [2].

Reviewing Procedure:
Submissions will be peer reviewed in the double-blind format. Abstracts will 
be evaluated on relevance to the community; the presentation format (talk or 
poster) will be decided based on scientific merit and potential interest to a 
broad audience.

Multiple-Submission Policy:
As our goal is to highlight contribution to the community from women and 
underrepresented minorities, we will consider anonymized 2-page abstracts of 
papers that were submitted to other venues or published elsewhere in the past 
year (i.e. after Jan 1st, 2016), though authors must indicate this at 
submission time.
