EACL 2021 will be a virtual event, so this may be more accessible.
Student research workshops are a nice forum for a first or very early
publication, they tend to be very supportive events (designed to help
ease students into the area).

Submission deadline Nov 27, event to take place in April 2021 online.

Greetings Ted Pedersen,

EACL 2021 Student Research Workshop First Call for Papers

The Student Research Workshop (SRW) will be held in conjunction with EACL
2021 in Kyiv, Ukraine.

View on the web at https://sites.google.com/view/eaclsrw2021 [1]

Main Conference: April 19-23, 2021
Workshop: April 19-20, 2021

***Paper Submission Deadline: November 27, 2020 ****

=========================
General Rules for Submission
=========================

The EACL 2021 Student Research Workshop (SRW) provides a forum for student
researchers who are investigating various areas related to Computational
Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. The workshop provides an
excellent opportunity for student participants to present their work and
receive valuable feedback from the international research community as well
as from selected panelists - experienced researchers, specifically assigned
according to the topic of their work, who will prepare in-depth comments and
questions in advance of the presentation. The workshop&#039;s goal is to aid
students at multiple stages of their education: including undergraduate,
masters, junior and senior PhD students.

We invite papers in two different categories:

*Thesis Proposals:* This category is appropriate for PhD students who have
decided on a thesis topic and wish to get feedback on their proposal and
ideas about future directions for their work.

*Research Papers:* Papers in this category can describe completed work, or
work-in-progress with preliminary results. For these papers, the first author
**MUST BE** a current graduate or undergraduate student. We encourage
submissions from Ph.D. students, as well as Masters or advanced undergraduate
students. Topics of interest for the SRW are the same as EACL main conference
https://2021.eacl.org/calls/papers/ [2].

Please see the submission guidelines page for more information at
https://sites.google.com/view/eaclsrw2021/submission-guidelines [3].

*Pre-submission Mentoring Program:* The goal is to improve the presentation
of the student&#039;s work, not to critique the work itself. Mentors
will provide
feedback in the format of guidelines and suggestions to improve the overall
writing. Participation is optional but encouraged.

You CAN submit a paper to the main deadline, even if you did not participate
in pre-submission mentoring.

=========================
Benefits of participation
=========================

- All accepted papers and thesis proposals will be presented in the main
conference poster session, giving students an opportunity to interact with
and present their work to a large and diverse audience, including top
researchers in the field and assigned mentors.

- Submissions (in both categories) may either be archival or non-archival,
based on the wishes of the authors. All archival papers will be published in
the EACL 2021 SRW Proceedings. All non-archival papers may be submitted to
any venue in the future except another SRW.

- Each participant is also assigned a mentor - an experienced researcher -
who can provide valuable advice on the submission during the pre-submission
period and mentoring during the conference.

======================
Studentships by EACL
======================

A limited number of EACL Studentships are available on a competitive basis,
covering up to 500 euros of conference expenses (registration, travelling,
accommodation). Preference will be given to students who have a paper
accepted at the Student Workshop and with limited travel funds.

=====================
Submission Requirements
=====================

We accept both archival submissions (i.e., the work can be included in the
conference proceedings) and non-archival submissions (the work will be
presented in the workshop, but will not be part of the proceedings).

The “archival” submissions should follow the anonymity period and
restrictions of the main conference as appears in
https://2021.eacl.org/calls/papers/ [4].

All papers consist of up to five (5) pages of content, plus unlimited
references. Upon acceptance, papers will be given six (6) content pages.
Authors are encouraged to use this additional page to address reviewers’
comments in their final versions.

Paper submissions must use the official EACL 2021 style templates. All
submissions must be in PDF format and must conform to the official style
guidelines, which are contained in these template files. The review process
is blind; hence, all submissions must be anonymized.

To submit your paper or proposal, please use the Softconf START conference
management system at https://www.softconf.com/eacl2021/SRW/ [5].

The SRW invites papers on topics related to computational linguistics,
including but not limited to:
- Cognitive modeling and Psycholinguistics
- Dialog and Interactive Systems
- Discourse and Pragmatics
- Document analysis including Text Categorization, Topic Models and
Information Retrieval
- Generation
- Information Extraction, Text Mining and Question Answering
- Machine learning in NLP
- Machine translation
- Multilinguality
- Phonology, Morphology, and Word Segmentation
- Resources and Evaluation
- Semantics
- Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining
- Social Media
- Speech
- Summarization
- Tagging, Chunking, Syntax, and Parsing
- Vision, Robots, and other Grounding Applications
