Dear Organizers,
As the submission deadline is very close, I have several questions, which might be of interest to other participants as well.
1. Is there a connection between results and paper submission? For example, if my score is low.
2. Also, are there any guidelines for submitting for SemEval via Softconf (do I submit it as a short paper, should I state somewhere that this paper concerns a certain Task, etc.)?
3. It is mentioned here
http://acl2017.org/calls/papers/#presentation-requirement that authors of accepted papers should register for the conference. But, I wonder, if it is necessary to register, if I just submit a paper for the workshop. Generally, is there an option not to go to the workshop, and what are the odds of going there? (I don't want to discriminate against SemEval in favor of ACL 😀, but the cost of travel is very high).
