ACL 2020 STUDENT RESEARCH WORKSHOP SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

Student Research Workshop Collocated with ACL 2020, Seattle, Washington.

***Paper Submission Deadline: March 6, 2020 ****
Submissions should be made on the START conference system:
https://www.softconf.com/acl2020/SRW/.


SUBMISSION RULES

The ACL 2020 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'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 advanced PhD
students who have decided on a thesis topic and wish to get feedback on
their proposal and broader ideas for their continuing 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.
Topics of interest for the SRW are the same as ACL main conference.

Please see the submission guidelines page for more information:

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 ACL 2020 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.
