Finite-State Methods and Natural Language Processing 2017
(FSMNLP 2017)
The international conference series Finite-State Methods and Natural
Language Processing (FSMNLP) is the premier forum of the ACL Special
Interest Group on Finite-State Methods (SIGFSM). It serves researchers
and practitioners working on natural language processing (NLP)
applications or language resources, theoretical and implementational
aspects, or their combinations, that make use of finite-state methods.
FSMNLP 2017 is co-located with the 13th International Workshop on Tree
Adjoining Grammars and Related Formalisms (TAG+13,
http://tag13.cs.umu.se), fostering the scientific exchange between the
two research communities. The meeting will include a number of joint
tutorial presentations, designed to introduce attendees to a range of
topics relevant to both communities.
Scope
=====
FSMNLP 2017 invites papers on natural language processing (NLP) with
obvious relevance or an explicit relation to finite-state methods as
well as, conversely, papers on finite-state methods that are motivated
by or clearly relevant to NLP. Topics include but are not limited to :
- NLP applications and linguistic aspects of finite-state methods
- Finite-state models of natural language and linguistic theories
- Practices for building morphological models using finite-state
technology
- Machine learning of finite-state models of natural language
- Finite-state manipulation software and tools with relevance to NLP
- Practical implementations of linguistic descriptions with
finite-state technology, including grammars, machine learning tools,
and language-specific challenges to finite-state NLP
- Formal results with relevance to finite state machines and
description languages
- Applications of finite-state-based NLP in fields such as comparative
linguistics, field linguistics, applied linguistics and language
teaching.
FSMNLP 2017 Special Theme
=========================
FSMNLP 2017 features the special theme
Finite-State Methods for Semantic Structures
covering, e.g., the creation, analysis, transformation of semantic
structures of various descriptions, learning and training methods for
finite-state devices processing semantic structures, etc.
The special theme is in no way intended to restrict the scope of papers.
Submissions relating to any dimension of finite-state NLP are
encouraged, whether or not they belong to the special theme. In
particular, this includes papers which apply finite-state methods to new
domains beyond the traditional focus of FSMNLP.

Submissions
===========
Submissions are made in two stages, a submission of a preliminary
abstract later followed by a submission of the paper itself. Papers must
present original, unpublished research and implementation
results. Simultaneous submissions to FSMNLP and to another conference or
workshop are allowed. According to the ACL double submission policy
(https://www.aclweb.org/archive/policies/current/double-submission-policy.html),
doubly-submitted papers should indicate this fact on the title page. If
accepted at both FSMNLP and the other meeting, such a paper must be
withdrawn from one of them. Withdrawal from FSMNLP shall be as soon as
possible but no later than one week after the notification of acceptance
at FSMNLP.
FSMNLP accepts two kinds of submissions :
- long papers (8 pages excluding references) reporting completed,
significant research,
- short papers (4 pages excluding references) reporting ongoing work
and partial results, implementations, grammars, practical tools,
interactive software demos, etc.
Short papers are expected to be presented as system demos, posters
and/or short presentations, while long papers are presented in full
talks.
All submissions are electronic and in PDF format via a web-based
submission server. Authors are strongly encouraged to preparte their
papers in LaTeX using the ACL 2016 style files to produce the PDF
document. The zip archive of the style files can be downloaded here :
http://acl2016.org/files/acl2016.zip
Information about the author(s) and other identifying information such
as obvious self-references (e.g., “We showed in [12] …”) and financial
or personal acknowledgements should be omitted in the submitted papers
whenever feasible.
Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF at
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fsmnlp2017.
A paper may contain a clearly marked appendix and data files to support
its claims. This material will not be published. While reviewers are
urged to consult this extra material for better comprehension, it is at
their discretion whether they do so. Such extra material should also be
anonymized to the extent feasible.
All accepted papers will be published and archived in the FSMNLP 2017
proceedings in the ACL Anthology. We plan to provide the opportunity to
submit revised and substantially extended versions of accepted papers to
a special issue of an appropriate high-quality journal.
