The first WiNLP Workshop will be held in conjunction with ACL 2017

Bibliographie

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.
