A session on the Shared Task will be organized in conjunction with the

ACL/HLT BioNLP 2011 workshop on 24th June. We would like to encourage

participants to submit a manuscript describing their approach and results.

We encourage in particular manuscripts that present careful analysis and

discussion of the results, detailing the relevance and contribution of

different aspects of their approach.

Manuscripts may be submitted either as full papers (8+2 pages) or short

papers (4+2 pages):

Full papers :

Up to 8 pages (for content) + 2 pages (for references), oral presentation

Short papers :

Up to 4 pages (for content) + 2 pages (for references), oral presentation

Submissions must be electronic and in PDF format, and should follow the

two-column format of ACL/HLT proceedings. Please see the conference website

for detailed typesetting specifications. Authors are strongly encouraged to

use the style files and formatting instructions available on the ACL/HLT

conference website:

~~Submissions need to be anonymous~~. All papers will be reviewed by program

committee ~~using a double-blind review process~~. Based on the reviews,

some authors may be asked to recast their submissions as short papers or

poster abstracts (2 pages).

Submission can be made via the ACL/HLT website:

All accepted papers will be included in the shared task section of the

BioNLP workshop proceedings and the authors will be invited to present their

work at the shared task session of the workshop.
