General Invitation For Submission The Student Research Workshop is an established tradition at NAACL conferences. The workshop provides a venue for student researchers investigating topics in computational linguistics and natural language processing to present their work and receive feedback from a general audience as well as from assigned mentors. We invite papers in two categories.
Format Of The WorkshopThis year’s workshop will comprise of two parts. The accepted papers will be presented in the main conference poster session giving the opportunity for students to interact and present their work to a large and diverse audience. In addition, we will have a separate session for the student papers on the first day of workshops (after the main conference). During this session, students will present their papers and receive feedback from mentors. The mentors are experienced researchers who will prepare in-depth comments and questions in advance of the presentation. Each accepted paper will be assigned a mentor. In addition, the session will feature panel discussions comprising of faculty and industry researchers who will talk about different aspects of dissertation writing and research. A lunch will also be organized on this day for the students and mentors. The separate session is a new addition compared to recent NAACL student workshops. We expect that it will provide a greater opportunity for receive focused feedback from mentors and also allow the students to network and socialize with other student participants. Travel GrantStudent authors of the accepted papers are also expected to be reimbursed for portion of their travel and conference registration during the workshop.Submission RequirementsBoth thesis proposals and research papers have a maximum limit of 6 pages for content and can include any number of additional pages for references. The papers should follow these specifications.1. Thesis Proposals may contain previously published work and must include specific research directions. They may also be in the style of a paper that surveys and critiques existing literature and suggests future research directions. Proposals may only have one author, who must be a student. 2. Research Papers must describe original completed work or work in progress. Since the main purpose of presenting at the workshop is to exchange ideas with other researchers and to receive helpful feedback for further development of the work, papers should clearly indicate directions for future research wherever appropriate. The first author of multi-author papers must be a student, but additional co-authors need not be students. Research Papers are eligible for this workshop only if they have not been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Students who have already presented at an ACL/EACL/NAACL Student Research Workshop may not submit to this track as a first author. These students should instead submit to the main conference or to the Thesis Proposal track. In addition, the authors of thesis proposals should provide a CV and letter from an advisor describing your research and why he or she would like you to participate in the workshop. The letter from the advisor is not a recommendation, rather a description of what he or she thinks you will gain from the workshop. The CV should be at most 2 pages and include your education background, publications and graduation date. Note that every student is only allowed to submit one first author paper. You may author multiple papers but since we mentor students and give feedback we request you to only submit one paper. Submission ProcedureSubmission will be electronic using the paper submission web page below:https://www.softconf.com/naacl2013/srw/ See https://sites.google.com/site/naaclsrw/ for details Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and should not exceed six pages of content. Any number of additional pages are allowed for references. We strongly recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word style files tailored for this year's conference. These files are available at:
A description of the format is available there in case you are unable to use these style files directly. All submissions must be electronic: please use the submission website above to submit your paper. Reviewing ProcedureThe reviewing of both types of papers will be double-blind, so please make sure your paper shows the title, but no author information. You should likewise not have any self identifying references anywhere in the paper submitted for review. For example, rather than this: "We showed previously (Smith, 2001), ...", use citations such as: "Smith (2001) previously showed ...". References to your own work in thesis proposals should also be anonymized. You may for example write it as “in X (2000) we showed”, etc. and do not add your papers in the reference list.ScheduleThe papers must be submitted no later than 11:59pm (23:59) PST, February 8th, 2013. No papers received after this deadline will be accepted. Notification of acceptance will be sent to authors (by email) on March 29, 2013. Detailed formatting guidelines for the preparation of the final camera-ready copy will be provided to authors with their acceptance notice.
