Submission Guidelines

In general, system description papers are expected to focus on:

• Replicability: present all details that will allow someone else to replicate your system

• Analysis: focus more on results and analysis and less on discussing rankings; report results on several runs of the system (even beyond the official submissions); present ablation experiments showing usefulness of different features and techniques; show comparisons with baselines.

• Duplication: cite the task description and the dataset paper - you can avoid repeating details of the task and data, however, briefly outlining the task and relevant aspects of the data is a good idea. (The official BibTeX citations for papers will be released in due course, so during the initial submission, please use some sort of placeholder citation.)

For a detailed outline, structure of the paper as well as links to some past system description papers, please follow these guidelines on the SemEval website -
