The Doctoral Consortium at ROCLING 2019 will provide an opportunity for a group of senior Ph.D. students to discuss and explore their research and career objectives with a panel of established researchers. The event is also an opportunity for students to develop the skills necessary to effectively communicate one's research in preparation for future job talks. The Doctoral Consortium will be held as a special session of ROCLING 2019. Students will present their work and get feedback from experienced researchers.
The consortium has the following objectives:
The event is designed for senior Ph.D. students who are in the last few years of their doctoral program (who have already settled on a research direction and who have likely already submitted a thesis proposal). Students who are conducting research on all aspects of human language processing are invited to apply. Topics include (but are not limited to):
Computational Linguistics
Information Understanding
Speech Processing
As part of the application process, students will submit a short paper, which can be can be written in either Chinese or English, summarizing their research goals, completed work, and future directions. This paper should be the basis for the student's presentation at the Doctoral Consortium event, which should follow the format of an abbreviated job talk. Thus, the paper should give an overview of the student's research and highlight his or her contributions; the paper may include citations to previous publications that describe more specific aspects of the student's research. Each submission will be reviewed by the doctoral consortium committee based on the relevance, innovation, content and quality. Accepted papers will be published in the ROCLING 2019 conference proceedings and included in the ACL Anthology. Students who are submitting papers on specific portions of their work to the main conference are also invited to apply to the Doctoral Consortium. In this case, the short paper for the Doctoral Consortium must give an overview of the student's dissertation research, and the paper for the main conference should focus on a specific piece of this work.
Applications should contain the following four elements:
The student should send email to kychen@csie.ntust.edu.tw, with four attachments in PDF format: the cover letter, the Curriculum Vitae, the short paper, and a recommendation letter.
The short paper should follow the format of ROCLING proceedings and should not exceed four (6) pages, including references. The template files will be available through the ROCLING homepage. We reserve the right to reject submissions that do not conform to these styles including font size restrictions. Submissions should be in PDF format and must include all fonts, so that the paper will print (not just view) anywhere.
Detailed formatting guidelines for the preparation of the final camera-ready copy will be provided to authors with their acceptance notice.
All application materials must be received by 11:59pm (23:59) PST (Pacific Standard Time) on Sep. 2, 2019. Late submissions will be automatically disqualified.
