2003 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing
(EMNLP 2003)

Call for Papers


SIGDAT, the Association for Computational Linguistics' special interest group on linguistic data and corpus-based approaches to NLP, invites submissions to EMNLP 2003. The conference will be held on July 11-12 in Sapporo, Japan, immediately following the 41st meeting of the ACL (ACL 2003).

We are interested in papers from academia, government, and industry on all areas of traditional interest to the SIGDAT community and aligned fields, including but not limited to:

In addition to providing a general forum, the theme for this year is

"Combining Deep Analysis and Statistical Methods for NLP"

We solicit papers that describe attempts to apply statistical analysis to "deeper" representations of natural language than existing methods. Some illustrative examples are:
