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
We strongly prefer submissions to be as PS files. Any author who submits in PDF must assume the responsibility for ensuring that fonts are treated properly so that the paper will print (not just view) anywhere. (This may involve reading the manual.) DOC/RTF formats cannot be accepted.
Reviewing will be blind. No information identifying the authors should be in the paper: this includes not only the authors' names and affilations, but also self-references that reveal authors' identities; for example, "We have previously shown (Smith 1999)" should be changed to "Smith (1999) has previously shown". A separate identification email is required: see below.
Paper title
Authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses
Contact author's email address
A short list of keywords
A short (no more than 5 lines) summary of the contents
Whether or not the paper is under consideration for other conferences (please specify)
Second, an electronic version of the paper in PostScript format, named <contact-author-email>.ps must be received by April 4, 23:00 GMT (6pm EDT) at emnlp03@ai.mit.edu. The paper should be formatted for A4 or letter-size paper. It should not include information which identifies the author(s). Please use gzip or plain old zip (or PKZIP) for compression to ensure nothing is lost during the email transfer.
In case of difficulties sending the PostScript version, please generate a PDF format instead (and name it accordingly: <contact-author-email.pdf). Let us stress again that the PostScript format is nevertheless strongly preferred.
Only in case of really, REALLY unsolvable difficulties in sending the electronic version, please send a single hardcopy of the paper and the ID page to
