It will again feature a Student Session where students can network and get feedback on their work -- both from faculty and student attendees. This CFP solicits submissions to the student session. Topics of Interest - ----- The areas of interest are Logic -- including work on problems of mathematical or philosophical interest Language -- including descriptive or theoretical work in formal linguistics Language and Logic -- applications of logic to natural language Language and Computation -- theoretical and empirical work in computational linguistics Logic and Computation -- automated theorem-proving and related fields Computation -- artificial intelligence or related areas of computer science Work integrating several of these areas is of particular interest. Requirements - --- The Student Session papers should describe original, unpublished work that has been completed. However, no previously published papers should be submitted. All authors must be at the pre-doctoral level; submissions co-authored by non-students will be discarded. Format of Submission - --- Full papers, not to exceed 10 pages, are to be submitted by email as Adobe Portable Document Files (PDF). This file must include a separate identification page including the following pieces of information: Title: title of the submission First author: firstname lastname Address: address of the first author ...... Last author: firstname lastname Address: address of the last author Short summary: abstract (5 lines) Subject area (one or two of): Logic | Language | Computation Other Conferences Submitted To: Neither this identification page, nor any bibliography counts towards the 10 page limit. Since reviewing will be blind, the body of the paper should omit author names and addresses. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity (e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991)... ") should be avoided. It is possible to use instead references like "Smith (1991) previously showed..." The PDF of the paper is to be enclosed in an email duplicating the information on the identification page. Use US Letter paper and LaTeX if possible; accepted papers will need to be resubmitted without page numbers.

The CFPs of these associated conferences and workshops will be made available in January from our Web site. 2-1) Associated Conferences AC1 EMNLP2003: The Eighth Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing Yuji Matsumoto (Nara Institute of Science and Technology) AC2 6th International Workshop on Information Retrieval with Asian Languages (IRAL2003) Jun Adachi (National Institute of Informatics) 2-2) ACL Workshops WS1 Multilingual Summarization and Question Answering -- Machine Learning and Beyond Abraham Ittycheriah (IBM), Tsuneaki Kato (Univ. of Tokyo), Chin-Yew Lin (USC/ISI), Yutaka Sasaki (NTT) WS2 Natural Language Processing in Biomedicine Sofia Ananiadou (Univ. of Salford), Udo Hahn (Univ. of Freiburg), Jerry Hobbs (USC/ISI), James Pustejovsky (Brandeis Univ.), Jun'ichi Tsujii (Univ. of Tokyo) WS3 The Lexicon and Figurative Language Alan Wallington (University of Birmingham) WS4 Multilingual and Mixed-language Named Entity Recognition: Combining Statistical and Symbolic Models Mari Broman Olsen (Microsoft Corporation) WS5 The Second International Workshop on Automatic Paraphrasing: Paraphrase Acquisition and Applications Kentaro Inui (Chair, NAIST), Regina Barzilay (Cornell University) Mark Dras (Macquarie University), Satoshi Sato (Kyoto University) Kazuhide Yamamoto (Nagaoka Univ. of Tech./ATR) WS6 Second Sighan Workshop on Chinese Language Processing Qing Ma (Communications Research Lab), Fei Xia (IBM) WS7 Multiword Expressions: Analysis, Acquisition and Treatment Anna Korhonen (Univ. of Cambridge), Francis Bond (NTT), Diana McCarthy (Univ. of Sussex), Aline Villavicencio (Univ. of Cambridge) WS8 Linguistic Annotation: Getting the Model Right Nancy Ide (Bassar College), Key-Sun Choi (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology), Laurent Romary (LORIA/INRIA) WS9 Workshop on Patent Corpus Processing Atsushi Fujii (Univ. of Tsukuba), Makoto Iwayama (Tokyo Institute of Technology) WS10 Towards a Resources Information Infrastructure Steven Krauwer (ELSNET) Nicoletta Calzolari (ILC-CNR) Antonio Zampolli (Universita di Pisa & ILC-CNR) ================================================================== 3) Call for Interactive Poster/Demo Sessions ACL-03 features special sessions for interactive posters and demonstrations. Poster/Demo presentations present original and significant work in progress, on-going research projects with novel ideas/applications, or late-breaking results that are best communicated in an interactive format. Interactive Poster/Demo sessions provide a forum of academic and technical exchanges and are completely separated from the Industrial Exhibition that takes place also on the conference site. The topics of interest cover the same area of the main conference. See the http://www.ec-inc.co.jp/ACL2003/callforpapers.html Full paper submission information The authors should submit an original paper (of no more than 4 pages in ACL format) that describes and emphasizes the problem of the research and the novelty of the methods or theories being used. Presentations with demos should outline the design of their systems and provide sufficient details to allow the evaluation of their validity, quality and usefulness. They should also describe the equipments required for the demonstration. Interactive Poster/Demo presentations will be given a booth for showing posters and giving a demo on a laptop computer or via a projector. The Poster/Demo papers are allocated 4 pages which will be included in the companion volume of the conference proceedings. All the Poster/Demo submissions will be reviewed by an international program committee. Submission Information Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and should not exceed four (4) pages, including references. We strongly recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word Style files tailored for this year's conference. A description of the format will also be available in case you are unable to use these style files directly. As reviewing will be blind, the paper should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity should be avoided. The papers with a demo that requires a special consideration should describe the requirements just before the introductory session of the paper. Submission Procedure All papers must be submitted electronically at the web address. The papers must be submitted no later than 12 noon Central Time (8PM GMT) on May 1st, 2003. Papers submitted after that time will not be reviewed. Important Dates Paper submission deadline: May 1, 2003 Notification of acceptance: May 20, 2003 Camera ready copy due: June 3, 2003 -------------------------- Program Committee for Interactive Poster/Demo sessions Chair: Yuji Matsumoto, NAIST (Japan) PC members (more will be added): Tilman Becker, DFKI (Germany) Rens Bod, University of Amsterdam (the Netherlands) Christian Boitet, Universite Joseph Fourier (France) Harry Bunt, Tilburg University (the Netherlands) Sharon Caraballo, Georgetown University (USA) John Caroll, University of Sussex (UK) Hsin-Hsi Chen, National Taiwan University(Taiwan) Lee-Feng Chien, Academia Sinica (Taiwan) Hai Leong Chieu, DSO National Laboratories (Singapore) Pascale Fung, University of Science and Technology (Hong Kong) Graeme Hirst, University of Tronto (Canada) Kentaro Inui, NAIST (Japan) Genichiro Kikui, ATR (Japan) Sadao Kurohashi, University of Tokyo (Japan) Kui-Lam Kwok, City University of New York(USA) Maria Lapata, School of Informatics(UK) Gary Geunbae Lee, POSTECH (Korea) Jong-Hyeok Lee, POSTECH(Korea) Hang Li, Microsoft (China) Dan Melamed, New York University (USA) Dan Moldovan, University of Texas at Dallas(USA) Manny Rayner, RIACS (USA) Satoshi Sekine, Bew York University (USA) Bangalore Srinivas, AT&T (USA) Key-Yih Su, BDC Corp (Taiwan) Thomas Fang Zheng, Tsinghua University (China) Michael Zock, LIMSI (France) ================================================================== 4) Information on Other Conferences or Workshops Being Held Nearby We would be happy to help those wishing to arrange events in conjunction with ACL03.
