Schedule:
Submission deadline: Apr 16, 2007Notification of acceptance: Jun 15, 2007Camera-ready copy due: Jul 22, 2007Conference dates: Sep 19--21, 2007
Aims:
Pacling 2007 is a high-quality, workshop-style conference whose aim isto promote friendly scientific interaction relating to computationallinguistics among Pacific Rim countries. The emphasis of theconference is on interdisciplinary scientific exchange demonstratingopenness towards high-quality research falling outside currentdominant schools of thought, and on technological transfer within thePacific region. The conference represents a unique forum forscientific and technological exchange, being smaller than ACL andCOLING, and more regional with extensive representation from thePacific.
Topics:
In addition to general computational linguistics, Pacling-2007 willhave a major theme:
Deep processing: Abstracting away from the surface
Submissions referring to the above theme are encouraged. However,substantial, original, and unpublished research is welcome on anytopic in computational linguistics, including, but not limited to, thefollowing:
- Phonology and Phonetics; - Morphology and Morphological Analysis; - Syntax and Syntactic Analysis; - Semantics and Semantic Analysis; - Pragmatics and Discourse Analysis; - Spoken Language and Dialogue; - Corpora and Corpus-based Language Processing; - Text and Message Understanding; - Text and Message Generation; - Machine Translation; - Text Summarization; - Information Extraction; - Information Retrieval and Question-Answering; - Language Learning; - Natural Language Interfaces; - Electronic Dictionaries, Thesauri and Ontologies.
Submission of Papers:
Authors should prepare anonymous submissions, in English, of up to 8 pagesincluding references. Guidelines and style sheets (based on the ACLstyles) are available at the web site:(http://mandrake.csse.unimelb.edu.au/pacling2007/).
Papers that are being submitted to other conferences, whether verbatim or inessence must declare this fact. If a paper appears at another conference, itmust be withdrawn from Pacling-2007. Papers that violate these requirementsare subject to rejection without review.
All papers will be submitted electronically in PDF format, through a web-basedsubmission system. The link to the submission web site will be made availableon the web site.
