Topics
The purpose of the
SIGMORPHON
workshop is to bring together researchers interested in applying
computational techniques to problems in morphology, phonology, and
phonetics, as the scope of the SIG's charter has expanded with
ACL's approval. Papers will be on substantial, original, and
unpublished research on these topics, potentially including strong
work in progress. Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to)
the following as they relate to the areas of the workshop:
- New formalisms, or computational treatments of existing linguistic
formalisms
- Probabilistic models and machine learning
- Unsupervised or semi-supervised learning of linguistic knowledge
- Analysis or exploitation of multilingual, multi-dialectal, or diachronic
data
- Algorithms, including finite-state methods
- Speech technologies relating to phonetics or phonology
- Instructional technologies for second-language learners
- Psycholinguistics and speech science (both production and comprehension)
- Machine transliteration and back-transliteration
- Corpus linguistics
- Integration of morphology, phonology, or phonetics with other NLP tasks
- Tools and resources
Submission Guidelines
- Content. Paper should be original, topical, and
clear. Completed work is preferable to intended work, but in any
event, the paper should clearly indicate the state of completion of
the reported results. Authors are encouraged to study the actual
review form used by reviewers to
assess papers.
- Submission Format. Submissions should follow the two-column
format of ACL proceedings and should not exceed eight (8) pages. One
additional page is allowed for the Reference Section. Thus your PDF
file maybe 9 pages. However, all material other than the bibliography
must fall within the first 8 pages! We strongly recommend the use of
the LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word document template that are
available on the ACL conference web site (here). The
only accepted format for submitted papers is Adobe PDF. We reserve the
right to reject submissions that do not conform to these styles,
including font size restrictions.
- Anonymous Review. The paper should not include the
authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that
reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith,
1991) ...", should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith
previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". Papers that do not conform to
these requirements will be rejected without review.
- Conflicts of Interest.
Conflicts of Interest: Authors should mark on the submission page any
program committee member with whom they have a conflict of interest,
such as a recent collaborator, a recent colleague at the same
institution, or a close personal friend.
- Double Submitting. Papers that have been or will be
submitted to other conferences or workshops must provide this
information on the START online submission page. Papers may not be submitted to SIGMORPHON 2008 if they are
currently being submitted to other meetings or publications and the
other meeting or publication prohibits multiple submission. If
SIGMORPHON 2008 accepts a paper, authors must notify the program
chairs immediately indicating which meeting they choose for
presentation of their work. SIGMORPHON 2008 cannot accept for
publication or presentation work that will be (or has been) published
elsewhere.
- Submission Procedure. Submission is electronic. To submit your paper, visit
https://www.softconf.com/acl08/ACL08-WS06/submit.html, fill in the form and upload your anonymous PDF file.
The submission deadline is March 17, 23:59 EST. The only accepted file format is PDF. You may revise your submission up until the deadline given below. Papers submitted after the deadline will not be reviewed.
