NAACL HLT 2009 Student Research Workshop
May 31-June 5, 2009 in Boulder, CO

(the Student Research Workshop will be held during the NAACL HLT
2009 Conference)

CALL FOR PAPERS

Paper Submission Deadline: Dec 15, 2008

Unless otherwise stated, all submissions are due by 11:59 PM EST
on the specified day.

1. General Invitation for Submissions

The Student Research Workshop is an established tradition at ACL
conferences. The workshop provides a venue for student researchers 
investigating topics in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language 
Processing to present their work and receive feedback from a general 
audience as well as from panelists. The panelists are experienced 
researchers who will prepare in-depth comments and questions in advance 
of the presentation.

We would like to invite
  student researchers to submit their work to the workshop. Since this 
workshop is an excellent opportunity to ask for suggestions, to receive 
useful feedback and to run your ideas by an international audience of 
researchers, the emphasis of the workshop will be on work in progress. 
The research being presented can come from any topic area within 
computational linguistics and is understood to be applied to speech 
and/or text. A list of topic areas is provided
in the Call for Papers for the NAACL HLT 2009 Conference available at:

http://clear.colorado.edu/NAACLHLT2009/call_for_papers.html

2. Submission Requirements

The emphasis of the workshop is original and unpublished research. The 
papers should describe original work in progress. Students who have 
settled on their thesis direction but still have significant research 
left to do
  are particularly encouraged to submit their papers.

Since the main purpose of presenting at the workshop is to exchange 
ideas with other researchers and to receive helpful feedback for further 
development of the work, papers should clearly indicate directions for 
future research wherever appropriate. All authors of multi-author papers 
MUST be students. Papers submitted for this workshop are eligible only 
if they have not been presented at any other meeting with publicly 
available published proceedings. Students
who have already presented at an ACL/EACL/NAACL Student Research
Workshop may not submit to this workshop. They should submit their 
papers to the main conference instead. It must be indicated if a paper 
has been submitted to another conference or workshop.

3. Submission Procedure

Submission will be electronic using the paper submission web page
below:

https://www.softconf.com/naacl-hlt09/StudentResearch2009/

Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and 
should not exceed six (6) pages, including references. We strongly 
recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word style files 
tailored for this year's conference. These files are available at:

http://clear.colorado.edu/NAACLHLT2009/stylefiles.html

A description of the format is available there in case you are unable to 
use these style files directly. All submissions must be electronic: 
please use the submission website above to submit your paper.

4. Reviewing Procedure

Reviewing of papers submitted to the Student Workshop will be managed by 
the Student Workshop Co-Chairs, with the assistance of a team of
  reviewers. Each submission will be matched with a mixed panel of 
student and senior researchers for review. The final acceptance decision 
will be based on the results of the review. Note that reviewing of 
papers will be double-blind; therefore, please make sure your paper 
shows the title, but no author information. You should likewise not have 
any self identifying references anywhere in the paper submitted for 
review. For example, rather than this: ''We showed
previously (Smith, 2001), ...'', use citations such as: ''Smith (2001) 
previously showed ...''.

5. Schedule

The papers must be submitted no later than 11:59 EST, December 15th, 
2008. No papers received after this deadline will be accepted. 
Acknowledgment will be emailed soon after receipt. Notification of 
acceptance will be sent to authors (by email) on February 6th, 2009. 
Detailed formatting guidelines for the preparation of the final 
camera-ready copy will be provided to authors
  with their acceptance notice.
