13th International Conference on Natural Language Generation
Dublin, Ireland, December 15 - 18, 2020

Website: www.inlg2020.org
Contact: inlg2020@abbey.ie

=======================================

In order to avoid the need for international travel and risk the further spread of COVID-19, the 13th International Conference on Natural Language Generation (INLG 2020) will be delivered fully online, hosted virtually by Dublin City University, DCU, in Dublin Ireland, December 15 - 18, 2020. The conference takes place immediately after COLING 2020(https://coling2020.org/), 8-10 December 2020. We will take steps to ensure there is as much virtual social interaction as possible.

We invite the submission of long and short papers, as well as system demonstrations, related to all aspects of Natural Language Generation (NLG), including data-to-text, concept-to-text, text-to-text and vision-to-text approaches. Accepted papers will be presented as oral talks or posters.

The event is organised under the auspices of the Special Interest Group on Natural Language Generation (SIGGEN)(https://aclweb.org/aclwiki/SIGGEN) of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)(https://aclweb.org/aclwiki/Main_Page).

=======================================

Submissions & Format

Submissions should follow ACL Author Guidelines (https://www.aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=ACL_Author_Guidelines) and policies for submission, review and citation, and be anonymised for double blind reviewing. ACL 2020 offers both LaTeX style files and Microsoft Word templates(http://acl2020.org/downloads/acl2020-templates.zip, an Overleaf template is also available here( https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/acl-2020-proceedings-template/zsrkcwjptpcd).
Papers should be submitted electronically through the START conference management system
(https://www.softconf.com/l/inlg2020/)

Three kinds of papers can be submitted:

- Long papers are most appropriate for presenting substantial research results and must not exceed eight (8) pages of content, with up to two additional pages for references. The final versions of long papers will be given one additional page of content (up to 9 pages) so that reviewers’ comments can be taken into account.

- Short papers are more appropriate for presenting an ongoing research effort and must not exceed four (4) pages, with up to one extra page for references.

- Demo papers should be no more than two (2) pages in length, including references, and should describe implemented systems which are of relevance to the NLG community. Authors of demo papers should be willing to present a demo of their system during INLG 2020.

All accepted papers will be published in the INLG 2020 proceedings and included in the ACL anthology. A paper accepted for presentation at INLG 2020 must not have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available proceedings. Dual submission to other conferences is permitted, provided that authors clearly indicate this in the "Acknowledgements" section of the paper when submitted. If the paper is accepted at both venues, the authors will need to choose which venue to present at, since they can not present the same paper twice.
