SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished work. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation and analysis should be included. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance, relevance to the conference, and interest to the attendees.

ACL-HLT 2011 will also accept papers accompanied by the resource (software or data) described in the paper. In addition to the regular review of the research quality of the paper, these papers will also be reviewed for the quality of the resource that is being made available. A separate review process will be organized for the research papers and for the accompanying resources. Papers that are submitted with accompanying software/data will receive additional credit toward the overall evaluation score, and acceptance or rejection decision will be made based on the quality of both the research and the software/data component.

Long papers:

Long papers may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, with two (2) additional pages of references, and will be presented orally or as a poster presentation as determined by the program committee. The decisions as to which papers will be presented orally and which as poster presentations will be based on the nature rather than on the quality of the work. There will be no distinction in the proceedings between full papers presented orally and those presented as poster presentations. The deadline for long papers is December 17, 2010 (PDT).

Short papers:

Short papers may consist of up to four (4) pages of content, and two (2) additional pages of references. Short papers will be published in a separate volume, and will be presented orally or as a poster presentations. The deadline for short papers is February 25th. The following types of papers are appropriate for a short paper submission:

* A small, focused contribution
* Work in progress
* A negative result
* An opinion piece
* An interesting application nugget


Format:

Both long and short paper submissions should follow the two-column format. We strongly recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word style files tailored for this year's conference, which are available on the conference website under Information for Authors. Submissions must conform to the official ACL-HLT 2011 style guidelines, which are contained in the style files, and they must be electronic in PDF.

As the reviewing will be blind, the paper must not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", must 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.

Authors that choose to also submit the supporting software/data with their paper, will have to ensure that the resource is ready for distribution, with complete README files and all the information required so that the reviewers can evaluate and/or use at least a part of the resource. The software/data component does not have to be anonymized, and it will be evaluated by a different set of reviewers than those reviewing the research component of the paper. The resource associated with papers being accepted for publication at ACL-HLT 2011 will be publicly distributed along with the online version of the conference proceedings.

Multiple-submission policy:

Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or publications must provide this information at submission time. If ACL-HLT 2011 accepts a paper, authors must notify the program chairs, indicating which meeting they choose for presentation of their work. ACL-HLT 2011 cannot accept for publication or presentation work that will be (or has been) published elsewhere.
