Mid-Atlantic Student Colloquium on Speech, Language and Learning

April 1st, 2016
University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia

http://www.mascsll.org/

The 5th annual Mid-Atlantic Student Colloquium on Speech, Language and Learning will be hosted at the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, PA) on April 1, 2016. The Student Colloquium is intended to bring together students taking computational approaches to speech, language, and learning, so that they can introduce their research to the local student community, give and receive feedback, and engage each other in collaborative discussion.

Students are encouraged to submit abstracts describing ongoing, planned, or completed research projects, including previously published results and negative results. Student research in any field applying computational methods to any aspect of human language, including speech and learning, from all areas of computer science, linguistics, engineering, neuroscience, information science, and related fields, is welcome. Submissions and presentations must be made by students or postdocs. All accepted submissions will be presented as posters and some will also be invited for short oral presentations.

There will be no registration fee. Students and postdocs are encouraged to consult with their supervisors about potential reimbursement of travel expenses.

Abstract Submission Details

Abstracts should be no more than one page, not including references. Abstracts should conform to ACL style guidelines. LaTeX and Word style files, along with a style guide, are available at the 2015 ACL publications page. Abstract reviewing will not be blind. Please include all names and affiliations in the abstract. Submit your abstract online via the 2016 MASC-SLL easychair site:
