Call for Papers for Student Session
The Association for Computational Linguistics Special Interest Group
on Generation (SIGGEN) invites the submission of papers for the
Student Session at INLG 2004. Student papers are invited on the same
topics as the main session, i.e. all aspects of natural language
generation, including, but not limited to:
- Communicative goal and message specification, content selection
- Text planning, discourse models, argumentation strategies
- Sentence realization, formalisms and models of grammar,
sentence aggregation, lexical choice
- Wide coverage generation
- Knowledge acquisition and resources for generation
- Style and stylistic control of generators
- Architecture of generators
- Multimodal and multimedia generation
- Multilingual generation
- Statistical approaches to generation
- Psychological modelling of language production
- Machine learning methods for generation
- Evaluation methodologies for generation
- Generation for speech synthesis
- Applications of generation, including areas such as document
and data summarization, knowledge management, the semantic web and
mobile computing
Student Session
The Student Session is now an established INLG tradition. The main
idea is for students to present work in progress in a constructive
atmosphere and to receive helpful feedback from established
researchers in their field.
Proceedings
Requirements
Papers should describe original work, either completed or in progress,
and should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported
results. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation results should be
included, and directions for future research should be indicated.
Papers can have more than one author, but all authors must be
students. Evidence of student status may be required for accepted
authors. Students may submit more than one paper, provided the set of
authors is different on each paper, and provided each paper will be
presented by a different student.
A paper submitted to INLG 2004 cannot have previously been published,
and once accepted for INLG 2004 should not be submitted to further
conferences or workshops. Papers that are being submitted to other
conferences or workshops must indicate this.
Reviewing
Reviewing of papers will be blind. Reviewing will be managed by an
international Conference Programme Committee. Each submission will be
reviewed by at least three reviewers. Final decisions on the technical
programme will be made by the Conference Programme Committee chairs.
Submission information
Submissions should follow the style required for the LNCS/LNAI series,
and should be converted to PDF format. Papers must not exceed five (5) pages, including
references. See the Submission Format page for full
details of formatting requirements.
Note: The LNCS/LNAI Instructions for Authors provide templates for
both LaTeX and Word. However, for final submission of accepted papers,
we will have a strong practical preference for LaTeX source to allow
us to construct the compiled document. Authors are therefore urged to
use LaTeX to create submissions from the outset wherever possible.
As reviewing will be blind, the paper should not include the authors'
names and affiliations. In the paper, please insert the paper
registration number (see below) instead of of the authors'
names. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the authors' 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 may be rejected
without review.
Submission procedure
Paper submission is a web-based two-stage process.
Paper registration
You must submit a notification of submission by filling out this
Abstract submission form.
The authors should fill in contact author details, the title of the paper, the authors'
names and affiliations, abstract and topic areas. Please use the 'Remarks' field to specify
if the paper is under consideration for other conferences or workshops, and if so, which ones.
Important note for student papers: Please use the 'Remarks' field to
indicate that this paper is submitted to the student session, otherwise your paper
will be reviewed as a submission to the main session.
After submission, the contact author will be emailed a password which will be required for
submission of the paper. This password also acts as an identification number for the paper.
Please use it on all correspondence with the programme committee. Correspondence relating to
a submission should be addressed to
Paper submission
All papers must be submitted electronically using the Paper submission
form web page. The first page of your paper must include the identification
number obtained from paper registration. The paper must be submitted no
later than the deadline. Papers submitted after that time will not be
reviewed. Papers should be in PDF format (RTF is also permitted but not encouraged).
