Call for Papers
The Association for Computational Linguistics Special Interest Group on
Generation (SIGGEN) invites the submission of papers for its 3rd
biennial conference. Papers are invited on substantial, original, and
unpublished research on all aspects of natural language generation,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
Proceedings
Requirements
Papers should describe original work, emphasizing completed work rather
than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of completion
of the reported results. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation
results should be included. A paper submitted to INLG 2004 cannot have
previously been published. 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 eight (8) 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.
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).
