Requirements: Papers should describe unique work; they should emphasize completed work rather than intended work; and they should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. A paper accepted for presentation at the EACL Meeting cannot be presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences must reflect this fact on the title page. Format for Submission: Authors should submit preliminary versions of their papers, not to exceed 3200 words (exclusive of references). Papers outside the specified length and formatting requirements are subject to rejection without review. Papers should be headed by a title page containing the paper title, a short (5 line) summary and a specification of the subject area. Since reviewing will be "blind", the title page of the paper should omit author names and addresses. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the authors' identity (e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...") should be avoided. Instead, use references like "Smith previously showed (1991) ..." Care should be taken to mask identity in the bibliography by referring to the author's own papers as anonymous. This is especially applicable of unpublished in-house technical reports which are certain to reveal the identity of the author(s). To identify each paper, a separate identification page should be supplied, containing the paper's title, the name(s) of the author(s), complete addresses, a short (5 line) summary, a word count, and a specification of the topic areas. Submission Media: Papers should be submitted electronically or in hard copy to the Program Co-chairs: Steven Abney and Erhard W. Hinrichs Universitaet Tuebingen Seminar fuer Sprachwissenschaft Abt. Computerlinguistik Kleine Wilhelmstr. 113 D-72074 Tuebingen, Germany email: eacl95@sfs.nphil.uni-tuebingen.de Electronic submissions should be either self-contained LaTeX source or plain text. LaTeX submissions must use the ACL submission style (aclsub.sty) retrievable from the ACL LISTSERV server (access to which is described below) and should not refer to any external files or styles except for the standard styles for TeX 3.14 and LaTeX 2.09. A model submission modelsub.tex is also provided in the archive, as well as a bibliography style acl.bst. (Note however that the bibliography for a submission cannot be submitted as separate .bib file; the actual bibliography entries must be inserted in the submitted LaTeX source file.) Hard copy submissions should consist of four (4) copies of the paper and one (1) copy of the identification page. For both kinds of submissions, if at all possible, a plain text version of the identification page should be sent separately by electronic mail, using the following format: title: < title > author: < name of first author > address: < address of first author > ... author: < name of last author > address: < address of last author > abstract: < abstract > content areas: first area >, ... ,< last area > word count: Schedule: Authors must submit their papers by October 20, 1994. Papers received after this date will not be considered. Notification of receipt will be mailed to the first author (or designated author) soon after receipt. Authors will be notified of acceptance by December 23rd 1994. Camera-ready copies of final papers prepared in a double-column format, preferably using a laser printer, must be received by 31 January 1995, along with a signed copyright release statement. The ACL LaTeX proceedings format is available through the ACL LISTSERV. The paper sessions, including student papers, will take place on March 29-31. Student Sessions: There will again be special Student Sessions organized by a committee of (E)ACL graduate student members. (E)ACL student members are invited to submit short papers in any of the topics listed above. The papers will be reviewed by a committee of students and faculty members for presentation in workshop-style sessions and publication in a special section of the conference proceedings. There will be a separate call for papers, available from the ACL LISTSERV or from the chair of the program committee for the student sessions: Thorsten Brants, Universit"at des Saarlandes, Computerlinguistik, D-66041 Saarbr"ucken, Germany, email: thorsten@coli.uni-sb.de. Other Activities: The meeting will include a program of tutorials coordinated by John Nerbonne, Alfa-informatica, Oude Kijk in 't Jatstraat 26, Postbus 716, Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, NL-9700 AS Groningen; email: nerbonne@let.rug.nl. Proposals for tutorials may be sent to him. There is no special form. Tutorials are scheduled for March 27-28; registration for tutorials will take place on March 26. Some of the ACL Special Interest Groups may arrange workshops or other activities. Further information may be available from the ACL LISTSERV. Conference Information: The Local Arrangements Committee is chaired by: Allan Ramsay, Department of Computer Science, University College Dublin, Belfield, Dublin 4, Ireland (phone: (353)-1-7062479, FAX: (353)-1-2687262, email: allan@monkey.ucd.ie) ACL Information: For other information on the ACL more generally, contact Judith Klavans (global) or Mike Rosner (for Europe): Judith Klavans, Columbia University, Computer Science, Room 724, New York, NY 10027, USA; phone: +1-212-939-7120, fax: +1-914-478-1802; email:acl@cs.columbia.edu; Michael Rosner, IDSIA, Corso Elvezia 36, CH-6900 Lugano, Switzerland, email: mike@idsia.ch. General information about the ACL AND electronic membership and order forms are available from the ACL LISTSERV. Information on the ACL is also available through www URL http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~acl/home.html ACL Listserv: LISTSERV is a facility to allow access to an electronic document archive by electronic mail. The ACL LISTSERV has been set up at Columbia University's Department of Computer Science. Requests from the archive should be sent as e-mail messages to listserver@cs.columbia.edu with an empty subject field and the message body containing the request command. The most useful requests are "help" for general help on using LISTSERV, "index acl-l" for the current contents of the ACL archive and "get acl-l " to get a particular file named from the archive. For example, to get an ACL membership form, a message with the following body should be sent: get acl-l membership-form.txt Answers to requests are returned by e-mail. Since the server may have many requests for different archives to process, requests are queued up and may take a while (say, overnight) to be fulfilled. The ACL archive can also be accessed by anonymous FTP. Here is an example of how to get the same file by FTP (user type-in is in bold): $ ftp ftp.cs.columbia.edu Name (cs.columbia.edu:pereira): anonymous Password: pereira@research.att.com << not echoed ftp > cd acl-l/Information ftp > get 94.membership.form.Z ftp > quit $ uncompress 94membership.form.Z
