About the Student Research Workshop
The ACL 2023 Student Research Workshop (SRW) is a forum to bring together
students investigating various areas of Computational Linguistics, Natural
Language Processing and Machine Learning. The workshop provides an
excellent opportunity for participants to present their work and to receive
mentorship and valuable feedback from the international research community.
The workshop's goal is to aid students at multiple stages of their
education, including undergraduate, MSc/MA, junior and senior PhD students,
in getting familiar with conducting and presenting their research.
General Rules for Submission
We invite papers in two different categories:
-
Research Papers: Papers in this category can describe completed work, or
work in progress with preliminary results. For these papers, the first
author **MUST BE** a current student (graduate or undergraduate). Topics
of interest for the SRW are the same as for the main ACL 2023 conference:
<https://www.2022.aclweb.org/calls>
https://2023.aclweb.org/calls/main_conference/
-
Thesis Proposals: This category is appropriate for PhD students who have
decided on a thesis topic and wish to get feedback on their proposal and
broader ideas for their continuing work.
Submissions (in both categories) may either be archival or non-archival,
based on the wish of the authors. All archival papers will be published in
the ACL 2023 SRW Proceedings. Non-archival papers may be submitted to any
venue in the future except for another SRW.
The submission links are on our website (https://acl2023-srw.github.io/).
Please read the guidelines carefully.
Why Submit to ACL SRW?
There are many good reasons to submit to the ACL SRW, such as:
-
Mentorship program: ACL SRW provides a unique opportunity for students
to receive constructive feedback and to improve their work through a
pre-submission mentorship program.
-
Improving your publication record: publishing a paper as an
undergraduate or as a MSc/MA student is beneficial when applying for a PhD
program. Publishing a paper in an ACL SRW workshop can be really helpful
for improving students’ publication record.
-
Explorative Studies: We encourage the submission of studies with
positive and negative results providing insights on why and in which
scenarios a particular method succeeds and fails.
All accepted papers and thesis proposals will be presented either as oral
presentations or during poster sessions, which will give students an
opportunity to interact with and to present their work to a large and
diverse audience, including top researchers in the field and assigned
mentors.
Pre-Submission Mentorship Program
The SRW offers students the opportunity to receive feedback prior to
submitting their work for review. The goal of the pre-submission mentorship
program is to improve the quality of writing and presentation of the
student's work, not to critique the work itself. Participation is optional
but encouraged. The pre-submission mentorship is not anonymous.
Students wishing to participate in the pre-submission mentorship must
submit their paper draft by March 10, 2023.
Note that even though the mentoring is not done anonymously, the paper
needs to be anonymized. We will check for the formality of the paper
including formatting before we match it with mentors.
The participants will be assigned a mentor who will review and will provide
feedback within four weeks. This mentor will not be the same person who
will review the final submission. The feedback will be in the form of
guidelines and suggestions to improve the overall writing, which should
ideally be incorporated before the actual submission deadline.
You CAN submit a paper at the SRW submission deadline even if you did not
participate in the pre-submission mentoring. If you did submit a draft for
pre-submission mentoring, you will need to make a new submission for the
final version of the paper. The submission website will have separate
tracks for pre-submission mentorship and the final paper submission.
Submission Requirements
We accept both archival submissions (which will be included in the
conference proceedings) and non-archival submissions (which will be
presented at the workshop but will not be included in the proceedings).
All submissions (archival and non-archival) must follow the anonymity
period and the restrictions of the main conference.
Long papers consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, plus an unlimited
number of pages for references and supplementary material like the
appendix. Upon acceptance, papers will be given one additional page of
content (up to 9 pages).
Short papers consist of up to four (4) pages of content, plus an unlimited
number of pages for references and supplementary material like the
appendix. Upon acceptance, papers will be given one additional page of
content (up to 5 pages).
Authors are encouraged to use the additional page to address reviewers’
comments.
Paper submissions must use the official ACL style templates, which are
available as an Overleaf template
<https://www.overleaf.com/read/crtcwgxzjskr> and also downloadable directly
<https://github.com/acl-org/ACLPUB/tree/master/templates> (Latex and Word).
We strongly encourage participants to use the Latex template. All
submissions must be in PDF format and must conform to the official style
guidelines, which are contained in these template files. The review process
will be double-blind, and thus all submissions must be anonymized.

including but not limited to the following:
-
Computational Social Science and Social Media
