Final CALL for Papers
UMR Parsing Workshop
University of Colorado, Boulder
June 14, 2024 
https://umr4nlp.github.io/web/UMRParsingWorkshop.html 
Organizers: Nianwen Xue, James Martin, Jon Cai, Marie Claire, Jayeol Chun, 
Haibo Sun

This workshop will focus on developing parsers for Uniform Meaning 
Representations. The goal is to start from raw text from real-world settings 
that could be in any one of many typologically different languages, even 
low-resource languages for which there is little or no training data. This can 
be achieved by exploiting a common semantic annotation standard. This workshop 
has been made possible by funding for NSF Collaborative Research: Building a 
Broad Infrastructure for Uniform Meaning Representations (Award # 2213805), 
which is aimed at developing guidelines and annotation for cross-lingual 
Uniform Meaning Representations, based on the original Abstract Meaning 
Representation guidelines for English, but ensuring cross-linguistically 
consistent annotation and recoverability of the original raw texts. 
This workshop will overlap with the last day of the Colorado UMR Annotation 
Summer School. https://umr4nlp.github.io/web/SummerSchool.html
The workshop is open to everyone and will cover the fundamentals of UMR 
annotation and the differences between AMR and UMR. In addition to an invited 
speaker, there will be presentations on recent successful approaches to AMR 
parsing and how they can be applied to UMR parsing.  We welcome submissions 
from anyone on related topics, such as:
●       AMR or UMR parsing for any language
●       AMR or UMR generation for any language
●       Evaluation metrics for AMR or UMR parsing
●       Bootstrapping of AMRs or UMRs from related semantic representations 
such as Propbanks
●       Projections of English AMR onto other languages;
●       Challenges of applying AMR annotation to languages other than English;
●       Challenges of accurate multi-sentence coreference as a subtask of AMR 
parsing;
●       Any other topic related to the parsing and generation of AMRs or UMRs.

Important dates 
●       Workshop paper submissions due:         March 30, 2024
●       Notification of acceptance:     April 25, 2024
●       Camera-ready versions due:      May 30, 2024

Submissions 
Submissions should report original and unpublished research on topics of 
interest to the workshop. Accepted papers are expected to be presented at the 
workshop and will be published in the workshop proceedings. They should 
emphasize obtained results rather than intended work and should clearly 
indicate the state of completion of the reported results. 

Submission is electronic, using the Workshop submission site in Easy Chair. 
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=umrpw2024 

Submissions must adhere to the two-column format of ACL venues, using the 
Overleaf template taken from ACL 2023. 
https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/acl-2023-proceedings-template/qjdgcrdwcnwp
 
Initial submissions should be fully anonymous to ensure double-blind reviewing. 
Long papers must not exceed eight (8) pages of content; short papers must not 
exceed four (4) pages of content. References and appendices do not count 
against these limits. 

To ensure double-blind reviews, papers must not include the authors’ names and 
affiliations or self-references that reveal any author’s identity. Papers that 
do not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review.
