*** CoNLL 2020 -- Second (Updated) Call for Papers ***
https://www.conll.org/2020 SIGNLL, the Association for Computational Linguistics' Special Interest Group on Natural Language Learning, invites submissions to the 24th SIGNLL Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL 2020). The conference will be held online on November 19-20, 2020, immediately following EMNLP 2020. *Invited speakers* - Emmanuel Dupoux (EHESS, Ecole Normale Supérieure and Facebook AI Research, Paris, France) - Kristina Toutanova (Google, Seattle, USA) The main focus of CoNLL is on theoretically, cognitively and scientifically motivated approaches to computational linguistics, rather than on work driven by particular engineering applications. Such approaches include: - Computational learning theory and other techniques for theoretical analysis of machine learning models for NLP - Models of first, second and bilingual language acquisition by humans - Models of language evolution and change - Computational simulation and analysis of findings from psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic experiments - Analysis and interpretation of NLP models using methods inspired by cognitive science or linguistics or other methods - Data resources, techniques and tools for scientifically-oriented research in computational linguistics - Connections between computational models and formal languages or linguistic theories - Linguistic typology and other multilingual work We welcome work targeting any aspect of language, including: - Speech and phonology - Syntactic parsing - Lexical, compositional and discourse semantics - Dialogue and interactive language use - Sociolinguistics - Multimodal and grounded language learning Submitted papers must be anonymous and use the EMNLP 2020 template ( https://2020.emnlp.org/files/emnlp2020-templates.zip). Submitted papers may consist of up to 8 pages of content plus unlimited space for references. Authors of accepted papers will have an additional page to address reviewers’ comments in the camera-ready version (9 pages of content in total, excluding references). Anonymized supplementary materials are allowed as an optional PDF appendix, in line with EMNLP 2020 guidelines. Submission is electronic, using the Softconf START conference management system. CoNLL adheres to the ACL anonymity policy, as described in the EMNLP 2020 Call for Papers (https://2020.emnlp.org/call-for-papers). Briefly, manuscripts submitted to CoNLL cannot be posted to preprint websites such as arXiv or advertised on social media after June 17. *Multiple submission policy* CoNLL 2020 will not consider any paper that is under review at the time of submission, and submitted papers must not be submitted elsewhere during the CoNLL 2020 review period. In addition, we will not consider any paper that overlaps significantly in content or results with papers that will be (or have been) published elsewhere. Authors submitting more than one paper to CoNLL 2020 must ensure that the submissions do not overlap significantly (>25%) with each other in content or results. *Important dates* Anonymity period starts: June 17, 2020 Paper submission deadline: July 17, 2020 Notification of acceptance and end of anonymity period: September 18, 2020 Camera-ready due: October 9, 2020 Conference: November 19-20, 2020 (right after EMNLP 2020) All deadlines are at 11:59pm UTC-12h ("anywhere on earth"). *CoNLL 2020 Chairs* - Raquel Fernández (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) - Tal Linzen (Johns Hopkins University, USA) ----- Arianna Bisazza Assistant Professor University of Groningen -- http://www.cs.rug.nl/~bisazza
