EACL 2014
EACL 2014 was held in Gothenburg, Sweden, on 26–30 April 2014. The conference consisted of two days of workshops and tutorials, followed by three days of the main session.
For the first time, the program included both long and short papers. We received 317 long paper submissions, of which 78 (24.6%) were accepted; and 199 short paper submissions, of which 46 (23.1%) were accepted. 82 of the papers were presented orally, and the remaining ones were presented as posters. We also had two presentations of TACL papers. The program also included a Student Research Workshop, with 13 accepted papers (out of 42 submissions, 30%); a demo session with 26 accepted demos; 14 workshops, a record number; and 6 tutorials. Invited speakers Simon King, Ulrike von Luxburg, and Dan Roth gave excellent keynote presentations.
The scientific program was augmented by an extended social program. A reception was hosted by the city of Gothenburg on Sunday; the poster-demo session was accompanied by drinks and refreshments, in a way that encouraged many participants to spend time in front of the presentations; and a conference dinner, which was included in the registration fee, was organized in a unique setting on Tuesday. And on Wednesday, the Gothenburg traditional Cortege was held just after the closing session.
The conference attracted a record number of 512 participants, of which almost 400 attended the main session, 375 the workshops and 118, the tutorials. Careful planning of the budget by the local organizers, as well as generous support by several sponsors, resulted in a healthy surplus of about USD 20,000.
