IJCNLP 2013: The 6th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing
The International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing (IJCNLP) was initiated in 2004 by The Asian Federation of Natural Language Processing (AFNLP) Associations with the major goal to provide a platform for researchers and professionals from around the world to share their experiences related to natural language processing and computational linguistics. In the past years, IJCNLPs were held in 5 different places: Hainan Island (2004), Jeju Island (2005), Hyderabad (2008), Singapore (2009), and Chiang Mai (2011). This year the 6th IJCNLP will be held in Nagoya, Japan, October 14-19, 2013. The conference will cover a broad spectrum of technical areas related to natural language and computation. Besides main conference, the program includes tutorials, demonstrations, and workshops.

53rd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics and the 7th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing of the Asian Federation of Natural Language Processing
The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) and the Asian Federation of Natural Language Processing (AFNLP) hereby invite proposals to host the joint conference in the Asia-Australasia-Oceania region in July or August 2015.
2013 Institute of the Linguistic Society of America: Call for Workshop and Conference Proposals
The 2013 Linguistic Institute will take place June 24 to July 19, 2013 on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, with the theme ‘Universality and Variability'. The Institute focus will be on the unusual synergies currently emerging in Linguistics, tied to exploring and modeling what is invariant about human language while also working to understand the complexities of linguistic variability. These synergies necessarily involve basic research concerning fundamental aspects of linguistic knowledge and the integration of diverse approaches to linguistic study, particularly as linked to the study of language as a cognitive endowment and process and the study of language as a central component of human cultures, social action and perception.
Launch of Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL)
ACL announces the launch of Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL), a new ACL-sponsored journal that publishes papers in all areas of computational linguistics and natural language processing.
New ACL journal – Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL)
Following the decision of the ACL Executive Committee, which was announced at the ACL Business Meeting this year in Portland, we are now happy to launch the TACL journal - Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics.
TACL targets papers of quite similar scope to our current (long) conference papers. Papers published at TACL will also receive a presentation slot at the annual ACL conference. TACL is thus intended to become an additional submission venue for presentation at the conference, coupled with fast turnaround journal-style reviewing and a journal publication. In the future, additional conferences may join as presentation venues for TACL papers. While coupling with a conference presentation is a major feature of TACL, authors may choose to avoid such presentation.
The first two co-editors of TACL are Michael Collins and Dekang Lin, who will lead the journal setup and operation. The journal is expected to open for submissions in spring 2012, with papers accepted by a pre-set deadline receiving a presentation slot at ACL-2013. Additional details will be provided in the near future on the journal website and in a call for papers.
You are all welcome to plan your submissions to TACL!

ACL Fellows Program
Greetings,
I am happy to announce that the ACL Executive Committee has approved the creation of an ACL Fellows program, which recognizes ACL members whose contributions to the field have been most extraordinary. To be named a Fellow, a candidate must have been a member of the ACL for the past three consecutive years and be nominated by a current ACL member.
Seventeen ACL members are among the founding group of Fellows. Each of these 2011 Fellows has been a major force in computational linguistics, and each has been a member of ACL for the last three years. Please see the list at http://aclweb.org/aclwiki/index.php?title=ACL_Fellows and congratulate them!
A small group of new Fellows will be announced each year. If you would like to nominate a candidate, please make your nomination at http://www.aclweb.org/portal/nominations. If you are unsure about a candidate's eligibility, please send a query to
. A nominator must provide a comprehensive case for the candidate and solicit two additional recommendations. The nominator should direct the recommenders to fill out recommendation forms (ACL will not contact individual recommenders or solicit letters). All forms submitted by October 1 of a given year will be considered, and submitted forms will be kept confidential.
Regards, Kevin Knight, ACL President on behalf of the ACL Executive Committee
