SIGDAT, the ACL special interest group on Linguistic data and corpus-based approaches to NLP will be holding its annual conference, EMNLP-15 in Lisbon on October 18-21.
- Conference chair: Lluís Màrquez
- Program chairs: Chris Callison-Burch and Jian Su
- Workshops chairs: Zornitsa Kozareva and Jörg Tiedemann
- Publication chair: Daniele Pighin and Yuval Marton
It is being held as a stand-alone conference with attached workshops. More information about the conference can be found at http://www.emnlp2015.org/
The general consensus of the SIGDAT standing committee is that NLP is large enough for another major conference, and it is generally a good idea to have conferences throughout the year. Thus our intention is to continue with the stand-alone model.
EMNLP 2015 is planned as a stand-alone conference in Lisbon, Portugal.
The SIGDAT officers are
- President: Mark Johnson
- Vice President: Mark Steedman
- Vice President-Elect: Pascale Fung
- Secretary-Treasurer: Noah Smith
There is also as standing committee of about 45 members.
