AFNLP has been working very closely with other sister associations in this quarter. Many of the events will be described in this issue, including:

  • Collaboration with the Association Computational Linguistics and Chinese Language Processing (ACLCLP), Taiwan, to organize the 2017 conference
  • Support China Computer Federation (CCF) and Chinese Language Computer Society (CLCS) to organize the 4th Natural Language Processing & Chinese Computing and 24th International Conference on Computer Processing of Oriental Languages (NLPCC-ICCPOL-2016), Kunming, China, December 2-6 2016.
  • Collaborate with COLING2016 to organize the 12th Workshop on Asian Language Resources, December 12, 2016, Osaka, Japan.

AFNLP keeps a close working relationship with ACL. Since our inception, AFNLP has a representative sitting in the ACL Executive Committee and ACL has one in ours. Respectively, they are Haifang Wang and Pushpak Bhattacharyya. They take up the strategic role of linking between both societies. Furthermore, AFNLP has been influential to ACL management with our members, Pushpak Bhattacharyya (AFNLP Member-At-Large, 2015-2017), Haifang Wang (AFNLP Liasion Member, 2013-14, 2015-2016) and Jun’ichi Tsujii (AFNLP President 2007-2008), serve(d) as ACL Presidents, 2016, 2013, and 2006, respectively.
