2014Q3 Reports: EMNLP 2014

The upcoming conference, Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP) of SIGDAT, will take place October 25–29, 2014 in Doha, Qatar. It will span three days of paper presentations plus two days of workshops and tutorials.

This year EMNLP proposes several novelties:

1. a large organization committee, typical of very large conferences such as ACL and NAACL.

2. A considerable number of student scholarships for attending the conference will be made available.

3. For the first time, EMNLP 2014 will have tutorials.

4. A large program of seven workshops

The submission deadline has just passed and we received 840 submissions. There were 37 withdrawn papers until now, which modifies our counts to 525 long and 278 short papers.

Everything is proceeding smoothly with the organization.

This thread is of course preliminary and it will be updated at the end of the conference.
