2015Q3 Reports: Demo Chair

Hsin-Hsi Chen and Katja Markert co-chaired the system demonstrations session at the 53rd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics and the 7th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing. The system demonstrations program offers the presentation of early research prototypes as well as interesting mature systems. Each demonstration paper consists of 6 pages (including references).

We received 62 submissions, of which 25 were selected for inclusion in the program (acceptance rate of 40.32%) after review by three members of the program committee. The program committee for system demonstrations is composed of 36 members. Each reviewer is allocated at most 6 papers. The evaluation criteria refer to regular papers, but emphasizes on research prototypes and mature systems.
