ACL Policy on Publication Ethics

June 19, 2024 | BY webmaster

ACL has now established a policy on publication ethics. Our policy draws on existing practices and standards in the ACL, both explicit and de facto, and common standards in similar bodies. The policy covers issues such as plagiarism, the use of LLMs in producing reviews, disclosures of e.g. authorial control of papers, and what kind of content is suitable in papers at ACL venues. This policy is researched and written by the ACL publication ethics committee, a team of volunteers in the community, and voted in by the ACL. The committee will also manage relevant referred cases to the ACL. More information: https://www.aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php/ACL_Policy_on_Publication_Ethics

What is computational linguistics?

Computational linguistics is the scientific study of language from a computational perspective. Computational linguists are interested in providing computational models of various kinds of linguistic phenomena. These models may be "knowledge-based" ("hand-crafted") or "data-driven" ("statistical" or "empirical"). Work in computational linguistics is in some cases motivated from a scientific perspective in that one is trying to provide a computational explanation for a particular linguistic or psycholinguistic phenomenon; and in other cases the motivation may be more purely technological in that one wants to provide a working component of a speech or natural language system. Indeed, the work of computational linguists is incorporated into many working systems today, including speech recognition systems, text-to-speech synthesizers, automated voice response systems, web search engines, text editors, language instruction materials, to name just a few.

Popular computational linguistics textbooks include:
