FIRST CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
SIGDAT, the Association for Computational Linguistics' special interest group on linguistic data and corpus-based approaches to NLP, is pleased to announce that EMNLP 2016 will be held on November 1–5, 2016, in Austin, Texas, USA. The conference includes three days of paper presentations and invited talks, plus two days consisting of eight workshops and six tutorials. We are excited to announce our invited speakers: Christopher Potts (Stanford University), Andreas Stolcke (Microsoft Research), and Stefanie Tellex (Brown University).
The conference program includes long and short papers related to empirical methods in natural language processing. Accepted papers will be presented as oral talks or posters. As in recent years, the conference will also include presentations of selected papers accepted by the Transactions of the ACL (http://www.transacl.org/).
This year, EMNLP is collocated with AMTA 2016, hosted by the Association for Machine Translation in the Americas, held from October 28 to November 1. Also in Austin, HCOMP 2016, the 4th AAAI Conference on Human Computation and Crowdsourcing, will be held from October 30 to November 3.
We invite you to join us!
