The 1st Conference of the Asia-Pacific Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics and the 9th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing (AACL-IJCNLP 2020) will be held from December 4th to December 7th, 2020. The conference invites the submission of long and short papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research in all aspects of natural language processing. Accepted papers will be presented as oral talks or posters.
AACL-IJCNLP 2020 has a goal of a diverse technical program. In addition to traditional research results, papers may present negative findings, survey an area, announce the creation of a new resource, argue a position, and report novel linguistic insights. All accepted papers must be presented at the conference to appear in the proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for AACL-IJCNLP 2020 by the early registration deadline.

AACL-IJCNLP 2020 uses a double-blind review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three program committee members.
**IMPORTANT: Anonymity Period**
AACL-IJCNLP 2020 adopts ACL’s new policies for submission, review, and citation. Submissions that violate any of these policies will be rejected without review.
Most importantly, the policies define an anonymity period, which starts on May 26, 2020 (11:59pm PDT) and end on Sept 11, 2020.
If you have posted a non-anonymized version of your paper online before the start of the anonymity period, you may submit an anonymized version to the conference. The submitted version must not refer to the non-anonymized version, and you must inform the program chair(s) that a non-anonymized version exists. During the anonymity period, you may not update a non-anonymized version, advertise an anonymized or non-anonymized version on social media, or take any other action that would compromise double-blind reviewing during the anonymity period.
