The
21st
International
Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories (TLT) will bring
together developers and users of linguistically annotated natural
language corpora and take place during the week of March 9th–12th,
2023 in Washington D.C. on the campus of Georgetown University as
part of GURT 2023.
VENUE
The
Georgetown University Round Table on Linguistics (GURT) is a
peer-reviewed annual linguistics conference held continuously since
1949 at Georgetown University in Washington DC, with topics and
co-located events varying from year to year. Under an overarching
theme of ‘Computational and Corpus Linguistics’, GURT 2023 will
feature four events, which are workshops or conferences focused on
computational and corpus approaches to syntax but also covering
theoretical issues: Universal Dependency Workshop (UDW), Depling,
Treebanks and Linguistic Theory (TLT), and CxGs+NLP. All talks from
all events will take place in a single (non-parallel) plenary
session, with the papers from one event being presented
contiguously. The goal of co-locating these events is to
promote cross-fertilization of ideas across subcommunities.
Proceedings will be published separately for each event, and will be
available in the ACL Anthology.
In
order to support rich discussions and networking with minimal
overhead and cost, GURT will be primarily an in-person
event;
we will, however, accommodate a limited number of live/synchronous
remote presentations, prioritizing those with circumstances that
prevent travel. University policies regarding COVID safety will be in
force during the event.
Georgetown
University is located in a historic neighborhood in the heart of the
nation’s capital. The city is a premier tourist destination, and
the region is served by Reagan National (DCA), Dulles (IAD), and
Baltimore-Washington (BWI) airports.
SUBMISSION
INFORMATION
TLT
addresses all aspects of treebank design, development, and use. As
‘treebanks’ we consider any pairing of natural language data
(spoken, signed, or written) with annotations of linguistic structure
at various levels of analysis, including, e.g., morpho-phonology,
syntax, semantics, and discourse. Annotations can take any form
(including trees or general graphs), but they should be encoded in a
way that enables computational processing. Reflections on the design
of linguistic annotations, methodology studies, resource
announcements or updates, annotation or conversion tool development,
or reports on treebank usage are but some examples of the types of
papers we anticipate for TLT.
Papers
should describe original work; they should emphasize completed work
rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of
completion of the reported results. Submissions will be judged on
correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and
relevance to the conference, and interest to the attendees.
We
invite paper submissions in two distinct tracks:
-
long
papers on substantial, original, and unpublished research, including
empirical evaluation results, where appropriate; -
short
papers on smaller, focused contributions, work in progress, negative
results, surveys, or opinion pieces.
All
papers accepted for presentation at the workshop will be included in
the TLT 2023 proceedings volume, which will be part of the ACL
Anthology.
Long
papers may consist of up to 8 pages of content (excluding references
and appendices). Short papers may consist of up to 4
pages
of content (excluding references and appendices). Accepted papers
will be given an additional page to address reviewer comments.
All
submissions should follow the two-column format and the ACL style
guidelines. We strongly recommend the use of the LaTeX style files,
OpenDocument, or Microsoft Word templates created for ACL:
https://github.com/acl-org/
All
papers must be anonymous, i.e., not reveal author(s) on the title
page or through self-references. So, e.g., “We previously showed
(Smith, 2020) …”, should be avoided. Instead, use citations such
as “Smith (2020) previously showed …”. Papers must be submitted
digitally, in PDF, and uploaded through the on-line conference
system:
https://openreview.net/group?
Double
submission policy: We will accept submissions that have been or will
be submitted elsewhere, but require that the authors notify us,
including information on where else they are submitting. We also
require that authors withdraw work that will be published elsewhere
(no double publication).
Submissions
that violate these requirements will be rejected without review.
All
papers will be refereed through a double-blind peer review process
with final acceptance decisions made by the workshop organizers.
Submissions may be selected for publication in a GURT venue other
than TLT at the discretion of the organizers.
