The ACL is seeking nominations for a 3-year term of Editor-in-Chief of the ACL's journal "Transactions of the ACL" (TACL).
Computational Linguistics is the premier journal in the areas of natural language processing and computational linguistics. It is a high-impact-factor, open-access, electronic-only journal, published by the MIT Press for the Association for Computational Linguistics.
The editor's role includes the following activities:
The ACL Executive Committee has adopted new policies for submission to *ACL conferences and the TACL journal. The policies specify under what conditions papers available as preprints can be submitted for double-blind review, and also clarify the status of preprints with respect to citation and review. The new policies have been developed by a working group appointed by the Executive Committee, taking into account the results of our membership survey and discussions at the ACL business meeting in Vancouver.
During its 55th annual meeting in Vancouver, Canada (July 30 - August 4, 2017), the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) awarded its 2017 ACL Lifetime Achievement Award to Professor Barbara Grosz.
Aurélie Névéol, Karën Fort and Rebecca Hwa recently completed a survey among reviewers for EMNLP 2017, investigating among other things to what extent reviewers are able to identify authors in double-blind review. We are happy to announce that a report containing results and analysis from the survey is now available. [Please click here to download the report]
The ACL Executive Committee has recently completed a survey on preprint publishing and reviewing in order to gather more information about common practices among our members and seek opinions on future policy. We are happy to announce that a report containing results and analysis from the survey is now available. [Please click here to download the report].
The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL), a global scientific and educational organization representing the natural language processing community, expresses strong disagreement with U.S. Presidential Executive Order 13769, which imposes a 90-day suspension of visas to nationals of seven countries and additional examination of current green card and visa holders from those countries.
I am happy to announce the results of the elections for members of the ACL executive committee:
