  Call for Proposals for Thematic Sessions

A Thematic Session provides a good occasion to focus people with the same special interest, so that they can meet each other at a specific time-space to discuss and exchange ideas. Due to the successful history of Thematic Session in ACL, IJCNLP-04 would like to offer the opportunity again to let you organize your own Thematic Session within the main conference. You are encouraged to submit the proposal for Thematic Session, and to take this chance to promote a special area/topic/approach and to find out who are interested in that.

The Thematic Session Proposals will be evaluated by the IJCNLP-04 program chairs, and those accepted ones will be announced in the Call for Papers announcement. Submitting papers to Thematic Sessions is the same as that for ordinary sessions of the main conference (In the submission page, we will have a check-box to let the author select the general session or a particular thematic session). The organizer of each Thematic Session needs to organize his/her own sub-committee for reviewing their assigned papers and to make recommendation. However, the IJCNLP-04 program committee reserves the right to make the final adjustment to keep the same quality standard across various general sessions and thematic sessions. How many time-slots (usually 3 to 4 papers per slot) would be assigned to a specific Thematic Session (or if it will be requested to merge with another session) will depend on the final number of submissions accepted.

Please submit your proposals for Thematic Session to

Dr. Keh-Yih Su (kysu@bdc.com.tw)

before September 20, 2003.

The proposal should indicate what kind of group would be interested in the proposed theme, and it should also predict the number of possible submissions. The list of your sub-committee-members that you would like to invite should also be provided with their affiliations. The notification of acceptance of Thematic Sessions is October 1, and you are requested to give a short description for Call-for-Paper on your Thematic Sessions before October 15. The paper submission deadline will be November 15 (which is the same as the general session).
