Submission guidelines
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. Wherever appropriate, concrete evaluation results should be included. Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and relevance to the conference, and interest to the attendees.
A paper accepted for presentation at the ACL Meeting, including ACL-related workshops and conferences, cannot be presented or have been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Papers that are being submitted to other conferences or workshops must indicate this on the title page, as must papers that contain significant overlap with previously published work.
Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and should not exceed eight (8) pages, including references. We strongly recommend the use of ACL LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word Style files tailored for this year's conference. A description of the format is also available in case you are unable to use these style files directly. Papers must conform to the official ACL-07 style guidelines, and we reserve the right to reject submissions that do not conform to these styles including font size restrictions.
As reviewing will be blind, the paper should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-citations and other references (e.g. to projects, corpora, or software) that could reveal the author's identity should be avoided. For example, instead of "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", write "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...".
Submission will be electronic, using the START paper submission webpage. The only accepted format for submitted papers is Adobe PDF. The papers must be submitted no later than 5pm US Eastern time January 23, 2007 (10pm GMT January 23, 2007). Papers submitted after that time will not be reviewed. Please consult the submission web page for details of the submission procedure. Questions regarding the submission procedure should be directed to the Program Co-Chairs (zaenen@parc.com or antal.vdnbosch@uvt.nl).
