LAST CALL FOR PAPERS
The second Chinese Language Processing Workshop
Sponsored by SIGLEX, SIGDAT and SIGPARSE.
October 2000
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
In conjunction with ACL-2000
Growing interest in Chinese Language Processing is leading to the development of resources such as annotated corpora and automatic segmenters, part-of-speech taggers and parsers. The first Asian ACL provides an ideal opportunity to bring together influential researchers from Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Beijing, as well as Chinese language researchers in the rest of the world, to discuss issues that are specific to the processing of Chinese. A critical tool for developing Chinese language processing tools is the availability of annotated corpora. The greater the consensus we have around guidelines for corpus annotation of part-of-speech tags, syntactic bracketing and other areas, the more useful this corpora will be.
We welcome submissions that address the following topics on Chinese language processing:

We invite workshop participants to take advantage of two bracketed corpora:
- The first one, the Chinese Penn Treebank, was developed at University of Pennsylvania, USA. It includes 100-thousand words from Xinhua News. The corpus has been released via LDC at UPenn. For more information and the release announcement, please check the website "http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/ctb/".
- The second one, developed by CKIP, Academia Sinica in Taiwan, contains more than 30,000 sentences. A trial version of 1,000 sentences is now available for downloading by the public at http://godel.iis.sinica.edu.tw/CKIP/trees1000.htm The release of the complete treebank is being reviewed by Academia Sinica. Preliminary arrangements have been made for the treebank to be licensed through ROCLING. Please check their website (http://rocling.iis.sinica.edu.tw/ROCLING) for announcements.
The workshop will be held either on Oct 7 or Oct 8. For the latest updates of the workshop, please check "http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/ctb/clp00.html". If you have any questions concerning the workshop or the Treebank, please email us at chinese@linc.cis.upenn.edu.
Submissions:
Submissions are limited to original, unpublished work. Papers may not exceed 3200 words (exclusive of title page and references). Papers outside the specified length are subject to be rejected without review. The paper should be written in English.
The style files for submission are the same as the ones for ACL regular papers, which can be downloaded from http://www.cs.ust.hk/acl2000/fcfp.html. The reviewing of papers will be blind. Hence the title page and paper should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity (e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...") should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...".
As reviewing will be blind, a separate title page and identification page will be required. The title page should include the following information:
| Title: | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The identification page should contain all of the information in the title page, but in addition must include the authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses. The format for the identification page should be as follows:
| Title: | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Submissions must be received by July 10, 2000. Six (6) paper copies (printed on both sides of the page if possible) including the title page plus two (2) identification pages should be submitted to the following address:
| CLP-2000 submission | |
| c/o Fei Xia | |
| Institute for Research in Cognitive Science (IRCS) | |
| 3401 Walnut St. Suite 400A | |
| Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA |
Also, a postscript version of the paper (EXCLUDING the ID page) must be emailed to chinese@linc.cis.upenn.edu on or before July 10. Please also email us an ID page in a separate email. Once the submission is received, a paper ID will be assigned to the paper and this ID number will be emailed to the authors. The authors should include the ID number in the subject lines in subsequent email exchanges.
