### General Invitation for Submission #### </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" class="">
The Student Research Workshop (SRW) provides a venue for student researchers to present their work in computational linguistics and natural language processing. Students receive feedback from the general conference audience as well as from mentors specifically
assigned according to the topic of their work. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" class="">
We invite papers in two different categories: </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" class="">
* Thesis Proposals: This category is appropriate for advanced students who have decided on a thesis topic and wish to get feedback on their proposal and broader ideas for their continuing work. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" class="">
* Research Papers: Papers in this category can describe completed work, or work in progress with preliminary results. For these papers, the first author must be a current graduate or undergraduate student. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" class="">
Topics of interest for the SRW are the same as NAACL main conference. See the list of topics at <a href="http://naacl2018.org/call_for_paper.html" class="">http://naacl2018.org/call_for_paper.html</a>. </div>
