Connectionists: EMNLP 2019 Workshop on Noisy User-generated Text (submission deadline extended)

[Xu, Wei]

5th Workshop on Noisy User-generated Text at EMNLP 2019 - Call for Papers

Workshop website: http://noisy-text.github.io/2019/


The WNUT workshop focuses on Natural Language Processing applied to noisy user-generated text, such as that found in social media, online reviews, crowdsourced data, web forums, clinical records and language learner essays.

We seek submissions of regular papers on original and unpublished work (same page limit EMNLP main conference; long or short papers). 1-page abstracts on work-in-progress or work published elsewhere are also welcome and will *not* be included in the conference proceedings. All accepted submissions will be presented as posters. Additionally, selected submissions will be presented orally.


Important Dates:
- Extended Submission Deadline: Wednesday, August 21 (anywhere on earth)
- Acceptance Notification: Monday, September 16
- Camera-Ready: Monday, September 30
- Workshop: November 3 or November 4, EMNLP (Hong Kong)
