About the Student Research Workshop
**
The EACL 2024 Student Research Workshop (SRW) is a forum to bring together students investigating various areas of Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. The workshop provides an excellent opportunity for participants to present their work and to receive mentorship and valuable feedback from the international research community.
The workshop's goal is to aid students at multiple stages of their education, including undergraduate, MSc/MA, junior and senior PhD students, in getting familiar with conducting and presenting their research.
General Invitation for Submission*
We invite papers in two different categories:
*
**
*
Thesis Proposals: This category is appropriate for PhD students who have decided on a thesis topic and wish to get feedback on their proposal and broader ideas for their continuing work.
*
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 student (graduate or undergraduate). Topics of interest for the SRW are the same as for the main EACL 2024 conference:https://www.2022.aclweb.org/callshttps://2024.eacl.org/calls/papers/ https://2024.eacl.org/calls/papers/
We are opening a unique opportunity for the submission of research papers that, while not accepted to the EACL main conference, align well with the themes of this workshop. To be eligible for submission, the first author must be a current student. Additionally, submissions should be complemented with the reviews from ARR to provide context and insights for evaluation. The submission deadline for this will be January 17, 2024.
Why Submit to EACL SRW?
*
Mentorship program: EACL SRW provides a unique opportunity for students to receive constructive feedback and advise from more senior researchers through our on-site mentorship program.
*
Improving your publication record: Publishing a paper as an undergraduate or as a MSc/MA student is beneficial when applying for a PhD program. Publishing a paper in an EACL SRW workshop can be really helpful for improving students’ publication records.
*
Negative results: we encourage the submission of studies with negative results providing insights on why and in which scenarios a particular method fails.
All accepted papers and thesis proposals will be presented in the main conference poster sessions, which will give students an opportunity to interact with and to present their work to a large and diverse audience, including top researchers in the field and assigned mentors.**
